It is rated to 550lbs. The max weight we have had in it has been about 400lbs, which it handled with no problem.

If I remember right, it's 300 pounds. When you go to the page for the specific product you can find the statistics, but they are way down under reviews and such. Generally that's where you find weight restrictions, measurements, and stuff. I'm over 250lbs and have no problems with it. It gives me a good low impact workout. I suffer from multiple health issues and meds that made me gain weight. This ball is the most active exercise that I've been able to do. It's also good for leg lifts and upper body exercises. I don't know what it is about simply having and object that helps me feel like I'm exercising or makes it more enjoyable. I hope that helps. It's more information than you asked for.

You might want to send an email to the seller through Amazon. The ball I got was extremely sturdy.

Probably depends what you are using it for. For a 5'2" person having it against a wall for balance exercises, the 45 cm ball is perfect. The physical therapist recommended a 45 cm ball, and it was difficult to find -- the large chain sports stores didn't have this small ball. And it's held up well after a year of use.

I don't know thr weight capacity. You would need to check with the manufacturer I have a 10" tablet mounted on it with no problems. The adhesive on the ball is very strong

Not sure, I bought it for my son. But I'm 5'2" and 120 pounds and it was light enough for me to handle without a problem.

I believe it is the same ball as their other chairs (52 cm) and the weight limit on those say 300 lbs. http://www.amazon.com/Sivan-Health-Fitness-Balance-Chair/dp/B009RMAEZI/ref=pd_sbs_sg_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=1NFY5FBC3TS431HDXJ22

The weight limit for most stability balls is 250 lbs., although models capable of supporting weights of up to 300 lbs. are not uncommon. Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/380861-weight-limits-for-stability-balls/#ixzz2VDAmLq6f

I have not weighed it but the ball is probably about 3.5 or 4 lbs. It's heavy enough to knock the pins over but light enough for a kid to handle it fairly easily. The pins are weighted with sand and slightly underweight in my opinion but it would be pretty easy to add a little extra sand. There's a little hole with a small plug so it would be easy to do. The problem with the pin weight is that it is difficult to get them to stand up in grass. Our solution was to pound a little indention in the ground for each pin but adding weight would probably be better I just haven't done it yet.

my daughter filled the base with water They use a lighter ball than a regular basketball. The weight is in the back. They love it.. You can also fill the base with sand if you prefer

It is light weight. I don't think it could handle the weight of a soccer ball or football. It is top of the line for baseball.

Well, the cover is specially designed for the 55cm balance ball, my chair came with a 52cm balance ball, but they are tough and you might possibly be able to blow up the 52cm ball a few more cm... i wouldn't know for sure because i use mine in my pottery studio where it needs to be able to be hosed off because of all of the clay. you could give it a try....I make no promises because i dont use a cover myself.

mine is pretty well made and doing great with my 32", but I am not sure if it would hold the 55". Sorry

No I don't recall but the ball arrives defalted so it could be much weight at all.

I have a medium sized ball. I have a partner who is 250 at the most and I have found that the ball is not big enough or resistant enough for a larger, heavier person wishing to use it as it is advertised.

Much bouncier than a round one, but obviously not gym/training quality. I think 750lb max
