Im 56, 250 and I really enjoy this chair.
The swinging sensation is so viscerally pleasing. I like how it also swings side to side and the net/style backing offers a very wide panorama of view (perfect for my view property). Theyre rated for outdoors but Im using indoors.
They do start to creak a few weeks after construction so, on the 2nd one, I used WD/40 on every single (not that theres a lot, but on all of them) screw and connecting metal beam. I suspect the most (and possibly only) impt location is actually where the waist/high, vertical pole attaches to the overhead vertical pole.
It is easy enough to assemble deconstruct that it shouldnt be too laborious to re/oil after construction, altho Im hoping the WD/40 lasts a year or longer.
The color and casual outdoor style were good for my application, as well.
Its comfortable, although best with a footrest and then pushing it around like a swing. (Because Im obese, sitting sideways, curled up in it isnt an option but given how thatd mean leaning ones back against the metal bars plastic straps, instead of the cushion, Id read other reviews to see if slim people said that was comfortable or not.)
The bottom bar does NOT cut into my thick thighs its not at all uncomfortable, with or without footrest, and I had worried about that (needlessly).
Also, because the egg shape is wider in the middle, I do not feel cramped inside (unlike an airplane seat).
