The description for the extra risers (package of 2) say they support only 200 pounds. Is that a typo or are they flimsier?

From this manufacturer the extra risers (package of 2) supports 500 pounds.

I don't think they are flimsy, but i only weigh 114 pounds. They are comparable to the steps at the YMCA where i take classes.

One that I got which comes with the two risers can take more than 200lb. Manufacturers usually note that to protect themselves from lawsuits.

what do you mean? you could weigh one ninety and be fine....the risers are realitively light.

I purchased these for the front desks of the buildings I manage. They seem to be sturdy and the base is pretty heavy so they don't tip easily. Not sure what the weight capacity is but we have different sized adults all using them and they seem to be fine. Hope this helps!

I do not see how much weight they hold. What is the most weight the ramp will support?

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about.. I was able to use two sets, although it still wasn't high enough for me so I didn't use them for that long.

We bought the riser for my mother in law and it is rated to hold 250 lbs. If it were me, I would not chance it. I would find a little stronger one. Sorry.

I only know about the 2 it comes with. The two additional risers you see in purple make it pretty high (8inches). I don't use the 2nd one as 6 inches is suffucient for me. However if they sell these risers separtately you would be able to add them on.

You can use them to raise almost everything but I only used 2 each to raise my bed 2 inches. I would not use too many on nighstand. You can try and see how sturdy it will be. Mine are too low now but I just use them like they are. They will support the nightstands though. Hope this helps somewhat.

I don't really know but they are pretty stout. My husband is 200 lbs and they are very sturdy under him so imagine they would support quite a bit more.

they are short, just 2 in. But very stackable (although not very attractive). I'm using 2 side-by-side stacks of 6-8 risers in each stack to make a solid raised surface.

I found that the cross supports for the mattress that come with the bed are not very strong. When they say 200lbs, they may be referring to distributed weight because I broke one of the slats while putting sheets on the bottom mattress, putting my full weight (160lbs) on one knee to reach across. I didn't trust it for horseplay at that point, so I immediately bought this guest bed frame in full and twin sizes: Handy Living Twin Wood Slat Bed FrameI feel it's much safer having these on top of the original slats.

I have no idea how much weight they would hold, the manufacturer would have to answer to that question. But I will tell you that my bed frame, my two twin-size box springs with built-in wooden drawers PLUS the weight of my mattress PLUS the weight of two people approximately 300 lbs total and these risers don't budge. I've even taken a flying leap onto the bed, and NOTHING moves. The only thing you might want to consider? It's going to put your couch up pretty high. Aesthetically, it might look a little ridiculous. But the solid construction of these risers seems pretty sound to me. Hope this helps.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it...maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok.So, good luck.

I'm right at 200 pounds and have not had a problem, installed mine 5 years ago. I have yet to bend mine so far.

I think the legs that run down the middle are too close to use a riser on each and too far to use just one riser for both. Also the frame sits pretty high anyway you might not need them.

I think the bigger question is what are you going to mount them to and what your weight is. Mine is mounted to wooden studs and when I started using them, I was probably 220/230 lbs. I'm 206 or so now and have no issues at all. They're well built and good value for the money IMO.

They seem sturdy enough to support 20 lbs. each, but at 30 lbs. each, I would recommend setting the stand height at 24-30", or the lowest setting possible.At the higher settings, I don't think the base is sturdy enough to support that kind of weight without tipping over.Also, the thumb screw locking adjuster screws into a plastic collar, and may fail if there's too much weight on it.The speaker would also have to be centered perfectly, as the swivel base would probably tilt with that much weight on it.
