But that aside i highly doubt there's a market for wood rocking chairs rated to 600 pounds, two seater or one seater.

You would probably be surprised at what there is a market for, particularly since the girth of Americans is growing.

You are quite right. I would say that T has stumbled onto a business opportunity. A little creativity and a lot of persistence will make it a successful business.

Wood? Well, you certainly can start out with wood as a material. But of course there are lots of other materials that one can use to build rocking chairs from. The sky is the limit.

Do you have any cracker barrels around your house? They usually have rockers on their front porch for sale and I seem to remember some double seaters. Not sure what the weight limits are on them.

If it were me, I'd just put the 600 Pounds in the bank and let it support itself.

If one were to use metal supports in spots I would think that this chair would easily supprt 600 pounds! It's a nice design as well!

Status: offline 		Now that is a good question. I'm assuming that ,maybe based on some other seat type things i know of, like a shower chair for instance, 2000 230 maybe? I've never thought to hunt for a weight limit on rockers.

Cracker Barrel is a chain of restaurants: http://www.crackerbarrel.com/

They can be around $350 including shipping for the military ones (which donate some of the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project). Not sure what the weight limit is on them, and the site is only showing the one seat (and no dimensions).

And i don't know how to market or anything important like that, i just knew that i knew a few people like myself were plus size and would have loved ageplay clothing that was for fat people.
