What's the most durable patio chair for heavier users?

Heavy-duty oversized chairs with steel frames and 400-to-500 lb capacities draw the strongest durability praise. Specialist community threads on r/camping and r/bigandtall single out reinforced frames and hard armrests as the features that hold up, while warning that some cheaper zero-gravity models have had metal parts fail within a year. Check the stated weight rating and look for hard (not soft, sagging) armrests for easier sit-down and stand-up.
