why is the weight limit 40 lbs? other items of similar build (http://goo.gl/bESOO9) say up to 200, what is the difference?

Not sure, I have 10 pots hanging, 2 strainers all my utensils splatter screen brushes of all sorts and a platter on the top shelf as well as a cake saver. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I hang mine over the sink. Most things drip dry leaving more room in my dish strainer for dishes. I love this. I do see one that looks the same that is cheaper but I can't tell you for sure if it's the same product...looks the same though. I can tell you this one is worth every penny you might spend whatever the cost.

Honestly, not sure. Maybe the hardware that comes with it. It's very sturdy, but the chains that come in the package are not. We replaced ours with ones from Tractor Supply.

I would imagine that the attachment to the ceiling may be the culprit. I installed some 2X4's with steel angel brackets to the ceiling joist in the attic, then put in bigger hooks into the 2X4's for the chains. I have 6 cast iron skillets that hang with all the other pots and pans as well. (Over 100 lbs.)

My guess would be the strength of the chains. We replaced ours since we have 10 foot ceilings and the chains were way too short!

i did use the ones that came with it, they were plenty strong for what we needed, and the length was just right. we used all the hooks and bought a pack of extra hooks and used all of them too.

Might be the ceiling hooks or chain strength, I anchored ours to the ceiling between the joists to center it on our windows using 4 ceiling hooks that will hold 50 lbs each. It looks good and I know my wife has about 100 lbs hanging or laying on it.

I didn't see any weight limit from this chair, but as fragile as it looks, it's actually quite sturdy. I bought this for my daughter, but it would be fine for adults under (I would say 200 lbs)... That's just my guess. Would I buy this for a larger man? No

Sorry not sure on either questions,however as for the weight limit it must be a lot as I'm no lightweight and it holds me.

The manufacturer's website states 48.5 lbs for a max weight. Doesn't mention a height limit that I can find.

I don't recall seeing anything about weight limitations. I weigh 180 lbs and found no problem with it.

I'm not sure what the actual weight limit is, but I can assure you, I weighed 315lbs when I first got this product, I am down to 225 now and it held me at my heaviest. Make sure you use a level when setting it up. It's never fallen on me or budged. I set it up n take it down all the time. Sometimes it's hard to turn the Allen key, just need to add a pin drop of wd40 or or a type of lube to it and it turns and tightens with ease. I love this thing! Lol

According to the posted reviews and answers,200lbs is too much. Other similar stands say approximately 80 to maybe 100.

I weigh about 230 and it works just fine. Other than that, I don't know if ther is any stated limit.

Saw a video with a Solstice rep. He stated the weight limit is 275. I can neither confirm nor deny the performance at that weight though.

I have not put more than 40lb on it. Is well built with very good rubber tires. I would suspect over 100lb from the look of it. Maybe more. I have been very happy with the quality.

weight limit is stated as 400 lbs, but I'm 460 and it is holding up very well for me.

Not sure of the exact limit. But this weekend we had roughly 350 pounds on mine with no problems.

The end user in our situation weighs 155 lbs and there have been no issues to date. I tossed the packaging, which may have listed a maximum weight limit. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

I don't know the limit but can tell you it handles 200 pounds with no problem.

i am not aware of a weight limit. i'd call the manufacturer if it's an issue.

It tells you that the limit is 230 pounds. I have jumped with my daughter at the same time. I weigh 185 and she about 45 pounds. We have a great time together on it but I would not want to exceed that as I find it is very capable of handling our weight but want it to laser.

Not sure what the weight limits are, but it may be a bit heavy. My son is 70# and its perfect for him. My other son is 46#, and not heavy enough to really use it properly
