Quick question — what weight capacity should an office chair have?

Chairs rated for 275–300 lbs are available in most product lines and are a good standard for office purchasing. Standard commercial office chairs are BIFMA-rated for 250 lbs. Heavy-duty big-and-tall chairs are rated for 350–500 lbs, feature wider seats (20"–22"), taller backs, and reinforced bases. For commercial offices, specifying a 300 lb minimum is a practical policy.
