These chairs are ultra comfortable, ultra stylish, and match our more contemporary home design.
When I received the chairs, and looked at the instruction book it stated that the maximum weight limit was 220 pounds. The online description stated that the weight limit was 297 pounds. I talked to customer service and they set out to get clarification. Apparently the instruction booklet was an old version. I was assured that the weight limit was indeed 297 pounds! 
The chairs did arrive a couple days later than original delivery date, no big deal!
