How sturdy is it, I am heavy set, but it says 330lbs.I more worried about the back and forth sturdiness. Any and all help appreciated!

I find it to be very sturdy, but I am confused about the "back and forth" concerns you have... sidewise back and forth? I think it could handle it. Front to back back and forth...? it's only about 20 inches wide on the bottom floor support bars, so if you were rockin' and reelin' on it, it would probably tip over. I mean.... it's just a keyboard bench, not a full blown grand piano stool. All in all, though... it's good solid steel, adjust heights easily (and of course the lower to the floor the more stable it would be). I'm 140 lb and have it set pretty high cuz I have long legs... and it's never given me a sense of instability. In fact, the stand the keyboard sits on is way less stable.

Had no issues with the bench tipping or sliding about. It stayed in place on various floor services, including hardwood, linoleum, and carpet.

I'm 305 and have only sat on it once since it was a gift for my much smaller cousin. It seems sturdy with a decent footprint so it's stable.

I weigh 215 lbs, and it is quite sturdy and steady. I found that it was a bit difficult to get the pegs to settle in - the last one always seemed to be hard to click in. So once I got it set up correctly, I just leave it rather than take it apart and put it back together. Since then, it has worked well for me.

I play guitar, (and weigh 300) and rock side to side a lot when I play. I use the highest setting. I don't tend to go back and forth that much, but it feels solid in all 4 directions, after being used over a dozen times on stage. Down the road it may loosen up, but not so far. (The little rubber feet need to be glued on though, they 'walk' off every time I pack it away with other gear). So far, i'm happy.

I'm 190lbs and I get the feeling it easily could support twice that. It is very sturdy and well built. It is perfectly stable in the back and forth direction. I don't think you could tip it back or forward even if you tried (if you're actually sitting on it). I use it on carpet an it is still very stable. You'll be happy with it, it is a great bench.

I'm 5'10" and weight about 270, and it holds me well. The padding is thick and comfortable. My only concern is that the set holes on the bench did not align properly with the corresponding male supports on the stand. Even though their not aligned, I forced them to fit, but the supports are not completely in the set holes. Still, when I sit on the bench, it feels secure. If the holes were aligned, I think you would find the bench to be quite comfortable and secure. I just think my bench fell through the manufacturer's quality control. I didn't return it because I bought the bench for my 70 lb., 9-year old granddaughter, and so someone (not me) could sit beside her. I'm 5'10" and weight about 270, and it holds me well.

The base supports are as wide as the seat itself, and they are tipped with ridged, yielding plastic. That bodes well for back and forth sturdiness. I've never had any problem or even thoughts on that score. But I would hesitate to stand on one side of the seat with my feet half over the edge -- that would be asking for trouble.

Seems very sturdy to me...I have one in my van camper, I weigh 210 pounds and I have been using it for 2-3 months with no problems....

On the back of the bench, which lists the safety specs, it states 200lbs. It may be sturdy for a bit more but I wouldn't go past the recommendations if you want the bench to last.

I'm not sure, it looked kind of flimsy but I've got 400 plus lbs on it and have had no problems.

It seems sturdy enough. I would say like 300? maybe a little more. I would note that the seat is much narrower than the picture makes it out to be. So while it can probably hold enough weight, I wouldn't recommend for bigger people.

I just looked at the information and it said 200 LBS. It is very sturdy and it is fine for me 208 lbs.

The sticker on it says it holds up to 300 lbs. I don't weigh that much, but it seems very sturdy. Karen H.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it... maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok. So, good luck.

quite sturdy.... I am a 265 lb guy and I can climb over it and wiggle around and turn around with no problems or creeks or moans and my wife puts almost all her weight on me when doing some massage positions and so far no collapses.

This meant as a general Comment for all the Answers: Thank you everyone for all your answers. At topping 300lbs, I suspect I wouldn't be able to even sit on this without being worried about crushing it, heh. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to weight limits on things that seem like they should be ultra sturdy (I have no problems climbing a ladder with a 200lb rating, for instance, I just don't jump up and down on it and I balance my weight). But it sounds like this would be an injury waiting to happen. Thank you all for taking your time to answer this!

The table seems flimsy until it is all put together. When together it's very sturdy and can hold a lot. I've had over 50 lbs on it with no problems.

Very sturdy. I have moved it several times. It is pretty solid. There are two metal extents attached to the side panels that provide balance. There are also numerous videos on-line that you may want to view, too. Just google the exact name and model number.

I'm under 200 lbs., have had no problem whatsoever. The description on the web page says up to 250 lbs. I found it to be sturdy.
