What is the load-bearing capacity of the chair?

Quality is one of the most important factors to take into consideration when buying chairs or any type of furniture. With functional furniture like chairs, quality is more important because you want the chair to be able to support the weight of the user. Otherwise, you could be at risk of injury or other damage. At Maka Furniture, we take quality seriously and all of our chairs undergo stringent testing to guarantee their quality.

One of the best ways to assess the quality of the chair is with its load-bearing capacity. Discover more about what the load-bearing capacity of our chairs is and how we can guarantee quality.

How much can our chair bear in terms of maximum weight?

All of the chairs that are manufactured by Maka Furniture undergo rigorous testing and quality standardization. This is to ensure that all of our products have our seal of quality and for the safety of the users.

Our chairs undergo a loading test after it has completed the manufacturing process. The test works by placing a specified load on the sample product being tested. The maximum load is left to sit for 24 hours to observe the overall quality of the chair.

After the 24-hour testing period, the load is removed and the chair is assessed for any signs of abnormalities or deformation to the structure. Other signs of damage such as cracks are also taken into consideration and noted if present.

The typical weight of the load that is used for testing is 1.5 times the weight of the tested object (a dining chair, in this case). As mentioned earlier, the 24-hour testing period is observed. In standard testing, the average load that is placed onto our dining chair is 180 kg.

After this testing period, we are proud to say that there are no signs of cracking, deformities, or any damage to the chair. In fact, the chair and its shape have remained intact even after testing, which shows its resilience to damage against its maximum load-bearing capacity.

The 180-kg load that was used for sampling is, therefore, the standard measure for the maximum weight that our chairs can support. This would be higher than the average weight of an average person. This means that our chairs at Maka Furniture are able to support the weight of individuals who are above the average human weight. You can rest assured that it will be strong and sturdy enough to support your body weight, even with regular use.

We have certifications from BSCI, BV, and various EN certificates.

Why is Load-Bearing Capacity Important?

The load-bearing capacity is defined as the maximum force or weight that is allowed for a specific object in any given situation. In terms of furniture or chair, it refers to the maximum weight that the chair can support without inflicting damage to the chair or causing harm to the user.

This is a very important factor to consider when buying chairs because it is a reflection of the chair’s quality. The higher the load-bearing capacity is, the more durable the chair. It showcases the quality of the material that is used that is able to withstand a significant amount of weight or impact without causing damage.

This is especially important if the chair will be subjected to a great deal of wear and tear. A good example of this is when you use a chair for commercial purposes. The chair will be subjected to regular use and various types of weight. It is important that the chair you invest in has a high load-bearing capacity to ensure that it can support the weight of every individual without breaking or cracking.

The load-bearing capacity of the chair also reflects its ability to distribute weight evenly throughout the joints of the chair. We have the SGS report to prove that our chairs have successfully satisfied the global standards when it comes to strength, durability, and safety. Our customers can view the SGS report upon request.

Other Ways to Ensure the Quality of Chair Before Buying

The maximum weight that the chair can bear is just one aspect to assess the overall quality and strength of this piece of furniture. There are also other factors that you may want to consider when buying.

First off, you need to look at the type of material used. Some materials are more resilient and durable than others. Make sure to look into the different types of materials currently used for the manufacture of chairs so that you can make the right choice based on the expected use of the chair and your budget.

The second consideration to ensure the quality of the chair you are buying is the manufacturing process. You need to research the manufacturing processes that the chair has gone through before it is delivered to you. The use of modern manufacturing tools will give you the confidence that the chair is well-built and that it is created in the skilled hands of experienced craftsmen.

And lastly, always look for the certification that would prove that the chair you are buying has completed and satisfied standard tests for quality. This will give you peace of mind that you are getting your money’s worth.
