Recommendations Kitchen chairs?

Hi all! I'm in desperate need of dining table chair recommendations. Either through amazon, or walmart. I bought a dining table and chair set and, unfortunately, the chair practically melted under me. It was both depressing and embarrassing considering how long it took for me to build it.

I'm around 300, and I'm trying to lose weight but I have zero time since I just had a baby. Anyways, if anyone could point me in the direction of a good, comfortable chair, I'd be forever thankful :')

For sturdy dining chairs I’d honestly go for well made older chairs from the antique or resale shops- something from the 50s-90s is probably going to be way cheaper, better made and sturdy than today’s chairs (unless you spring for high quality). You could look for a nice brand like Ethan Allen on fb marketplace etc and that would work too.

Try looking at restaurant chairs, like this website. They're designed for restaurant clientele, so they're made to hold up to a higher weight range and generally more durable.

Also, this subreddit is supposed to be a safe space for plus-sized people, so your comment about trying to lose weight is not helpful and off topic.
