I bought this chair for my son, who is 6'5 and weighs 290-300 lbs. He loves it, and sits in it regularly. He doesn't work from his computer, the longest he has sat in it is probably 2-3 hours. The piston is working well, unlike any of the other chairs he has had in the past. I sat in it for a short while, I'm 5'9 and 240 lbs, it fit me very well. We have had this chair since Christmas 2013, so it has been almost 8 months.

I weigh 310 lbs and had no problems with the chair. It's very comfortable and I am glad I bought it. I just wish the back was a little higher because I am 6' 5".

I too weigh 240 and spend 8 hours a day in this chair. I have had it for 10 months, best chair I have ever owned.

You won't have a problem. I've had this chair for 8 months and have no complaints. Very comfortable chair.

I no longer have the instructions, but as I recall they said 200 pounds. You should know that I weigh 205 and the chair piston will not support my weight - straight to the bottom. It (mine at least) is better for kids.

I actually exceed the 350 limit for this chair. I am 6'6", 375lbs. I used this chair with no problems at all for 2 years. After 2 years, the lift started doing that slow sinking as you sit in it. It will no longer stay lifted for me - but 2 years at over the weight capacity for this chair, I say that is a pretty good chair.

Well, I've weighed as much as 280 since I've had the chair, and it hasn't broke on me. I'm sure it'll support at least 300, but it does creak some when I sit in it.

You shouldn't need that much force. I am a 60 yr. old woman and can't left over 35 lbs. I didn't have any problems. The only thing I can suggest is trying to reverse which wheel you put on the end of the shaft. If all else fails reread the directions. I know sometimes I miss something.

I've had mine for 3 months and three springs have broken. I use it every day for 30 minutes, but am way under the weight limit (I'm 145 lbs).

I was at 300lbs when I started using it about a year ago, and I use it for several hours daily (started at about 2, but now up to 6 hours some days) and have no problems with it.

Well, you are not alone. I completely missed that wt limit also, if it was there. None of my friends can use it. One friend who is 145lb could not really make it work. We ended up doing some redneck engineering with some boat bumpers and can sit on it, but not stand. I am going to save for my neices and nephews, but all of my crew is too heavy.

FROM HIGH TO SUPERSONICHave you talked to the seller? Sounds like it's defective....Just send it back. I bought one for my wife, but returned it. Even on the lowest setting the vibration was too drastic for her; so I tried it. Lets just say I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 275 lbs, and it was uncomfortable for me. Who knows, if you get it to work it may be just right for you.

I'm 240 pounds, and I've had no problems. It's a very heavy duty bike, and when you actually pick it up, you'll have the proof in your hands. As far as holding your weight, no problem, even on bumpy roads. There is one problem I've discovered, and that is you'll get spoiled when you use the power assist, and it will seem harder than usual to pump it when you don't use it. I only use power assist on tough hills, otherwise I just downshift to a lower gear_depending on the terrain. Good Luck.

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.

660Lbs. My advice is to save up and buy one for a little more money. Accuracy and sensitivity isn't great. Balancing even on level hardwood floors isn't very good(one leg has to be almost all the way out while the other 3 are scattered at all different levels and ends up unlevel just to keep it solid on the floor).Also buy the time you weigh 200 Lbs or so it's off by 3 Lbs. If I had it to do over I wouldn't purchase it.First one shipped the control didn't work either.They did send one that worked but the rest of it isn't great. Also the tare section(very handy if you are weighing someone in a chair has no memory so you have to re-weigh the chair every time the unit is turned off.Basicly useless function. Hope this helps?

I weigh in the 240-250 lb range & it supports me comfortably. It has a wide base that keeps it pretty sturdy, I love it & use it regularly.

I weigh 240 and haven't noticed any sign of it breaking. On a scale of 10 I give it a 9 for durability.

Oh on their website it's says safely supports up to 125 pounds. Says not for kids under 3 but we get it for my 2 year old and she loves it. Best money I ever spent!

Don't remember but it definitely supports the wt of an adult. My adult son and I use it with no problems. We are both overweight.
