Laminated and steam bent barstool in maple. It is stronger than what it seems. It has been tested with 350 pounds (150Kg) with no problems. The height is custom made, to seat in a 3,6 ft. bench.  


Design or Plan used: My own design - Diego Miscoria

In this stool I've used Titebond III. Stability is pretty good. If a really big person would order me one I would add one more layer of wood.... And for shure I would test it with at least double of his weight.

It would be interesting (but heartbreaking) to find the capacity of this chair and compare it to a conventional one. Even though the center of gravity and leg splay are major factors in stability, I wonder, does the forward leg angle reduce stability in forward rocking?
