Weight capacity isn't always the first thing people think about when choosing garden seating, but it seems especially important with suspended chairs. How much safety margin would you want between the stated maximum capacity and the people actually using the chair?

Bringing this one back up because I ran into the same question with my chair
I’d suggest leaving at least 20% extra room below the max capacity. Swinging adds extra force
Have you also checked what your ceiling mount can handle?
That’s usually the real weak spot

I usually go for a 20-30% safety margin over the stated maximum
For the single-person models, I trust the build quality I have seen in hanging egg chairs from that online shop, where I bought mine
Their frames feel sturdy and the cushions stay dry in rain, so I feel comfortable sitting with that extra buffer
