Russ, this has come up several times in the past - I was told by Peter at SMW the electric penthouse tops would handle 200lbs, then a year or so later I found a sticker in my binder which stated the" recommended weight limit not to exceed 150lb".
I currently have about 150lbs on it now for the last 7 years with no issue...but I do lube all of it yearly (as a precautionary measure to keep it running smoothly).
As far as the Bed, We've had 350+ on our two=piece upper bed numerous occasions with no problem, But I (as another member mentioned) considered adding a piece of 3/4" aluminum angle to trim the 4 outer edges of my platform...just never adopted the project for fear of tearing up the fabric which covers the channel...which would then instigate 'another project'.
