We purchased this set for my 90 year old father's in-law suite. He weighs less than 190 lbs and the max weight for these chairs is 220. When sitting in chair it totally leaned backwards and the soldering that connects the back to the back of the seat broke completely on both sides. Thank goodness he was able to catch himself when he lost his balance or it could have resulted in a serious injury. This item is not safe and needs to be removed from inventory until Wayfair reassesses the quality of construction with the supplier. The two pipes on each side weren't even fully connected to one another all that held them together were globs of soldering. And the chair doesn't even sit up straight it leans back a bit.
