I've lost over 100lbs recently, but I bought these chairs when I weighed 435lbs and they held me just fine without making me worried.At 435lbs you can only imagine how many chairs I've broken in my day...and that's a pretty awful feeling. When I heard that we were having a huge company meeting and I saw the cheap chairs that my company bought for all of us to sit in for 8 hours straight 2 consecutive days in a row I knew they would never hold me and I really didn't want to break a chair in front of my entire company during the biggest meetings of the year. I looked at a bunch of different options and these chairs had the best reviews so I took a shot with them.They are absolutely wonderful! I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still a metal fold-out chair so it's not like it's the definition of comfort or anything, but they aren't any less comfortable than any other fold-out chair I've ever tried either. When a strong and sturdy fold-out chair is what you're looking for, you don't need to look any further than here, these are the chairs that you're looking for!I didn't really need 4 of them, but I keep one at work just in case I get called into a meeting and need a sturdy chair, I keep another in my workshop for mobile seating wherever I'm working, and the other two are just spares at the house in case we ever need more seating. I didn't need four but I'm happy to have all of them!
