Is it true these chairs are rated for only 120 pounds? That would make them children's chairs as few adults are that light.

I can't comment on the chairs rating system, or how this value is assigned to the chairs. However, I do own a set of 4, and eat dinner each night at the dining room table. I've owned these for 10 months, without any issues other than regular tightening of the base to the legs. I am approximately 77 kilograms in mass, and have not noticed these chairs to show any signs of weakness structurally.

I haven't the slightest idea why people are saying these chairs are only weighted for 120 pounds. The insert/instructions clearly state that they are weighted up to 200lbs. I love these chairs and the price can't be beat.

I couldn't advise. I'm a grown adult around 120 pounds and the chairs are fine for occasional/casual use in a single person's home, but it may not work for heavy traffic (families, eat-in kitchen area). After a few months, I did notice the screws underneath get really loose and need re-tightening.

I agree with other comments. They are very sturdy rockers. Have had no weight restrictions. Great chairs.

Hi Cristy, That's a good question. To the best of my knowledge they have never been rated for weight load. I do know that they are used in commercial establishments and have not heard of any complaints. Bamboo is one of the hardest woods used for chairs. If I can be of more help please let me know.

I'm not sure of the weight limit of the chairs, but my husband is 250 lbs and they hold him just fine. I hope that helps! It's a great buy and they look great!

Im not certain what they say is the weight limit, however, I have a soon who weighs 220 and my husband weighs 250. These chairs good then just fine, no problems. I have a sister who weighs considerably more, and although they hold her, I wouldn't advise that on a continual basis. Hope this helps.

I have 4 of these chairs. They're not to heavy but they're not light either. I can move them fairly easily however. Assembly is very easy. They are very sturdy. I love them. Guessing they weigh maybe 8-10 pounds.

My fiance who is just under 120lbs and 23 years of age sat in these with my 4 year old niece. It held her just fine and I would say it could probably hold a little more. They are built strong. However, I wouldn't let anyone who is over 120 sit in them regularly. They are made for smaller children and not that large of a seat for older kids/ teenagers.

They are pretty sturdy chairs with a fair amount of weight. I will admit to having stood on mine before I bought a Step ladder. Climbing onto them to sit on is one thing...obviously no chair is great for kids to play around on. They definitely aren't flimsy.

I have had sturdier chairs before, be we are a retired couple so they do not get abused. They are just fine for us. Our heaviest weight on chair has be 230 lbs.

I believe this chair was designed for toddlers through possibly first grade (judging from the size.)I work with the children in our Sunday School twice a week and have sat on these chairs myself so that I can be at the child's level while working with them. I weigh 140 pounds and it has supported me without difficulty. We have been using these chairs for about 18 months and have been very happy with how well they have worked. They do not tip over easily and hold even my weight well.

Not sure as to an exact rating, but my neighbor is 300 lb. and these chairs support him fine. I might add, though, that it seems to be a bit of a squeeze for him to fit in the chair......but he does get in it! My nephew, a 265 lb. college footballer, fits in these chairs fine These weights are OK if the chairs are used normally; no rough house, no tipping, etc, as it seems that those actions might cause a problem. Hope this is helpful.

Depends on how big the adult is. The chairs are okay for kids and perhaps a petite adult. Fairly strong and durable.

I don't know the specific weight limit. However, they are much sturdier than other chairs that are rated 250lbs. they are built very well. hope this helps. I have had mine for two summers and they have been used a lot. still in good shape with no ripping. average user is about 200 lbs.

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

I wouldn't call them heavy duty and they do not fold. I don't know the weight limitation but we've been using the chairs for a year and had some heavy people on them and so far no one has crashed.

Chairs look fragile and delicate, in fact the construction and design is very durable. The heaviest person in our family is about 200 lb and the frame neither sinks, nor lowers down.We tried to seat my soon-to-be son-in-law and my daughter on his laps and chair endured both of them, no problem. As an option, you may want to get 4+2 chairs (for instance): four of these and two for in-laws.I hope it helps,Janna

I can't find a weight or max load for these chairs. I was over 550 pounds at the time I brought these chairs and I was hard on them, and the chairs have not bent or show any stress to the metal, or the wood seat. But I had to replace the foot caps on one of the chairs, it had wore away, the rest of the caps look great.
