I am not a small person so I wanted to get something that would be reasonably sturdy because I am not trying to injure myself. After a couple of uses I've concluded that this roman chair feels pretty sturdy and I am hopeful it will work well.
This roman chair comes with 2 open end combo 14mm & 17mm wrenches to help you set up. It's fairly sturdy and should handle over 200 lbs. I'm 5'6__quote__ 175lbs and it fits me well and I get a good lower back workout. I really like the 1 piece pad so you can do side crunches comfortably.
