My husband was sitting in the chair when it broke.   The stated weight capacity is 275 lbs.  My husband weighs 220 lbs.  This chair was obviously defective because the white and gray chairs that I purchased at the same time are fine, and my husband sits in both.   Wayfair refused to provide a credit or a refund.  My rating would be 0 stars, but a selection was required in order to submit the review.
