I purchased these chairs to use in our business' tradeshow booth. They have the sleek, modern look we are going for, use a small footprint and can be disassembled for shipping. I like that they assemble very easily and are light weight. I'm not sure the weight limit for these chairs, but I wouldn't recommend them for heavier use. Also, the plastic handle on the lever broke during the first use, but the lever is still functional without it.
