How well do you think it can hold up if a 350lb man sat on it for long periods of time?

I do not think sitting on it would do much damage. A large person would have trouble getting up because it is so low to the ground. Our sleeper chair has held up well but we are not large people.

It would not. And if he has any stiffness in his legs, he would not be able to get up.

I don't think it will necessarily deform, or damage the sleeper. I just don't think this is a great product to sit it on for long periods of time due to it's size, it may be a bit uncomfortable.

I am not really sure. I have my grandchildren use it when they come over. When it is a chair it is very low to the ground which makes it a bit uncomfortable for an adult to sit down and get back up.

My grandchildren sit on it. That's one reason I bought it. It would probably hold 150 lbs on occasion, but it wouldn't hold up to that for long.

Not sure what the manufacturer says but it's pretty sturdy. I've had them about two years and no issues with a 160-175 lb man sitting on it. Wouldn't go over the 200lb mark though just to be safe.

Glad you asked. I contacted the Green Group LLC by email and asked them the same question. The response I got was that it should have no problem holding up to 350 lbs. However having said that, I would caution you that that is the rating for all 5 wheels TOTAL. So, if you are like me and like to lean back in your chair, you will be putting all that weight on 1 or 2 of the legs. I did this for a year and one of my legs broke at the weld. When that happened, I immediately ordered a new one. I now sit in my chair with the lean lever in the lock position so I can't lean back. I really like the look of the chrome vs the black one's that usually come with a chair. Just remember to remove your wheels from your old base to transfer to your new base.

I have sat on it several times. I bought the 85 quart model. I believe it would be durable enough, just remember using anything other than its intended design falls upon you as to warranty issues.

I haven't sat on it. I keep my grandsons' toys in it. I'm not sure if it would be strong enough to be sat on. Someone that doesn't weight much would do ok, but anyone that is heavy, I wouldn't suggest it.

I weighed 183 when I started and my husband is 240. It stands up to the weight. I would say that it could easily handle a 350 pound person. It also has wheels on the front stand that make it very easy to move. We love it!

It seems sturdy enough. I would say like 300? maybe a little more. I would note that the seat is much narrower than the picture makes it out to be. So while it can probably hold enough weight, I wouldn't recommend for bigger people.

It can hold a lot of weight for sure over 350+ but there is a bar that separates the right side from the left. What I did not like about it was when one person on the left would move ( or vice versa) the other person on the right would shift. It is not ideal. Would be great if not for the bar in the middle. Oh and if using in a tent put a blanket down under it cause it will put a hole in the floor of your tent. Hope this helps.

I would guess it can hold weight up to about 300 pounds. Seems quite durable

It seems very sturdy. I weigh 210 and it doesn't now or flex. I think it could easily hold a person who weighs 350

To be honest I don't know I had a guest a little over two hundred pounds sit on it with no issues. The material that it's made with is very sturdy so I would imagine that it could hold a decent amount of weight.

I am using this for more than 6 months and it is still OK. I can not answer this question exactly but it is more durable than it seems. 3 or 4 average people sat on it for few times and it is OK. I hope this has helped you.

This chair will hold you with no problem. I have had guest 300lbs sit in it with no problem. It is very comfortable.

I' 6'4" and 350LBS. Yes it will hold up. I'm not happy with this and I doubt your husband and kids will be either if they are that tall as the back of this couch is too low. It's not like a regular couch. Only comes up midway on your back. I was very disappointed in the product.

My 53 lb. 7 year old son sits on it sometimes, it holds him up pretty well, lol. We tend to pile a lot of stuff on it sometimes, so I think it is pretty sturdy.

I think it is very sturdy! I am not sure the exact weight it can handle but we bought for our 12 year old son who is 5'3" and weighs 105 lbs. I plan on him using it for a long time.
