I am a big guy and have broken chairs before. I finally said it was time to spend a bit more and get something rated for me. This chair is very comfortable and I feel very secure in it's ability to hold me.
This chair is awesome. Took me about 45 minutes to put together. Very comfortable. I've had it going on 6 months now and am pleased. I can see the leather covering not holding up over time but we will see. I'm 6'1" 310 lbs. and the chair is a good size for me. If you're a big man looking for a chair with lots of room and that can hold your weight look no further. A bunch of my friends worked at Staples in high school and college and there are few things Staples does really well - one of them being chairs. Good job Staples and please don't race to the bottom in quality. Keep good quality chairs like this available.
