One of the strongest chairs around is the Paradise Chair, If you have a 25 stone nephew that launches himself into a chair from 2 metres away, then the Paradise is the one. It’s also a chair that is great for sitting back contemplating the horizon with a drink in hand. It is a pretty laid-back comfortable chair. Big people often choose it for it’s strength, as well as it’s roominess. It will take a “generously proportioned behind”.
