you say the barstool is heavy duty.what I want to know is how much weight can it hold and for how long a time?.

I haven't done any scientific tests but it easily holds 200+ pound people for as long as they need to sit. Also when putting it together you feel the strength of the metal screws and wood dowels.

I checked with my granddaughter (a university student) who I ordered them for to be sure. She says the bar is "made of wood, has survived 3 moves with no problems, very sturdy."

Probably Amazon or eBay, but to be honest with you, this frame barely lasted 2 months. I am a big guy, stupid bars bent over time... resulting in extreme back pain one day. I didn't even have anyone else sleeping on it. It looks like a good deal, they claim it holds 1300 pounds or something, but it definitely can't handle one grown man, 5' 10"! May be OK for a small person or a dog.

Can't remember what weight it is suppose to hold. I am about 317 and have no problems. It has more than ample room. Highly recomend.

Hi Damien. I went to the site of the guy who invented it, and it said on the FAQ page that it can hold up to 300 lbs.

I would definitely say more. My husband says it could probably hold up to 30 - 40lbs. without teetering/wobbling. It's a very sturdy table! It might slide around on hardwood/tiled/linoleum floors, but I use mine on carpet, and it doesn't budge. :) I hope that helps!

It do t know how much weight it can hold. But this is what I ordered. They say they don't have it in stock, Don't want other as a substitute . If they have it in stock and will be late that okay. This is what I want .

I have never measured the length of the bar we use. It is a heavy duty knurled bar. I know it is at least 48" in length. It can hold over 300 pounds of weights although I'm not using it with that much weight on the bar. The Marcy bench we have is rated to hold about 600 pounds of weight if I recall properly. It is heavy duty. If you have an Olympic or heavy duty sized bar and are using 150, 200, 250 pounds of weight or even more the bar rest will hold it. If the bench is assembled properly it will not wobble or move. It will be rigid and sit like a rock in place. The bar holder will hold any bar from I'd say one inch in diameter and up to the diameter of an Olympic sized bar. It is comparable to weight benches I've seen in gyms in the past. It'll hold a lot of weight and not move, wobble, lift / tilt if assembled correctly. You can be confident using it. I'm an old guy in my early 60's and disabled and I have complete confidence in this bench and have used it for quite some time now, as does my wife as well and we've never had an accident, a problem, or anything go wrong.

It will hold up to or a little more than 500 pounds. However, it does have a center bar separating the two occupants and I would not recommend it for a wild night out with the wife. That said, it is comfortable and I enjoy the easy set up. What more can I say?

It says it holds up to 250 pounds. The legs are aluminum and might bend/break. On the other hand it' s just 30 pounds more so it might. Haven't tried it with that weight.

I have the same issue, but it seems solid enough and strong enough. When we bench with 200+ pounds on the bar, and re-rack it, this little bit of give does tend to move the rack a bit, even with an additional 200 pounds on the weight holding pegs, so be aware of that. I definitely would not rack more than 300 pounds on this however - if you need to go beyond that weight, you should look into a whole cage because you are too advanced for this particular rack.

Hi Tim, this bar stool is not strong, I think any one over 160 lbs just don't buy it!

It can easily hold up to 230 lbs. person though not sure for how long. Never had to test that theory for long. My husband has sat on it for at Least an hour on numerous occasions and it is still holding up very nicely. The only issue I've had so far is the feet pegs have broken off. Hope this helps.

I have a 32" flatscreen on the top, the middle holds a 5+/- lb av receiver and a middle surround speaker. I just tried sitting on the top shelf with the tv still on it and it did not seem like it would break. I am just under 200lbs. I did not put all my weight on it but enough to know it can hold about 50 lbs without worry. Id even go as far to say it holds 100lbs on the top shelf alone but you shouldn't put anything that heavy on it either way; no tv weighs that much that you wouldn't just mount to the wall. It is really unbelievably sturdy for the material and assembly. slight wobble but not fall apart wobble. you would have to try to break it in order to.

Husband weighs 280. If you mean the weight lifted, the max he's lifted with the bar is 300 lbs. He's an old guy now but is an experienced weight trainer & feels it could handle 400 lbs. Hope that helps.

The answer is,Yes and the company has superb customer support! One of the barstool arrived with a damaged ornamental piece. I called the company, they shipped a whole new barstool stem along with a replacement part immediately, without any additional costs. Great set of four barstools and an Outstanding Company!!!
