has anybody purchased this chair for use by a person over 450 lbs? I know it is advertised for 800 lbs, but would hate for anybody to get hurt

I would not advise it. I used it daily, it seemed fine for awhile but in under a year it collapsed. I weigh just under 180 pounds.

I weigh 190 lbs and have no problem. We have had guests that were about 250 lbs that used it with no problem either. The frame seems very sturdy even though the covering is rather cheap. But, the chair is comfortable and I certainly enjoy it.

The chair says 250 but my self I'm 280 and I have no problems with the chair. My wife is 350 and she has no problems with her chair which is the same chair either. Hope this help. Love our chairs.

good question as i was just pondering that this past wkend. instructions don't really state that i recall, i would put a weight limit of say 2 adults, perhpas 400 lbs? chair looks very sturdy though and should have no problem supporting even a few more lbs than 400!

This is a very wide chair, however I do not know if it is rated for that kind of weight. Also I am not sure it would be comfortable for someone of that size. I weigh 330 pds and I would not want to sit in that chair for any length of time. The seat is narrow once you sit in it and the canvas seat contracts from the weight. I was recently in the hospital and they have chairs for heavy set people. I might try to ask your local hospital or your health insurance if they can help point you to a vendor. Another option is a used jazzy chair I bought one and it fits fine and you don,t have to push.

It is a very sturdy chair. I have seen someone close to that weight regularly use the chair, butI am not sure if it would work for you.

The weight limit is 450 pounds. I've been sitting in it, 8 hours a day, for a month, and it shows no signs of use. I weigh 300 pounds and this is the BEST chair I've ever sat in.

I do not know what the manufacture specifies, however, I weigh 245 and have had no problems with the chair. Use it for as much as 6 hours daily..

My husband is 337 and has no issues using this chair. He is confined to wheelchair so it is used all the time and we've had no problems, have replaced the armrest pads but very good customer service.

Weight limit is 450lbs for the chair and while life expectancy hours are not listed for this product, my butt probably puts about 30-40 hours a week of usage on it and I have ZERO issues with it so far

I would not recommend for that weight, iam just 200 and I feel I am about at the limit. nice chair for the money. mine replaced an electric lift and I wore that out with to much up and down (my feelings) I as satisfied..........

Pretty sturdy chair...I've had customers who probably weight in the mid to upper 200 lb range use them with no problem. I use them for older heavier customers who can't get up off my sofa

I never could. The chair is also rated for 400lbs, but the chair bottomed out after 3 weeks. I weigh 330. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

No problem with mine, but the seat is not used often. I can't remember the weight limit, but I only weigh 170 lbs.

The reason I bought this chair was because it is heavy weight and wouldn't break. I had one break on me and I didn't want that to happen again. It's made of wrought iron. I think it could support a quite heavy person WELL over 200 pounds with no problem at all. I weigh 200 and it works fine and I have no worry that it would collapse on me.
