Not sure of the weight limit. I had relatives over for Christmas and several were in the 275 to 300+ range and the chairs held up.

Claire, I had the same issue with some relatives. I don't know the exact weight but based on some close to 200 mine have been good.

These chairs are hallow framed. I don't think they would hold up well for consistent use by anyone over 225 lbs. Also, they have sort of a cap on the end of the hollow frame that fit into the feet. It is flat to the and then fits into the square frame as floor protection. I worry they will wear down soon and then floor damage could occur.

good question as i was just pondering that this past wkend. instructions don't really state that i recall, i would put a weight limit of say 2 adults, perhpas 400 lbs? chair looks very sturdy though and should have no problem supporting even a few more lbs than 400!

i want to get these as dining chairs for my formal dining.. my worry is it cracks or even worse breaks when one of the guests weighing above 250lbs sit in it? thats going to be such an embarrassing moment

I sent the chairs back because they won't work with my tables, so I don't know the weight limit, sorry!

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.

The is no documented weight capacity. I am 200 lbs and have no trouble with the chairs.

I'm not sure of the weight limit of the chairs, but my husband is 250 lbs and they hold him just fine. I hope that helps! It's a great buy and they look great!

We returned it because we could not put it in our chair because it is all molded into plastic and can not be removed. I do not think it would support a 350 weight.

Michelle, I don't really know the answer to this question, but when I assembled my chairs I glued all of the joints before I added the screws. The chairs seem to be very sturdy. My brother-in-law weighs about 280 lbs. and it hasn't been a problem yet.

Hi there! There was no reported weight limit on the chairs. I weigh 152 pounds and I sit on the chairs quite comfortably. My friend, who is about 210ish pounds, seemed comfortable and was able to complete an art project with no reported ache or pain while sitting in the chair. No breaking or moaning from the assembled chairs! I hope this helps give you an idea.

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 had already posted a review that this table and chairs are very very poor quality so I would not recommend anybody buying this especially in this case where somebody weighs 280 pounds these chairs will not be able to hold you and me where I weigh only the hundred sixty pounds these chairs are already started cracking the wood used in these chairs is very very poor quality so I would stay away from this whole set. hope this helps

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.

Hello Rowen! The weight capacity listed is "Designed to support up to 350 lbs." I hope this helps. Thank you for choosing OfficeMax!

For me they are a bit wobbly to begin with and not super sturdy. I would say 200 lbs or less, because my friend sat on it he is a little over and the chairs just can't handle a lot of weight. For bar stools I would not recommend these. They feel like they might fall apart the moment you sit on them.

Honestly, I don't know. They are very sturdy. I weight 200 lb. & don't feel like like it would break. We are very happy with them.
