Product description here states 500 lb wt limit. Tag sent w/ the stool states 300 lb. Any clue as to which it is? The company didn't answer email.

If my description said 500 lbs, I must bow to company. If product tag days 500, I can well believe it. However, I bought for my husband, who is 350 lbs. He uses it to get into truck and it is very sturdy. I looked a long time for one with 400 or 500 lb capacity, and this was by far the best.I have the one with the handle and also the crossbraces so it is very sturdy!!

My understanding echoes the other answers. This is by far the sturdiest handled stool I have purchased of the roughly 6 I have purchased over the past 10 years. One of my patients is 375# -- stool handled the weight without a hint of strain. Like the other respondents, it was my understanding the cross-braced unit had 500# rating whereas the non-cross-braced unit was rated at 300#.

My understanding is the one without the cross braces is a 300# limit and the one with the cross braces, like I bought and shown in picture, is a 500# limit. Nothing on it says though. I am 270# and it is very solid with me stepping up/down and moving around on it. So again, can't be sure as no tag on it but it is a very sturdy unit - though weight limit tag not on it. Hope this helps?

Hi Chris, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Heavy Duty Bariatric Footstool with Non Skid Rubber Platform. This stool has a weight capacity of 500lbs. It is very sturdy and one of the most popular items that Drive Medical manufacturers.

I did stand on it once and I weigh under 300 lbs -- the weight tolerance was okay. The problems with the step stool make it almost not worth buying, however, as it slips and slides too easily and tips too easily. The one I have has the hand rail because I wanted it for getting out of the shower -- this product is not good for this. My cat also clawed the rubber coating very easily and left marring. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

300 lbs... It should say this in the description; at least all the ones I've looked at state the weight limit.

I think it is 300lb but I think the seat would not be big enough to be comfortable for a person much over 200lb. The seat is on the small side. It may be difficult to wipe your bottom. It was fine for near 200lb. I am still happy with my purchase.

Certainly not 30lbs, I'd say 13lbs. I purchased it for a small/short elderly woman in her 70s and she was able to lift it. It is a standard weight yet sturdy stool. You could try checking GP Logistics website if you want an exact number. A gallon of milk weighs almost 10lbs, and I don't think it weighs a lot more than that, so 13lbs is very reasonable And most people would use two hands for the stool.

According to the info that is on the Amazon site the limit is 440 pounds. I'm very pleased with my scale.

Not sure what the exact weight limit is but we have had guests that are about 200 and no problems yet! I must add that I love these stools and they really are worth the money!

This stool is rated to safely hold 200 pounds, my husband is under 250 and was not comfortable using it; so I purchased another rated at 400+. We did not have any failures or breaks; just an uneasiness with the stability of the product.

Not sure, but......I believe it is 300 lbs. My husband is 250 lbs and 6'5" and he fits alright in his chair but I'm not sure about 30-40 lbs. more. Nice stool though.

I didnt see a weight limit listed. However, I've got friends over 300lbs and they have no problems using them and the stools have no problems supporting that much weight

Easily over 300 pounds. These stools are very heavy and well made you won't be disappointed with them.

I don't know if there is a weight limit, but this stool is very sturdy. It is onthe heavy side to move but I feel safe on it. For me it doubles as a counter stool to sit on, and I would not worry to have a bigger person sit on it.
