Am I too fat for this? (No memes please) Amerifat I know

I weigh I think over the recommended weight for the Markus. I'm maybe 270 but my weight is distributed all over. I'm what you say thick or burly. I do have some chub but I'm not round. You think I could make this thing work?

lol fatty

So the weight is downward weight noy overall, removing your lower leg weight is what affecte it

How about this: instead of spending money on that chair you buy a gym membership, fatso.

If you have to ask you are

So everything above the waist. got it. I think I would be in the range. Thanks for actually replying, bud. I got big legs and I think that would even things out. I'm going to IKEA anyway to test it out. Just wanted to make sure for long use. Maybe someone else here who has the chair and is the same size as me would be able to answer with experience. Should I watch for anything when I'm sitting in it? Any sound or something to give away that it won't last?

Holy shit this is something fat people actually have to consider lol

I am fatter than you are and it is comfy dont worry.

>when you can't even do something as simple as buying a new chair you want without discussing if your weight will be an issue

Damn..

>my weight is distributed all over. I'm what you say thick or burly. I do have some chub but I'm not round

The Eternal American, everyone

The issue isn't the static pressure that you exert on the chair. This isn't a fucking exercise in strength of materials 101 where they've just added giant safety margins. The issue is that each piece is created with a certain stress tolerance, and when you do things that a regular person does when using the chair, such as lean back on it, roll it on the floor, change the height of it, you expose those parts to more stress than they are constructed to handle. Each time you sit down on the chair you risk slightly damaging it or completely breaking the construction, and each time you lean back you risk breaking another part. The chair is unlikely to break from you just sitting still on the chair, but when you do things that an average person does using it. IKEA has done testing on the chair and they can afford to promise (provide compensation in cases where it doesn't hold or causes harm) that it holds up to a certain weight (for a certain time). The closer you are to that limit, and the more you use the chair, the shorter it will last. And this isn't linear, once you cross that limit, the probability for failure is going to increase dramatically, to the point where it reaches almost certainty that it will break when a morbidly obese person sits on it.

lose weight fatso
stop being a fat fucking slob

Okay thanks. Honestly maybe this thread was pointless. I guess people got to vent their frustrations or project so at least I did some good for the world. I'm just gonna check to when I get there whether I like it or not.

i'm not fat but that is my chair OP
it's super comfy
i have a shitty back though, so i have to take car to sit properly (you can lean waaayy back, but sitting like that for a long time is shit for your back)

i dont know why being fat would make a difference sitting on the chair

My omegle daddies really love how I look sitting naked on that comfy chair.

Longevity mostly. If I'm spending 200 dolans I don't want something that will break down within a year. I use my computer maybe 6-7 hours a day, a bit more on weekends so I don't want to kill the thing.

My chair was 50 dollars at walmart

I have two of those chairs.

Just don't install the arm rests.
Will also make it fit under a desk much easier.

Whats wrong with the arm rests?

i've had it for about a year now i think, still works fine
doesn't squeak either, like the previous chair i got from ikea

this is good advice. i still have them on but they're super low and i barely use them
the amount of times i got one of my fingers stuck in between my desk and arm rests while sliding my chair under the desk
one of these days i'm losing a finger in the most retarded way possible

>almost 300lbs

holy shit you gotta lose that fat mcfatty fattington

that answers
thanks

i have this chair, it is comfy even thou i am fat. just remove arm-rests.
Don`t know if it can handle 270 kilograms thou

not any of them, but you seem like a good guy user, good luck on your chair hunt

thanks man, have a good day.
not kg, lbs. 122kg if thats the metric you use.

>Whats wrong with the arm rests?

They just aren't height adjustable so you need a low chair position or a tall desk for them to fit.

Nobody calls 270 'thick' or 'burly' you fat fuck.

If you are under 6 feet tall, you are morbidly obese. Seek help.

LOSE
WEIGHT
Just buy a cheap chair for now, you'll probably break it anyway.

>burgers actually have to consider their weight to buy a fucking chair

jesus fucking christ

When I was a kid I broke an office chair just from leaning back, I was about 100 kg and the chair legs were hard plastic.

I use this chair, it's comfortable, my only complaint is when sitting upright, I'm about 1" from feet flat on floor, when reclined, it's like 6"

I weigh 210 and am 5'10 btw

I have the same chair and I'm 300, you should be fine. I've had it for several years.

I hate fat people.

...

I've got the same chair and it's super comfy. Get the dark grey fabric instead of the faux leather though

I've got the same chair OP and I'm 1000 pounds. Sat in it once and it shattered instantly, and then collapsed into a singularity.

Do not buy a chair based on the reviews, it's a piece of furniture not a smartphone.

You are truly unique OP, there is no one like you.

Body height and length of legs/back differ between people, some might find a chair comfortable others not.

Go try it out in the store before you make your decision.
