The chair description says: "Max Weight Cap 350 lbs.", not 280. I bought this chair because of the max weight limit. Is the weight limit 280 lbs, or 350 lbs??? Steve B. answered on July 24, 2014

I love mine but I am 252 pounder..but I have bad knees and rely on the framework and arms to get in and out of a chair.

The users of this chair are averaged at around 190 lbs. we fit the chair. I used to be a lot heavier and I would not have fit it back then. The chair is a smaller size. I would think twice.

I don't know the weight limit for this chair but I weigh 240 and there's no problem at all. The chair has been great. It's perfect for me.

It is a great chair and would imagine that it would hold a very hefty person. Don't remember seeing a weight limit. It is sturdy. And quite comfortable.

I don't know the actual weight limit per the manufacturer. But I do have a friend that is probably just under 300 lbs and she comes over and sits in the chairs all the time. Hope that helps!

I don't actually know the answer to the question (did the manufacturer post anything?) but both my son and I are comfortable and feel safe in this chair -- no problem. (130, 120 lbs.) We still love it!

Don't currently have the info but it is at least 200 lbs. My husband is 175 and I let him sit in it. I could not love this chair more!

I am not sure I weight in around 230 pounds the one that came with my chair broke after about 6 years. I put this one on and it rocks. i do not think it will ever break. it is Fantastic. I love my chair and did not want to get a new one as I can not find the exact one anywhere.

I was over 450 when I bought The Lane Comfort King Rocker and it has been a great chair. I had over a dozen other named chairs that all broke down and cost over a thousand dollars each because these chairs were not built for more then 350 pounds. JT

Amazon puts the weight limit at 350lb but the manufacturer's website states it at 400lb. I am 6'0 220lbs. I work from home, so I am in this chair 12 to 16 hours a day. The cylinder started to leak at 3 months. Base plate started to crack after 5 months. You can squeeze a little more life out of the base plate and cylinder if you never lock the chair so you can't lean back.I used to burn thru 1 to 2 of the cheap chairs a year. Do yourself a favor and spend the money and buy a "24 Hour Chair". They usually cost around $400-$600. Some "24 Hour chairs" even come with a 5 to 10 year warranty.

Well, I've weighed as much as 280 since I've had the chair, and it hasn't broke on me. I'm sure it'll support at least 300, but it does creak some when I sit in it.

My 230 lbs friend has sat in these chairs without a problem. I'm 190 and I sit in them regularly, leaning and moving while in the chair, without any issues. So, it's at least 220 lbs I'd say. Don't know anyone heavier than 230, so hopefully others will answer as well.

If I remember mfg says up to 300#. Bought this for my husband whose weight fluctuated daily from 270 to 300#. It is a very sturdy. He never felt wobbly or unsteady in the chair when weight was up. Would recommend this chair.

I don't know the specific weight limit. However, they are much sturdier than other chairs that are rated 250lbs. they are built very well. hope this helps. I have had mine for two summers and they have been used a lot. still in good shape with no ripping. average user is about 200 lbs.

The chair is for sure great quality. But I don't think that a 300lbs person would fit in it. I have the one that has armrest on it and I just fit perfectly on it. I'm 170lbs and I think the max capacity is only 200.. Thanks. I hope you won't take my words offensively...

Hi Jane, I am not sure what the weight limit is but I am 5'10, 180lbs, and I easily fit in the chair with several inches to spare on the sides. Also, with the chair up all the way, the chair barely goes down when I sit on it. Sorry for not being able to answer your question.
