Chairs I Have Destroyed, a set on Flickr.
Chairs are the bane of my existence. I destroy them all the time, due to my immense size and weight (2m/6'7" tall, 175 kg/385#). It happens often enough that I can actually create a regular feature on the phenomenon.
2013.07.15 - Here's the 500# Hercules folding chair that collapsed under my weight yesterday, after 5 days of continuous use. (Next to the broken chair in the picture is the 2nd Hercules chair I purchased at the same time, still intact.)
The support bar just gave out and bent 90 degrees. After 5 days of use.
My weight at the time of the collapse was 385#.
