This chair kind of cheaply made, the interior wood is light, not the best quality.  If a larger man sits on it, it might stress the wood and cause it to crack.  I heard the wood crack as I put it together - had to force the seat and back part to line up to get the 2 screws  in.  However, the chair looks pretty good and is comfortable and sturdy enough for me (5’7, 160lbs).
