£30 armchair in Asda, looks like ikea poang chair

Hi
My husband loves sitting in my friend's poang chair, and it is perfect for him, no problems.
Yesterday we was in Asda and purchased their imitation for a much lower price. Had no problems putting it together. It looked good, but no one has mentioned what happens if you sit in it, if you are a heavy weight !! No it did not break, but the bottom of the wooden arms went down to about 4 inches from the floor. Then my husband needed my assistance to pull him up out of it. The chair sprung back to the correct level, and I sat in it ok with no problems.
So we took it appart and packed it up and took it back to Asda.
