Flash Furniture HERCULES Series Beige Patterned Fabric Crown Back Stacking Banquet Chair with Gold Frame - Perfect for Weddings, Banquets, and Conference Events

This chair is amazing! To fully understand how amazing, I’ll give you a little back story. My MIL is obese. And I’m not talking “could lose a few lbs” I’m talking “baby baluga ate a drowning cow.” The driver’s seat in her van is propped up by something in the second row because she broke the chair right off! Every single time she came over to my house for dinner she would literally break a chair. I had nice sturdy wooden chairs of a matching set and no joke this woman cracked the wood when she sat! Over the length of several years, she broke one chair after another until most of our chairs were unusable. Each time we had to put her in a new chair because if she were to sit in one of her already damaged chairs she would end up breaking it the rest of the way and falling to the floor. You guys, she can barely move her own lumpus butt, and I can’t fit the required fork lift equipment into my house, so she had to have a different chair each time. Otherwise we would have to have the fire department come to get her up off the floor. The last straw was when she came over and we couldn’t find any more chairs that she hadn’t damaged to the point that they wouldn’t hold her weight, so we used a brand new folding chair. Big mistake! She literally bent the metal leg! Husband later claimed that it was either defective or already broke. Nope. Nope it wasn’t. It was a lovely $80 hand selected folding chair that was part of a new set I just bought. This caused great strife between myself and my husband. How can I have this woman over if I have to sacrifice a chair to the crushing weight of her tank-style-behind EVERY TIME SHE CAME OVER!!! Out of desperation and frustration I googled “very sturdy dining chair”. The first thing that popped up said Hercules. “YES!” I thought. This chair is as strong as a demigod! Perhaps it can withstand the tonnage of the MIL! This chair arrived in two days and I was almost giddy to have over the moo moo baggage butt to try it out. I had it for two days before she came over and I fell in love with it. The chair was soft and comfortable and looked very sleek and nice in my dining room. I got the vinyl so I could wipe it down in case bulldozer booty couldn’t get up in time and peed my chair *shudder*. Surprisingly, the vinyl didn’t have that plastic feel to it at all. It was really comfortable. The day arrived that MIL was to come over and I actually started to lament the anticipated loss of this really nice chair. When she lowered herself onto it, I cried a little inside. But then something wonderful happened! It held! It didn’t squeak or crack or break or bend. It HELD!!! Oh praise baby Jesus! I have a chair that can hold her! It has now been months of MIL wear. This test is akin to dropping a boulder repeatedly and forcefully onto this chair and it shows not one sign of wear. Look no further if you have a serious weight problem and can’t find a chair to hold you. And if you have a mother in law from hippopotamus hell, THIS is the chair for you! I plan to get an entire set of these chairs (to replace my completely broken wooden set). I bought the navy blue vinyl and couldn’t be more pleased.Update: Moomoo bought 4 of her own chairs for her house too. Haha!
