I put a pair of 2x4's with 1/2" plywood spacers across 2 joists (attic) and used a threaded eye bolt/locknut and a 3/4" plywood "washer" to hang a similar chair, and likewise on a "floating" corner of a loft bed, rather than a corner post to the floor... |

It depends on how large (diameter) the eye bolt is and how long it is, to have more than enough threads into the joist. I wouldn't trust or feel comfortable with a 1/4" eye bolt, which looks, to me, what that is. I vote: No. Sonny |

I vote: No. Sonny https://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-i...ad-Limits.aspx two 1/4" eye bolts (forged, fully closed eye, not home depot) should support a load of 1000 pounds. for non-forged (wire, i.e. not fully closed) eye bolts, the limit is 50# per each 1/4" |

"Safe" depends on what the maximum working load is going to be as well from a purely practical standpoint without consideration of any code-like rules... -- |
