I was hesitant on buying this, but I loved the look so much that I took the leap.  I was pleasantly surprised.  It’s a metal based chair, I’m about 220 lbs and I feel like it holds up.  It’s comfortable for me, but I’m about 5 ft tall.  It is plushy, not sure how it will hold up, but so far I really like it.  Setup was easy, took a few minutes.
