I purchased this chair for my brother who is having knee replacement surgery in January because I’m hoping the lift assist  will make it easier for him to get in and out of the chair.My brother is 6’1” and 268lbs and I also  got this chair because the maximum weight was 350lbs. I was somewhat surprised when the chair was delivered because it is much smaller than expected. My brother says it’s comfortable and that’s important, but I just hope it will hold up well considering the chair size and my brothers size.
