Is this strong enough for a grown man to put his weight on it (lying on it for a back massage)? I have broken some cheaper options by lying on them.

I agree with Emily ... I think it would be way too painful to put your full weight on this model. I know some people have had great results but my wife found it pretty painful to use and very cumbersome to use sitting upright in a chair for neck massages. We sent ours back.

I don't believe it is designed to lay on them, I simply sit on a chair or couch and lean against it without applying to much pressure. Hope that helps

I don't know but when I put my forearm in between to try to get the knots out, the machine stopped. This is just my forearm. You can try, but make sure you can return it.

I've been using this every day for 3 or 4 months now , and it works great! I had one just like it for almost 10 years, It's worth every penny! !

It is very strong and it works real well just sitting in a chair that has a solid back (I use my recliner) and lean your back into it. You can lean in for what ever pressure works the best for you. It is great!

It works well for a neck massage I don't believe it is meant for a back massage

The best way to use it is setting in your soft back chair, let it start at your neck, then let it slowly working down your back between you and the chair, it Haven.

I've been able to lay on it on my bed to get a back massage but I think it would be painful to put all your weight on it laying right on top. I usually half lay on my side.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for an adult to sit on. I had it at the end of my bed; now I have it in my entry hall. Very versatile piece.

If the adult is 170 lbs or less it would work. The slats flex on me, I am 195 lbs. the corners can handle the weight.

This can support 200 pounds. My friend is close to that weight and he was on it before. What it can't support is anyone rocking their body up and down or side to side. If you start any many movements on this then no matter who much the weight it felt like it was gonna break.

I think the height of the back would work for you. It might not reach all the way to the base of your neck, but it would be pretty darn close. I am over 200lbs and have not had a problem with the massage portion, although, I do not use it for more than 15-20 min at a time. Hope this helps.

I weigh 165 and I just use it as an aide with another floating device close at hand. I don't think it would just flat out hold up my weight.

Yes, you can lean back on it, it does hold. However, it would be low on an adults back. Depending on height, it would be lower back to mid range. I am 5'2" and find it very comfortable and sturdy for movie watching.

I use it for my lower back sparingly. I'm around 200 lbs and can't fully lean on it without the motors stopping or slowing . But I like really deep tissue massages . It will work , just don't push back super hard . Power supply: comes with home plug , and a car plug.

My husband weighs about 180 lbs & I have gotten up on the table with him in order to adjust his back - being able to use more of my weight plus being directly square to his back. This would mean the table is holding close to 340 lbs without collapsing. I don't do that very often but this hopefully gives you an idea of the weight it can support. It is a sturdy little table & we do love it. It definitely makes more comfortable for the one giving the massage rather than trying to bend down over the bed or couch. Hope this helps :)

It will hold him, but the back is so low, I wouldn't call it comfortable. I'm 340 and it holds me just fine. Seems very sturdy.

It will definitely support your body weight. But the most important if it feels comfortable to sit on. I had tried different shapes and kinds before I found the one that works for me.

If you mean to use it for your head, I wouldn't recommend it, it is very firm (hard). I use it for a butt cushion in an office chair. I'm overweight and it supports me.

It seems that it would be strong enough but no one has tried. Bought this for my grown son who is very happy with it.

I don't know about the strength of the device but question the advisability of someone that heavy balancing and getting up and down from the sitting position. I'm 180 and find it a little challenging keeping the device steady while siting down.

quite sturdy.... I am a 265 lb guy and I can climb over it and wiggle around and turn around with no problems or creeks or moans and my wife puts almost all her weight on me when doing some massage positions and so far no collapses.

My experience with the box is that it is strong enough to hold the weight of average adults. Ours has not been used as a seat by anyone who was overweight, so I do not know if that would put too much stress on the box. I have stood on the box several times in order to reach something and the box was quite sturdy.

Yes it is strong enough to support adults. I have to test everything and immediately got on the top bunk after assembly. It does wiggle a little bit but that is expected with a metal bunk bed. I am 6foot1 and 225lbs.
