The DHP (Doren Home Products) website lists this item as having a 200 lb weight limit.

yes. We sit on ours. my daughter is about 195. 6 feet tall. I would jump on it but it will support you.

Yeah I would say you could. I'm 160 and its fine. The only problem I could think is that if you sit on it, there is no support to hold the weight. Just the fabric. There is a bar in the middle that would work fine to hold you. But if your only sitting on it a few Times a month then yeah you should be fine.

Jordan J. - Yes you can do sit-ups on this bench once you TOTALLY assemble it. Upon receipt of this "bench" I was surprised and disappointed to find it was a KIT which required total assembly with over fifty (50) pieces of hardware.

I bought this bench without noticing the weight capacity. I weigh about 180. I used 80lbs dumbells while benching and it held up but when I switched up and used 60lbs dumbbell to do incline the bench snapped :(. I should have paid attention to the weight limit (my own stupidity). Only used the bench 1 time. I am 6 feet tall and it was a little small in size but usable. Be careful if you are using weights over 50lbs in each hand or buy another bench (like a couple of other users have recommended).

I used it as an alternative seating bench while watching tv this Christmas. I'm certain it can hold 2 people over 130 lbs very well. It isn't high enough for table seating though.

I'm sure that would be no problem. I weigh 210 and it is as sturdy as can be for me even when I've got another 150 lb of weight I'm holding. It's definitely a solid bench.

I'm not exactly sure about that. However, just from my experience - I am about 220 pounds and it hasn't broken on me yet, but it does seem to complain a bit when I'm shifting around. It's a nice bench, but if I could afford a nicer bench, I think I would go for a bit better one. However, this one fills the bill for now. Hope this helps some.

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

That depends what you define as "tall" and what you intend to use it for. I am pretty short (5'5") and I would say the bench is pretty small and not really well built. I got this as a beginner bench. If I were to do it again I would invest in something sturdier. I suggest you go to a sporting good store or fitness center and look at benches, bring a tape measure and write down what you want. Then go on amazon and buy something with your specs in mind. This is a good bench for someone who is not heavy and not tall.

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..........

You could use it as seat cushion, but eventually it will spring a leak, I've bought 5 different lumbar inflatables and they've only lasted between I week - 2 months. it's meant to support the weight of a persons lumbar back, for example, when they are reclining in chair, so it should be able to be sat on. Problem is leaking regardless how used.

I'm close to 200 pounds and there's no problem using this chair. If you are close to 300 pounds it may not work well for you.

It would not be a sufficient seat. Definitely too flimsy to trust it to hold a person's weight. Useful if you're looking for an inexpensive small table for an outdoor setting (i.e. balcony).

honestly, i wouldn't do it. now, manufacturers always state a weight capacity, but somehow, it's not always true. sometimes it can handle a little more and sometimes a bit less. I purchased this item and i think you could, but i dont think it will last long. i suggest you could but as a temporary thing, not long term.

I wouldn't advise using this particular seat for that purpose. It's a great seat for many things, but it would be too unstable and not safe. This seat needs a flat surface to sit on and to be able to attach the hooks that helps hold it in place.

Don't know why not. It sits on the center of a bench or 60/40 seat. I secure mine with a couple bungee cords so I can move it when we ride 3 in the front. I have had mine for almost a year and, though it is not as nice as a built-in, it works OK for me.

I found that the product statement said 250 lbs and it feels like 200 lbs. would be fine. This seat is fine for a quick sitting place but for long times may not be very comfortable.

The seat is height adjustable, so I don't think your height will be an issue. I believe it is rated for up to 300lbs. Initially, the seat my be uncomfortable but, DON'T go out and get a new/padded one. It may take a few months of consistent riding, but it WILL break in and be very comfortable.
