Purchased because of the weight rating and the fact that it takes up less space than my previous chair. I was sold when I saw in the specifications in the listing that the chair was made in USA by HON. Easy to assemble, instructions pictured the chair being assembled atop the box it came in. Cushion is hard, but I can sit in the chair for several hours with little impact. Would have liked a taller back, but this one is just fine. I would definitely buy this again and recommend to anyone looking for a durable chair that requires a minimum of space.
