Our larger students who can not easily sit in a normal chair find this to be a wonderful alternative. It can support their weight as well as be a comfy place for them to rest. The colors work really well with our color scheme too. We love the design and the durability of this chair. I wish to have a few more, but sometime in the future. Right now though it is a wonderful boon to our classroom. How did we ever get along without it.
