A load figure the seller prints for the piece or for one part of it, such as a desktop or a seat.
The other figure is 330 LBS
, on a TRALT desk chair. Those are the only two load figures in the catalog, and they sit in two categories out of five.
A printed capacity is the seller’s statement. This site repeats it as printed. It does not confirm that a piece carries that load, does not estimate a load where none is printed, and does not read a missing figure as a lower one.
Shelves are where the silence is plainest. No bookcase, shoe rack or dresser listing gives a load for a shelf, a tier, a drawer or a top, although every one of them is sold to hold things.
BIFMA publishes test standards for office chairs and for desk and table products. None of the listings that print a capacity names a test or a standard next to the figure, so the site records the figure and nothing about how it was reached.
Counted across all five categories, because every piece here is sold to carry something.
