How much weight can the bed accommodate? I wish for my husband and/or myself to be able to lay in bed with our daughter to read books.

I know it can handle at least 300 lbs. I spend time with my daughter every night for story time and "wind down" time as she starts to fall asleep. It has never felt wobbly or instable.

I got the bed for myself. When I first got it, I was close to 200 lbs. (145 now) My DIL has slept on it with her young son. I have slept in it with two huge cats (16 & 18 lbs) AND a large dog, a Ridgeback. My mattress is a Serta Gel memory foam not light weight. And yet, everything seems to be holding up VERY well! I am SO impressed with this bed! Yes, it think it will hold you, her stuffed toys, and lots of books! Oh, yeah, and your daughter, too!

This is my Dad's bed. He's about 6'6", 260. Big dude. I didn't think this would work for him but it does. Guess he's gotten used to his feet hanging off a bed. Can't say I'd advise taxing it much further though.

150? Maybe 200? I dont remember if it gave that in the instructions that came with bed but both my kids can sit and read together on the top without issue. Both their weight combined is under 150

There are several vertically placed slats that span the entire length of the bed making it sturdy. My husband and I both get in the bed with our son to read him stories before bed and we have never had any problems so I am sure it would easily accommodate an adult.

My wife is pregnant and weighs about 145lbs and she sleeps on the bottom bunk with our youngest which weighs roughly 45lbs. Hope that helps... For the price I would recommend this product but don't expect pottery barn quality.....

? If an adult is planning to stand on the furniture regularly, I wouldn't recommend it. But my 70lb daughter sits on it (albeit not right in the middle) fairly often and it doesn't seem to be a problem. It's basically like a thin (like a closet) door fastened between three bookcases. We have two for kids' bedrooms and love them.

Not knowing how large and heavy your book is, I just tried putting a 1500+ page hardcover book on my stand, and it seemed pretty much just as stable as with just a few pages of sheet music. I would however suggest: Putting the back leg pointed straight back (hopefully this makes sense), so it doesn't tip back, and for extra support on each side. I'd also suggest slightly offsetting your book, slightly more centering the weight distribution.

You will slip definitely slip. My husband and I both found that to be an issue. So much so, that we only use the upright position now for reading in bed and such.

I don't really know but we do have a bunch of books on the bottom shelf which are fairly heavy. We have a pair and really love them.

I'm 175lbs. It can handle 2 people, but doesn't feel very strong. It would also depend on the weight of your mattress. It's a minimalist bed.

Geesh, I really don't know. I'm 200 and my wife is probably about the same. This is a very sturdy setup, I imagine it could support quite a lot. I love my mattress!You might contact Serta, maybe they can tell you for sure.

I have a 2 lb Japanese text book, box of tissues, headphones, bag of hard candies, gameboy advance, nintendo 3ds xl, and the 3ds accessories and case in the pockets, so it weighs quite a bit... but it stays up pretty well. So I think books would be fine, as long as you make sure to get the flap far under the mattress. But if your mattress slides on your box spring, it will fall occasionally like mine does.

I'd recommend buying a separate bench that opens so you can store books inside. That what we did and no regrets. About $80.00

Hard to say. Might be too top heavy. Maybe if you put books on bottom shelf.

I can't give you an *exact* weight; we've had the bed for well over 18 months, and I'd guess any materials that did have that information are long gone. However, my wife, myself, and our son have all laid on it to read bedtime stories, so it's held a combined weight of approximately 300 lbs. (in addition to the weight of the mattress) and showed no signs of straining. I know that's probably not the answer you were looking for, but hopefully it helps.

Hello Yosora - Hello - I am not able to give you the weight capacity but can tell you the bed has met all the ASTM safety requirements for weight capacity. My understanding is the bed is tested with 400 pounds for a short period of time. This does not mean you should put 400 pounds on the bed. In general, beds that meet the ASTM safety guidelines have a recommendation of about 200 pounds of distributed weight per sleeping surface. Of course this will depend on many factors such as kids being kids and jumping up and down in one concentrated area or the thickness and quality of the mattress.
