What weight limit does the manufacturer put on this bench? If that's not available, what's the max load you've typically felt comfortable with?

I don't know the weight limit set by the manufacturer but it's not much. We found it to be very unsteady. We bought the chairs, square table, coffee table, side tables and bench. The bench was much flimsier than the the regular chairs. We also had to drill screws through the back of the bench into the armrests after about a week because the armrests were not staying in place

not sure about the manufacturer wt limit...we've had 3 solid adults on it without any indication of stress/sagging (maybe 550 lbs)....they are quite solid. If you get it, use teak oil to condition them--they stay beautiful!

not sure what the weight limit is, BUT...i weigh 200 lbs and its not uncommon to have two adults or three children on it. it holds up fine and i have two... however... recently the screws on the legs have been getting more and more loose. i haven't gotten around to re-tightening them, but untreated, it will eventually break. gotta get my phillips out and re-tighten these bad-boys. its a really good buy for the money. they are pretreated, but after a year of ownership and the winter, i applied some linseed oil to all these chairs i have. look like new. they appear that they'll hold up for quite some time. not sure what the weight limit is, BUT...i weigh 200 lbs and its not uncommon to have two adults or three children on it. it holds up fine and i have two... however... recently the screws on the legs have been getting more and more loose. i haven't gotten around to re-tightening them, but untreated, it will eventually break. gotta get my phillips out and re-tighten these bad-boys. its a really good buy for the money. they are pretreated, but after a year of ownership and the winter, i applied some linseed oil to all these chairs i have. look like new. they appear that they'll... » Read More not sure what the weight limit is, BUT...i weigh 200 lbs and its not uncommon to have two adults or three children on it. it holds up fine and i have two... however... recently the screws on the legs have been getting more and more loose. i haven't gotten around to re-tightening them, but untreated, it will eventually break. gotta get my phillips out and re-tighten these bad-boys. its a really good buy for the money. they are pretreated, but after a year of ownership and the winter, i applied some linseed oil to all these chairs i have. look like new. they appear that they'll hold up for quite some time. « Show Less

On the back of the bench, which lists the safety specs, it states 200lbs. It may be sturdy for a bit more but I wouldn't go past the recommendations if you want the bench to last.

I have no idea. All my friends and family are under 200 lbs and have sat in them comfortably. Not sure what the manufacturer states as a weight limit.

Good morning, Karen. The bench will hold up to 400 pounds on each side for a total limit of 800 pounds. Thank you, Sarah | Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I don't believe that it said the capacity in weight, what I did was reinforce the seating area from underneath and limit 3 to 4 people on it at one time. It all depends how long your bench is and the wood you use.

I don't recall seeing anything about weight limitations. I weigh 180 lbs and found no problem with it.

The tag on mine doesn't say anything about a weight limit; you'll probably have to ask the manufacturer.

I believe I read somewhere that the maximum weight is 250 pounds. This bench is SUPER sturdy. I have purchased three of them and am very satisfied.

Though there is no known weight limit published, I've had 3 people sitting on it with no issues. It is solidly made. I've even had times where there has been 3 sitting, 2 resting on the arms with no problems. Hope this helps!

This is a great bench. After receiving mine we bought one for our Daughter. I don't know the weight limit but my wife and I both sit on it when we but on our shoes, That would be about 260 lbs total. I don't believe even 350 lbs or more would be excessive. Great product we just love it.

June, I weigh 265lbs and it holds me without any problems. I don't remember the weight capacity. I am very happy with the bench. It makes it easy for me as I have problems standing a long time.

I purchased the bench about 18 months ago....I believe that the information about max weight was somewhere on the site when I bought it. I only use up to 135#, but the incredible sturdy structure of this well-made bench, indicates to me that it will support much heavier weights. I would search the Deltech site for your answer....I know it is there.

I own one of these, and I do not see any mention of a weight limit on the bench, not do I remember seeing anything in the literature. However, I can tell you that the construction is pretty sturdy, so I'd guess that it would hold at least 200 lbs, and may be good to 250 lbs, as long as one is not jumping or "plopping" on it.

No stated weight limit. I have put my 60 lbs Fatbike on it with no problems.

Yes, I believe the bench offered by Bow-flex has a higher weight limit. Do a search on here for it.
