Can this stool really take 265 lbs as it claims?

My wife & I have used this regularly...we aren't 265...but over 200lbs...very solid & steady.

The stool is quite small to tuck into the shower corner which is what I wanted. It is very sturdy and I suspect it would carry the weight but the actual seat is very small so I guess it would depend how the weight is distributed. Honestly, I use mine to prop my legs up for shaving and scrubbing feet which it seems best suited for unless one has a small bottom. Hope this helps

In a word No. It won't support a 180 lb man -- it is wobbly and unstable. I bought it and returned it to the vendor for a refund (minus the significant shipping costs).

I'm 300lbs and it holds me just fine. However, the movers broke my table, so I have two stools for sale. ;)

This stool is rated to safely hold 200 pounds, my husband is under 250 and was not comfortable using it; so I purchased another rated at 400+. We did not have any failures or breaks; just an uneasiness with the stability of the product.

I weigh 265 and it easily accommodates me. I would guess that you will be fine!

I am not 100 percent sure. I had just repurchased this item for my mother, she had this same stool for about 8 years. It did not break till a family friend weighing about 280 got on it. So best guess would be 250. Hope this helps!

the scale is stable. it says it can go up to 440 lbs, so i would assume it could actually do it. but i've never tested it above even half that.

I don't know if there is a weight limit, but this stool is very sturdy. It is onthe heavy side to move but I feel safe on it. For me it doubles as a counter stool to sit on, and I would not worry to have a bigger person sit on it.

My husband is about 200 lbs. and the stools are holding up. That being said, I wouldn't go much over that on a regular basis.

This stool is rated for up to 300lbs and I weigh about 270 and I had to replace the "plastic" base 3 times due to cracking. After the 3rd time the seller & I agreed to a refund... Btw, the seller was very cooperative in resolving my issues....

Can't say for sure-no one over 180lbs had sat on ours. The frame is sturdy, possibly where the seat screws to the frame might not hold up under all circumstances.

Actually, yes! Surprisingly, I have used it as a seat/stool, with no problems supporting my 225 pounds ( wish I could say I weighed less).

The literature that we received with the stools did not detail the maximum capacity. I am about a 250 lbs. man and it is really solid when I sit on it.

First, we are very pleased with the stools! As I remember there is a solid bottom under the fabric. They are quite sturdy. Nobody in the house weighs more than 180 pounds, so I'm not sure of the exact weight limit. I wouldn't hesitate up to 200 pounds. Hope this helps!

Hi Charlotte. According to the information on the product page, it will support up to three hundred pounds. I have recycled the box so I don't know if there is a difference between what manufacturers say and what Amazon says. I have no reason to distrust Amazon. Now, if you're over that weight, I am not sure if it is a matter of the legs not supporting it or merely that the seat will no longer rotate. Either way, I think I would go for something more solid for safety's sake. I really do like the stool so I hope you will be able to use it, too! Good Luck,Lynda

Hi! I have not actually used the stool because I felt it was too heavy for my needs and I planned to return it. However, I did originally buy it because it looked sturdy and had a nice wide step. It appears to be well made and very sturdy.Sorry I am not of more help.
