How much weight will this bench support? I saw 1 review below from a big/tall person that was very encouraging ... anyone else?

well, at 230lbs, i'm not exactly a lightweight and it seems to support my fat ass just fine

I walked into the living room to find my husband STANDING on it (5"8" 170#). He was trying to see our dogs in the back yard. Geesh.

I weigh 250 and it supports me fine. The seat opening is small though, so even if it holds the weight of someone like me, it's almost not useable due to the small seat size. My 200 lb buddies feel like it's too small too.

My husband and I have sat on this bench at the same time, our weight combined is about 300 lbs, and there was no sign that the bench couldn't support our weight...so at least 300.

This bench is about as solid as they get. I think the manual said it can handle 480lbs; something like that. Decline angle is a little low and the stabilizers near the seat tend to get in the way. This will definitely not wobble though.

Hi Bob, It seems to be a quality piece....and like you I can't find any specs on weight limits. I think it would take at least 350 lbs. per bench with no problem.Bob.

I happen to love this bench. It is well made and very sturdy. I sit on it while doing laundry we store lots below and it is what I consider a added feature in my mud room. I would say it holds hundreds of pounds...it holds me!

I'm sorry, but i don't understand the question. Are you asking if you CAN? Or telling me you can? Can you please reask and reword your question? BTW i would NOT recommend this bench unless you are using it for very light exercising. It is very unsturdy when you begin to use heavy weights for exercising.

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.

My husband and I sit on it for a total of over 400 lbs. It's a sturdy bench, but of course, I can't promise that the concentrated weight of one person over 500 pounds would be safe. However, in assembling it, I noticed that the weight of the seat is resting ON the legs. It is not just screwed TO the legs, so you're not depending on the strength of screws to hold the weight. I would give it a try.

It's pretty low - a comfortable bench. However, I believe it could handle a lot of weight, so if your set is big, go for it!

My husband weighs 220lb. The bench is very sturdy, I imagine it would hold more!

Without question. I weigh that much and I have BBQs and have sit on it with various friends who weigh between 175 and 250. I've had up to three people of that size on each bench at a time. This thing is very sturdy. It doesn't rock or creak or anything remotely appearing to be weak. This thing is way strong. I would not worry.

I have a queen and it's held up to 500 lbs worth of humans and breasts so far (at once) without so much as creaking. The advertised weight limit is in the 2,000 lb range as Joshua has mentioned. As a side note my 290 lb boyfriend cannonballed into it a couple weeks ago, it rocked but I think that was the sideways momentum not the frame. I checked it out and it's still good so I REALLY doubt you'll have any trouble with it.

I am 208 lbs and it is working great for me. I think it is pretty sturdy and should work for you too. Because it feels like there is still some give when I am on it. I hope this helps you.

Sorry Tony.. This is a youth bench. it will not hold 110Lbs without the leg end being anchored..6 ft. one inch barbell is what it is made 4. I am afraid an Olympic barbell would crush this bench, or you. there is no way to anchor the legwork as it PLASTIC...nuff said. hope U get this before buying

The weight limit as stated on the package is 250 lbs including the person lifting the weight. But from experience, I'm 200 lbs and i bench 100 lbs on this weight bench. I would be very careful at this point however, because it really isn't designed for it, and the weight bench can tip over if you are not careful.
