As you can see in the picture, the legs splay out. Excess weight might cause the legs to bend/splay further. It appears to be a sturdy bench, but there was a bit of give when a 225 lb. person stood in one spot on the bench. I'd be reluctant to recommend.

This bench is beautiful. I think it would be all right for someone very heavy. I put a bench pad on it to make it more comfortable.

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.

No, I don't think it would last. Besides being uncomfortable to sit on. Keep looking for other benches.

I don't think weight would be an issue. It is based on your height. I weigh 190 and I've cruised around on it just to test it out, and it holds up fine.

I weigh 310 lbs and had no problems with the chair. It's very comfortable and I am glad I bought it. I just wish the back was a little higher because I am 6' 5".

I'll put it to you this way, it says 250 lb's but I weigh 350 and it has no problem at all with me. Now that is this model (the one that I have). I am not sure about the other models or other brands though I have heard that other brands are no match for this one. I would not be worried about hanging 450 lb's on this one, it is stout!

Very! However, I am of slight build. I am not sure how sturdy it would be for a larger person. I am pleased with the quality. This is my second purchase.

My friend is 250 pounds and we have no problems. Back support has no issues either. I did find that every year I need to check the screws below the seat. They loosen after heavy use.

I have had mine for about six months and it has held up well under daily use. Seems to be the same as when I bought it. I am a large person also.

When I first got mine I weighed 300# and I have never had a problem with it holding up,, I have had it a little of 6 months now. Works great!

I don't know what the actual weight is; but by your question, perhaps you're wanting to see how much weight is if for you? Buy a shoulder strap if you've a great deal to do; preferably a padded one. The unit is not 'light' after a while and the shoulder harness/strap will come in quite handy. I anticipated the weight after a while and purchased one with the unit. Being 58 and the shoulders aren't that great anymore, the harness will help immensely. Cheers.

Definitely! My husband is 275. I'm right at 200. And we have had ours for some time. With lots of gymnastics. And it's still holding up with no problem.

I haven't read the product information. The person who has used it for months is about 250 lbs. No problems.

Well, I weigh 191 Lbs and it holds me fine. It has also lasted about 1+ yrs and it has been in the sun a lot. I will say that the drink holders are a little awkward when getting in and out but then I am a big girl! Hope this helps.

Yes, for adults too. I'm 5'8" and ride daily. Believe it goes up to 180 or 200 lbs.

I have no complaints about this chair at all. I love this chair and being a plus size person of 300+ pounds I feel very secure in this chair. I would recommend it. If I had to say anything bad it would be that you do have to use your arms to get out of the chair because you rest so comfortable back in it. I would give it five stars though on the five star scale.

It was either 200 or 250 lbs. Should be on seller info. If anyone was over 250 lbs., I'd research under "bariatric chairs." I think bariatric chairs go up to 500-ish lbs.

Not sure, it's worked well for us, but I'm like 130 and my husband is 160. I bet it would for an occasional canoe trip. It's not an expensive seat, so it'll prob last a little while.

Hello Phillip: I am 300 pounds unfortunately, and it is still a great task chair for me. It holds me up well and it is very comfortable for that small of the back that gets tensed up when sitting too long. I use it at home and have to toss my cat out of it in order to get my turn. I think that I can hold more than my weight. The seat bottom still has room for me. I hope this helps....
