I read on the chart that it has a 200lb weight limit. I'm a tad over that and like to use extra weight with twists. Is that too much for this bench?

I'd go for a better bench. This is good. But it kinda is just for someone under that. And for someone under 5'8".

my best answer is maybe. The big problem with this bench is the size, I use and stepper to give more inclination.

Well, there was no weight limit on the paper work. It is however a well made bench, and is capable of holding my hubby and 2 children, so we looking at close to 400.

I submitted an answer previously indicating that I did not know the weight restriction. I can sayhowever that it is a sturdy and well made bench. I would guess that it could support up to 225 to250 pounds.

I don't know the manufacturers weight limit but I am satisfied with the quality and sturdiness of the bench. I would say it easily will hold someone 200-225 lbs.

I asked this same question and I got several answers from "I don't Know" to 200lbs to 450lbs. Well I can tell you I would not put more than 250 on them and no more than 2 people. I got rid of them because I was not confortable with the safety.. for decoration or table a great idea.. fundamentally as a bench...not so much

It seems pretty substantial to me and I've had no problems with it and I'm close to 200 lbs. I guess it all depends on how heavy you're talking about and whether or not the person will be seated squarely on the seat or only on a portion of it causing unreasonable torquing.

My husband and I sit on it for a total of over 400 lbs. It's a sturdy bench, but of course, I can't promise that the concentrated weight of one person over 500 pounds would be safe. However, in assembling it, I noticed that the weight of the seat is resting ON the legs. It is not just screwed TO the legs, so you're not depending on the strength of screws to hold the weight. I would give it a try.

Mary,Weight isn't an issue here as the bench is an inferior product. Don't buy it! Our original one came with 2 broken parts then a subsequent bench arrived with the SAME broken parts! Find a better one!

I can't find a reference in the literature or online, but I'm 200 lbs. and it seems plenty sturdy for me. Maybe you could contact the manufacturer.

We haven't had a problem. I do legs on the bench all the time. Just note this bench has a weight limit of 300lbs.. I learned that when I went to purchase a weight set from Modells. If you lift more then 300 lbs this isn't the bench for you. You are limited with how many plates you can put on for leg work outs! This is great as a starter bench. Let me know if you have anymore questions! :)

It all depends on what your doing. The lower the center of gravity the higher the weight you can use. It's gets a little tipsy with sitting shoulder press but everything else seems fine. If you read the reviews i think someone claimed to put 400 or 600 lbs for a bench press. I don't see why it would be a problem unless the bar starts bowing.

It doesn't have a problem with 200 lbs. I'm sure there's something in the literature, but I don't recall for sure. Hope that help.

It lists the max as 200 pounds, @ 220 lbs it didn't work well for me, I believe best results will occur at and below 180lbs

The bench is comfortable for two adults. I am guessing but I think it would hold up to 600 pounds. It is made out of rubber wood. Check robber wood out on the internet.

I weight 170lb and have no problem. I think that even up to 200 may be ok. May need to tighten up the slack though.

I agree with the various opinions of people who own it. I wouldn't let anyone over 200 lbs use it. It's sturdy, but the seat snapped onto the frame might break. If it's on ceramic tile, it can also shift with leaning on it. Overall, I am VERY satisfied with it.

Idon't know the maximum it can hold. I weigh 200 pounds and it shows no signs of strain.
