i have cerebal palsy and need something strong enough to hold me up if i start to fall. i weigh 155lbs and am 72. will they support me?

No, these would not hold you. My 16 yr. old son, weighing about 140 soaking wet bent a pair while hiking. He did have 30 - 40 lbs. on his back, but I would want something sturdier to hold me up.

Yes, they should support you very nicely. I am 87 years old and had a stroke 3 years ago leaving me with some loss of balance that makes walking a challenge. I used to weigh 155 lbs but lost 10 lbs on diet and that helps.

The stool is supposed to hold up to 600 pounds. I'm not as heavy as you, but I'm heavy. It should hold your weight. Not knowing your height or the height of your bed, I can't really say whether it would help you getting into your bed. I use it to reach my higher kitchen cabinets. I'm 68 with 2 hip replacements and needed something sturdy that I wouldn't go tumbling onto the floor! Both feet fit squarely on it. I suppose you could purchase it and return it or resell it if it didn't work for you. Good luck.

I think it will hold. It might be a little cramped inside. I am about 180 and my kid is about 60 and it felt like it could have held more weight.

I'm not comfortable answering this question. It would depend on what your trying to do. I'm a very large woman and they give me the confidence I need to walk on a slippery iCy surface. But I don't know that they would support me if I were to trying to climb up and down a hill.and I don't think they'd be much good in helping me get back up if I actually did fall but they're keeping me from falling. I hope this helped.

It's certainly is strong enough to support a person. I weigh 250 pounds and I sat on it without fear that it would break.Actually due to the depth of the box the curved top makes it more comfortable to sit on.

I am 2550 pounds of mostly muscle, they support me with no problem. If they don't, I'm sure you have either mis-assembled or have a product liability case coming! Frankly they are very good, sturdy, attractive and tough, so far....

Not a problem - it's very well built. I'm just under 200 and I know it could handle someone much heavier.

Their web site says 100 lbs. However, I will say it will with no problem: I just went out to my garage, sat in just ONE and moved up and down. Held me just fine. I weigh 235 lbs. Just to be on the safe side, perhaps the first time you use it you might put down a plastic garbage bag or a piece of flat plastic, then put a pillow on top of that. If they do not hold the kayak it will land on the pillows. But I am very sure it will hold.

250 pounds is usually the limit for canes, so it's borderline whether it will support your weight.

I weigh about 170 lbs and have stood on mine a few times climbing up to the drop down bed in my toy hauler. I have them mounted on a table that I made that's attached to the wall with a removable hinge and the table is supported with 4 of these. SO... I'd feel good about saying that they will support at a minimum of 50 lbs each. Just MY opinion and NOT an official recommendation by any means.

Not sure the severity of your paralyzation, and I wouldn't want to guess how much stability you'd need and if these would be enough. May want to pull them up on your phone and show your doc or physical therapist and see what they say. I can say they are very stable for hiking purposes, and I've had no issues. They have supported my full weight while descending or jumping over rocks or steams before. There are a few different attachments, and I think the basic ones would be best for asphalt. Just a tip, although I have enjoyed these, I saw a pair at Costco right now that was carbon fiber and half the price with just as many attachments that I would look into if I were getting them again. Worth checking out. Good luck with your rehab.

I don't believe the footrest is designed to hold any weight other than your feet..I love my footrest, but I wouldn't even try to stand on it. Maybe someone you know could make a 3 piece wooden set that would make a sturdier lift for your speaking engagements.

Really not sure. But I'm 220lbs and holds my weight fine. Doesn't feel shaky or unsturdy.

My wife also has major balance problems as well as breaking her leg last November. So for her getting up and down off anything is a real challenge. The commode is in the bedroom so she doesn't have to walk to the bathroom in the dark or with limited light. It is plenty strong and can hold at least 220 pounds - and is raised enough to make it easier to get up and down. Hope this helps (you do have to do limited assembly, but if I can do it anyone can.

Absolutely! Great for my Mother (89 yr old), 5' max, 120lbs. Works beautifully.

I think it will safely hold you. I've had at least 3-4 weiighing from 240 to 275 and it didn't hurt the chair at all. This chair is super nice and I love it more every day.
