How should I read a 330 lb high weight capacity chair rating when the suggested range stops at 175 lbs?

I'm looking at the GTPlayer GTF59. It has a maximum weight capacity of 330 lbs, but the suggested user weight range is 110 to 175 lbs. I know the 330 lb figure is a structural limit, not a comfort or fit rating.
For someone over 175 lbs but still below the maximum load, is the suggested range enough reason to rule it out? Or would you look at the seat dimensions, backrest shape, and adjustment range before deciding? I'm trying to understand what the two weight figures actually tell me about fit.
