I was told today by a PT that this was not meant to sit on that it would break - can you use as seat if you are non weight bearing on leg

Mine broke when I sat on it. I weigh 225 pounds. I also took out the bar that folds the thing up if you lift the seat (no way it is useful with that bar. Can't put things in the bag beneath the seat. Sorry for the wrong answer. The seat is plastic and will likely break. Poor design.

I weigh 200lbs and have had no problems using it every day as it was intended, sitting and laying down. Meaning, if I jumped up on down on it or ran across it, it would certainly break. Basically, it is a beach chair frame covered in foam and pleather.

If you feel stable it is probably ok, but I would not advise it. When the device has the long legs going down it is perfectly fine for sitting but not stable enough to stand on in my opinion. Also the padding on the horizontal piece does not provide a stable base for standing.

No, I would strictly use it to rest my feet or sit on. Does not open up for storage and I don't think it would support much weight if you stood on it.

I wouldnt advise it. I've sat in it a few times (im 110lbs) but I think it would break before long as its just particle board.

I wouldn't advise using this particular seat for that purpose. It's a great seat for many things, but it would be too unstable and not safe. This seat needs a flat surface to sit on and to be able to attach the hooks that helps hold it in place.

Your weight is irrelevant. You don't sit on it, just use your legs and petal.

I weigh150 lbs and can sit on it. You have make sure it sits on a steady ground. I probably will not use as a real bench. The legs are not steady.

I think it would be sturdy enough to be a seat, but as this is not its intended use, not sure if I would personally use it that way.

We use it as a foot rest and for storage. Storage capacity is great. I wouldn't use it as a seat.

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.

You are correct. It may be too high even when the seat is at it's top position, but I haven't tried that. I don't think it was built as a foot rest.

Hi Charlotte. According to the information on the product page, it will support up to three hundred pounds. I have recycled the box so I don't know if there is a difference between what manufacturers say and what Amazon says. I have no reason to distrust Amazon. Now, if you're over that weight, I am not sure if it is a matter of the legs not supporting it or merely that the seat will no longer rotate. Either way, I think I would go for something more solid for safety's sake. I really do like the stool so I hope you will be able to use it, too! Good Luck,Lynda

Sorry, don't know. I only weigh 112. And I don't use it as a seat. I use it as a back support for sciatica. Works great. Relieves all the stress in my back instantly. I keep one in my car and one at home.

Yes, my wife uses it and she is about 5 ft. Bear in mind that it is just a temporary use seat and that it doesn't allow too much weight.

YES. I broke this chair within a year; metal, plastic, the base just destroyed. I'm a big guy, 320. When I got it a piece was broken from the shipping.
