Ensuring your furniture can safely support weight is essential for both its longevity and your safety. By understanding your furniture's weight capacity, you can prevent potential damage and ensure it continues to function as designed. Below is a guide to the approximate weight capacities of Coastwood's NZ-made furniture. While minor exceedance is unlikely to cause immediate failure, consistently surpassing the recommended limits could compromise the structural integrity of your furniture.
Weight Limits for NZ-made Beds
Crafted from solid pine or ash timber, our NZ-made beds offer a sturdy foundation. The weight capacity of our beds varies depending on size and their construction. Here's a breakdown of recommended weight limits:
- Single Beds: 150kg
- King Single Beds: 150kg
- Double Beds: 220kg
- Queen Beds: 250kg
- King Beds: 280kg
- Super King Beds: 280kg
- Bottom Bunks: 130kg
- Top Bunks: 120kg
- Loft Beds: 125kg
Avoid jumping on your bed, as it temporarily increases the force placed on the bed due to acceleration, potentially exceeding the weight capacity and putting unnecessary strain on its structure.
Weight Capacity for NZ-made Dining Chairs
Our NZ-made dining chairs, built with solid pine or ash timber and reinforced with mortise and tenon joints, have a weight limit of 140kg. To ensure optimal durability, please use the chairs correctly.
To care for your dining chairs:
- Sit down gently from the front, spreading your weight evenly.
- Avoid coming in from the side or leaning back on the chair, as these actions can cause stress on the frame, risking damage.
The mortise and tenon joint is among the strongest in furniture construction. If the frame breaks but the joint remains intact, it's likely due to misuse, and this would not fall under warranty.
Imported Product Weight Limits
For our imported products, which are made from various materials and sourced from different suppliers, please check each product's specific weight capacity. This information can be found on the individual product page under the "Features" section.
Final Considerations
While the provided weight capacity guidelines are generally accurate, actual limits may vary based on specific use and treatment of the furniture. If you're unsure or have further questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Your safety and satisfaction are our priorities.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your furniture performs at its best, providing lasting comfort and reliability.
