What office chair is appropriate for users over 250 lbs?

For users over 250 lbs, look for chairs specifically rated at 300–400 lb capacity with BIFMA certification at that weight — standard chairs rated for 250 lb will show accelerated wear at the mechanism and cylinder when used at or near their limit. Big-and-tall chairs also typically have wider seats (20"–24") and higher weight-rated five-star bases. The chair must fit the body as well as support the weight — seat width and depth matter as much as the weight rating for comfort.
