This chair is a lifesaver! I got it for a heavy handicapped person with linited mobility. It is very light and easy to move -although it can hold up to 1000 pounds. Person can now sit up at the table, work in office, and join in alot of things they couldn’t beforebecause of the size and ease and comfort of this chair. It is not too high for getting up and down as well. In summary, this purchase was well worth the money ( and bonus  I got it on sale too!!) ! It would be good for office waiting rooms too, but i was surprised how versatile and useful it can be at home as well. It has bern a life changer for us! Thank you Wayfair!
