This is an excellent chair. It feels sturdy and provides nice cushion. I like that my dad who is heavier won't need to feel worried when he sits on this. It will hold him and be comfortable. While the profile is pretty tall when folded up, it's not excessively big when unfolded and ready to use. Some chairs look huge and silly when they are made to support more weight, but not this one. It is a standard size (with heavy duty support) that is easy to clean and fold up to put away.
