can you tell me if an overweight person would be able to sit on this stool for several hours because they have problems standing for long periods of

I don't think so. They are great for short periods of time. But, the seat is not big and several hours for an overweight person would be a bit much.

My husband is large and sat on it, but there are verious types of large. I am sure there is a weight limit on the seat. They are made for large people If is sits well on the toilet it is placed on it should not be a problem. You might call the maker.

I do not think it would be comfortable for hours. It is not thick enough. You might want to upgrade. Also I would recommend a stool with the ring around the bottom to rest your feet on.

No, not with regular use. ocational use by persons up to say 250#s might not effect perfomance, but continued use would lead to break down. Would recommend commerical grade stools as a better investment .

It can tolerate heavy weight. It won't allow very fat people to sit. Check the dimensions before you buy.

The cushion is not very thick, but doesn't bottom out ie you cannot feel the hard surface that the cushion sits on. I can comfortably sit on it for a few hours at a time. I dislike the seam around the top edge that can get irritating if you tend to sit on the edge of the stool.

The walker I purchased has been used for many months by a 5'-2" woman with no wobble problem. I also made a "wobble" comment, warning that an unusually tall and heavy person could have stability issues.

It is not that high, so you should be able to with an adjustable stool. In fact I am going tomorrow to do this tomorrow as I am getting tired of standing

I am upwards of 250 and I find it great and it definitely helps my bu** and back using it, I would typically have to stand up every 15-20 minutes sitting on the hard bleachers.

The stool is supposed to hold up to 600 pounds. I'm not as heavy as you, but I'm heavy. It should hold your weight. Not knowing your height or the height of your bed, I can't really say whether it would help you getting into your bed. I use it to reach my higher kitchen cabinets. I'm 68 with 2 hip replacements and needed something sturdy that I wouldn't go tumbling onto the floor! Both feet fit squarely on it. I suppose you could purchase it and return it or resell it if it didn't work for you. Good luck.

I really don't know. I have sat for 30 minutes and had no problems. I use mine for sewing so there is a lot of up and down movement.

I would think so. Over time I would wonder if they would be comfortable enough for more than a couple of hours at a time because the seat is not very wide. For 130lb to 200lb these seats can be sat in for hours!

Have not tried. The stool is stable when the person is stable. Please consider using a plastic chair. Rust could become a problem drainage, etc.

No, wouldn't work. We bought adjustable stools of the same brand and they are perfect for short and tall users. Love them!

I would say no. If you are talking about an average high counter where the person standing behind it is about waist to chest high, then the stool would not expand high enough to see over the counter.

Believe it or not, I weigh 400 lbs. and it holds me just fine. This is a very, very sturdy stool, very well-made and also beautiful!

Yes, the quality of the stools are very good! I sit on it comfortable and very stable even I am weighing 220 lbs. I have no problem so far after several months.
