I am interested in the weight of the chair (don't want it to blow of the porch in the wind) as well as the thickness of the wood. How sturdy?

Hello,I don't think the chairs would blow of your porch, unless it was a hurricane. They are sturdy. Good value for the price.

This chair is very well made. I bought two of them, and I'm planning on getting another two this year. I think the Amish made them! There is no way this chair will move in the wind--it is heavy and quite sturdy. We had them outside during a tornado warning last week and they didn't move. Wood is thick and seems hand-crafted. And it folds! Good luck!

Hi Bonnie, I love the chairs, they are on our porch. They are heavy enough, they will not blow away. They are comfortable to sit in and relax with your head leaning back on the backrest. I guess the boards are about an inch in thickness. They were easy to assemble and fold up to store for the winter. They are unfinished wood, we stained and varnished with a sealer to protect them. We are pleased with them. I would order a few more.

They will not blow away in anything less than a Hurricane. I believe they weigh ~22 lbs each, on sturdiness scale, I am nearly a 300 pounder and they can take all I have and more. They are made with a hearty cedar, so lighter that a true hardwood, but worth the money for me.Best Regards

The chairs are very sturdy and made very well. We are happy with the purchase.

average weight...arms and legs are like 2x4s..now the seat slats are way flimsy..mine came with one slat broken and I re-glued it. This is not as study as the ones I have seen before. My main problem was comfort..dunno why, but maybe all Adironacks have slightly different angles and this one hurt my back. I learned buying chairs online is like buying shoes online, you really don't know they will fit until you try them out

Those chairs are made with wood, they're heavy. Your concerned got my curiosity; found out that each chair weighs 20 pounds. My chairs have been in my outdoors porch for 8 months, time during which there have been fast moving storms with wind gusts reaching 35 to 40 m/h, and they have not been moved by the wind. Of course they will be coming indoors if/when a hurricane hits south Florida.

Fairly heavy. I doubt a "normal" wind would blow it away. It does fold nicely, making it easy to put away. I would not recommend buying this chair though... the wood is extremely soft. When the bolts are tightened up, they sink into the wood. Over time, you must repeatedly tighten the bolts, and they sink further and further. Eventually, they pull through the wood. I've had mind about two years and they are finished. I have already thrown away the foot rest and the side table. I will be tossing the chairs as soon as I find new, acceptable chairs.

The legs, arms, and sides are "2-by" material while the rest is 3/4" stock. They should stand up pretty well against wind gusts. I made them a little sturdier by screwing down the rear block (for the folding mechanism) to the side rails. I don't really need to fold them for storage where I live.

The box and materials on the website provide 430 lbs as the weight limit. My father pushes 300. It handles him very well. I can say that during assembly, the components were well made and heavy duty. It is heavy and well made. It appears to be a chair that will hold up much better than those purchased at box stores. My father spends about 3 to 6 hours a day in the chair. He has not had any complaints as of yet.

They aren't particularly heavy, but are heavier than composite material chairs. Ours are on a deck and have never blown over.

I don't know what the official rating is, but it's a very hard and dense wood and it seems like it could withstand well over 200lbs. The seat width is pretty average.

It's pretty sturdy. My husband weighs around 250 lbs and I'm around 115 lbs. We swing in it together. Don't know if I'd put 2 really big guys in it. We have been happy with it.

i have no idea, but it is sturdy. I think it is a little heavy to be carrying back and forth to the beach, but if used in the patio it would be fine.

Very Very sturdy. Good for 400 pounds or more. It is not a big chair though.

It's heavier than some of the high dollar aluminum frame chairs. But my wife is able to lift it in and out of the car without too much problem.

The reason I bought this chair was because it is heavy weight and wouldn't break. I had one break on me and I didn't want that to happen again. It's made of wrought iron. I think it could support a quite heavy person WELL over 200 pounds with no problem at all. I weigh 200 and it works fine and I have no worry that it would collapse on me.

These chairs are very sturdy Not sure on the weight capacity but I have had people weighing close to 300 pounds sitting on them with no problems. I think they are a cherrywood

Laurie the legs are very sturdy..wide not really sure. It was very easy to assemble and it is not very heavy (to lift). It does withstand some pretty heavy winds. We really have enjoyed ours and are getting ready to put it up again. The overall construction is good. I feel it to be a good value and would buy it again.

It is actually very sturdy, assuming you assemble it carefully at the beginning. I weigh almost 150 pounds and sit on mine all the time to put on my shoes (we use it in our utility room to hold our outdoor shoes). Scrapbooks and DVDs should be no problem.

We didn't have any problems with assembly. It was very sturdy. We did treat the wood with teak oil prior to assembly. It is holding up nicely. We have it in a covered patio, so it isn't exposed directly to the weather.

The chair is made of woven cotton fibers. I have a similarly constructed large hammock that has hung for many years on a roofed porch that is screened on all 4 sides and it is holding up well. My new blue hanging chair is on a similar small porch and I expect it to be pretty durable as well.Judith H.

I believe the specs said 250 lbs. but not sure. I think the chair could handle at least that - it's a nice sturdy piece of furniture.
