Dining chair for a fatty?

chocky909

I need a dining chair that will support my weight which is about 21st (!) because the Ikea (Harry) one I just bought - the leg buckled after the dowling snapped. This may have been a manufacturing defect but I would like a very sturdy, strong chair for use at my dining table.

I'm looking for something comfortably cushioned for my fat bottom and needs to be less than 47cm wide so I can push it under the table. £40 - £60.

Not necessarily an industrial standard unit for use in public spaces but something with strong well made joints and braces.

Any ideas?

Come on! I'm sitting on the floor here surrounded by empty pizza boxes!

I went for one of these in the end, purely on looks given it's cross pieces should add strength.

[well i would if i could post links or pics]

£50 plus £10 postage. Hope it's OK!

Go to a real furniture shop, the sort that sells real wood chairs etc, even pine should do the job, but the way proper dining chairs are designed mens that that sort of weight is easy to support. It is difficult to recommend chairs when we don't know the shops you have around you. You may have to pay more than 40-60 but it would last you longer. As for cusioning, you may be better off getting loose cushions so they are easy to change, bless their souls they don't like getting crushed!
