I am 6' tall, 240 lbs, and 13.5% body fat. So I have a very dense individual that has crushed the cheap $20 chairs that you find on sale out there. While this chair is a bit on the expensive side it has held up extremely well across tailgating at the last 3 games. That is a lot of me sitting down and getting which has destroyed other chairs. This chair doesn't even strain. If you are the bigger side, I definitely recommend spending the few extra dollars to getting a sturdy chair that will last. Go Chiefs!!
