None of the reviews I read about this chair mentioned that the wings on the sides of the seat have a metal bar that dig into the side of your legs and hips. It's got so many great features, but this chair is definitely not for the "big and tall" market. Tall yes, but the seat is more narrow than a cheap office chair I've used for years. I'm not a wide guy, but this chair basically requires you to sit with your legs together to keep from being painful at the hips. The construction quality is good and I like the features generally, but it's just not a comfortable chair for anybody over 200 lbs. I will try to return this if I can meet the stiff return requirements of Wayfair and pay an extra fee.
