Thanks for the heads up on the chair company. We're going to look into them. And at the risk of being critical of your post. I had to read it twice slowly. You said "Anyways, after about 4 months, one of the chairs had a part break on it (and it was my wife's chair who weighs A LOT less then I do), and also, the ends of the feet came off after sinking into some soft earth." I think it would of been prudent to also capitalized the word LESS (after A LOT). And maybe even underline A LOTA LOT. Just thinking of your well being.
Thanks again for the chair info."
OK, Your point is well taken. Perhaps I should have said, "who, light as a feather, did not even remotely approach the weight limit of the chair." :)
