I weigh 180 lbs. even tough it bends, is there a threat of it breaking?

The likelihood of it breaking is very very slim to none , but whats more critical is to make sure each step is fully locked in its position, because if one slips out of position ,it could have a domino affect from step to step . The odds of you ending all the way down are again very very slim , but just a few steps slipping and you could end up all the way down .

I also weigh 180 and have used the ladder many times without a problem. As with any ladder, make sure you have it at a steep enough angle to be safe. With this type of ladder, a shallow angle will put more stress on the joints.

it will hold about 200 lbs evenly distributed, but a heavy 50lb object or so misplaced in any particular spot with a distributing board or something would likely cause some bending...

My husband is around 200-210 lbs and he has slept on it before, but he didn't feel entirely sure about it. :) It was only for a few nights. The bed was okay and nothing broke, but he said any more weight than that might not be a good idea. I'm about 140 and have slept on it, no problem. I think an adult weighing 180 should be fine in terms of what the bed can handle, but they may not feel secure / supported enough.

maybe a little. it is aluminium. you couldn't bend it 90 deg. it would kink

Just holding it horizontal it doesn't bend, but if you are looking to put a heavy weight on it, it will.

I would be worried about the weight it can handle. If supported correctly it might.

no problem, it's strong. Just make sure the legs are extended well or the whole thing can fall.

It would definitely not break and would not bend unless you put a lot of pressure on it.

It will not bend easily. It's made of (I think) composite cardboard. It's very hard and inflexible.

Never had any problems with it. Shouldn't bend unless you sit on them or force it.

I have been on it and weigh more than 200 lbs. no issues. I will say that if it has been assembled and used for a while the screws will need tightening, which may be why another reviewer had issues with wobble.

Well, I am 280 lbs and was a bit skeptic myself. I must say it is incredibly stable regardless of my weight, does not wobble at all or bend. I was even shyly testing to apply all of my weight on one of the sides and it seemed to be able to take it. I would say perhaps 3000 lbs is a bit crazy but it can easily manage over 300 easy! Really well built and tubes are quite strong. :)

It's pretty stout. I only weight 140, but I can use it without even getting my clothes wet if I want to read on it. (With some effort in balancing). Have fun!

A friend of mine is 220 pounds and he sat it in for a long time without it breaking. Other than that, I don't know

Difficult question. Tested up to 180 pounds! The manufacturer should be able to reply correctly
