After the benches are built, is there a weight limit that the benches can hold? We wouldn't want to stress the frames. t

It depends on what material you use for the seats and the length of the seats, and the size of the people who will be using it. If you use composite all weather decking like I did, you will need additional support in the middle and braces from the middle to the ends. I also made the seats 16 inches wide. If you use treated lumber it will be stronger than untreated and will last longer. Additional material will also increase the weight, although more stable, it will be harder to move the table and seats around. For a normal size 6 foot table, and average size persons, the 2 by 4s will be probably be ok, you can always add the additional supports if it turns out to need it.

No not this bench. Its not sturdy. I bought this for my brothers. They are about 150lbs and it wobbles sometimes. Its more for beginners and lightweights

I don't know if there is but I'm 210 lbs and it feels stable to me. But I'm not the manufacturer and can't state what the safe limits of the bench are

I don't know the weight limit but coach a GU18 team and 5 girls and myself sit on it without any issue. Have used this bench for the past 4 seasons!

My husband and I sit on it for a total of over 400 lbs. It's a sturdy bench, but of course, I can't promise that the concentrated weight of one person over 500 pounds would be safe. However, in assembling it, I noticed that the weight of the seat is resting ON the legs. It is not just screwed TO the legs, so you're not depending on the strength of screws to hold the weight. I would give it a try.

In the manual it does not state the weight limit. But it is love seat designed for two people. My wife and I have sat on it and it feels solid and bench itself feels very strong because the bolts are high-quality and impressive and aluminum is thick and can hold plenty of weight. Therefore, I guess it can easily handle 500 pounds or more.

i am not aware of a weight limit. i'd call the manufacturer if it's an issue.

Mary,Weight isn't an issue here as the bench is an inferior product. Don't buy it! Our original one came with 2 broken parts then a subsequent bench arrived with the SAME broken parts! Find a better one!

I have no idea since I've never stressed tested it to the point of destruction. That being said, it's a very sturdy little bench. It can easily support 210 lbs. I would imagine that it could handle 300 lbs with no problem; not certain though.

Hi Bob, It seems to be a quality piece....and like you I can't find any specs on weight limits. I think it would take at least 350 lbs. per bench with no problem.Bob.

Not really! Benches are kind of light but the table little heavier than benches it's very usefull if you buy this even you can use at home or picnic vs.. My sister was here to visit us couple weeks ago we both seat on the benches and had a breakfast nobody falled. My weight is 162 pounds and my sisters is 125 I'm so glad I bought this table and you will too.

I used only 4 shelves from the two units I bought and made 1 bench from the upper leftover shelves. If I had tried to make 2 tables they would've been very wobbly, in my opinion. The legs really should be anchored in the holes of another shelf to be sturdy enough to hold 40 pounds.

June, I weigh 265lbs and it holds me without any problems. I don't remember the weight capacity. I am very happy with the bench. It makes it easy for me as I have problems standing a long time.

As long as both of you aren't actually on the bench at the same time you should be fine...it's very sturdy. I weigh around 190 and have benched 325 with no sign of structural fatigue to the bench.

I'm not sure! It seems to me that it can hold a little bit more than 400 lbs. It's a very strong bench.

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.

The biggest person I've had in the chairs is about 250 and the bench was able to support TWO people both weighing about 160ish! Hope this helps! I love this table!!
