how much weight is it designed to hold? What is the frame made of&gt; What kind of wood is used in the frame? Is it plywood?

I weigh 285 and it seems to handle me just fine. The chair does tip forward when I have it fully reclined and lean forward to grab something. This is not a problem though if you put the chair back in the upright position. I am happy with the chair and would buy it again so far. I did not look to see what the chair was made out of but it seems solid and my backrest is still tight. If you are concerned, get the 5 year, everything covered, insurance upon purchase. Then if it falls apart on you, file the insurance claim and they will fix or replace it.

The main frame is made of solid Wood and some parts are made of plywood. You get what you pay for. Some assemblyman skills needed but not too complicated

I'm no expert on wood. It looks like oak. It holds me. I weigh 155 pounds. I seem to remember a weight limit somewhere in the description, if that's your concern.

yes, it's wood. don't know the weight. It's full of books right now and I am not inclined to empty it. but it is not heavy, that much I know.

I believe it's made of resin wicker. I use it indoors, but it's supposed to be indoor/outdoor. There is no frame, the whole thing is made of the same material. Very sturdy and very nice to look at.

I wouldn't say that the frame is heavy but rather sturdy. It isn't difficult to move especially with two people. I moved it myself a few weeks ago by picking up one end, sliding it a few feet, then repeating on the other side.

It is pressed wood. MDF, I believe. I received mine with large split in part of the frame, but, I wood glued and put a vice on it as I needed something right away. In spite of that, the price was right and I'm happy with it.

Plywood not plastic. You can carry it on your shoulder and I am a female ;-) Would say it is maybe 15 lbs.

You build this out of a bundle of wood parts. Wood frame with one long board down the middle and a set of slats attached to the frame - together these form the top. Then there is a cover over the whole thing. I do carpentry - was not impressed with the pieces - sent it back for a refund. To their credit, they refunded it quickly and without argument. But I recommend a real box spring that you don't need to assemble. We found one online that was a bit more but well worth the difference.

The frame is made of metal, and the shelves are made of laminated particle board. I've had the shelves for a while and they are quite sturdy and attractive. Hope that helps!

I'm not good at telling what kind of wood it is, but it's very sturdy. It seems like a plywood and looks like it could easily be painted. It's thick and substantial, though. Hope this helps!

It has a wood frame and its covered inside as well. I think it is very sturdy its used every day. Great product

It is made of wood, but mine wobbles a lot after I assembled it. That's what you get for such a cheap price!

I don't think any of the documentation specified. It's actual wood, not plywood. The grain looks most like oak pieces I have around the house. The finish is darker, though - looks like mahogany or a dark cherry. I've been very happy with it.

It is not heavy at all. It is not amde of plastic either, but a very light wood. It looks like a lot to put together, but it went together very easy.

The frame is made of aluminum. The top is made of what I think is pressboard with some kind of coating on the top & underneath. I use mine all the time for distillery promotion at liquor store tastings and I'm careful to wipe any spills right so the portable bar has held up well.

The frame is solid wood. The problem I had with the chair is the bottom seat. It just has like layers of cardboard under the seat for support. That broke away after just 1 week. The fix was to cut some 1/2" plywood the size of the seat and fasten the set to that.
