This says that this chair is 500 lb weight limit.  That may be true about the strength of the legs, but it is not true about the structure of the actual chair where it matters most.   I am not 500lbs but It is important to me as a large person to have the structure of the seat feel strong, this chair feels very poorly made and not strong for large people.  Not what I expected.  Had I paid full price for this chair I would have been very very upset.  At $293 it is ok but not good for a large person.
