Are these really sturdy enough to be used as a bench like they have pictured on amazon?

They are very heavy duty. I do not have mine in use like that now, but plan on trying it soon.

I got mine months ago and sit on them all the time- they actually are the sturdiest ive seen and I searched high and low for an alternative. I was skeptical as well- but yeah im a big girl and they don't even squeak a protest when I sit my ample tushy down. :0)

I actually returned it because I had bought two from IKEA directly at the store and what I received from Amazon was yellow tinted like they were old so I sent them back. It didn't match my true white pieces. All IKEA pieces I have bought are sturdy though.

I put these in a high-end vacation rental home, so don't use them myself, but if I recall correctly they were pretty sturdy. They were heavier than what I have in my own house!

No they're very sturdy and stiff, I got them to use in a garment bag as I didn't want them bending either, or sagging through handling but they would work perfectly in the closet to hold heavy garments like jeans. Very good quality.

Dear Davis; To answer your question the best I can: well 'kinda', (Sorry to be so vague). The where purchased for my parents. They are sturdy, yes, I guess I'd refer to them as sturdy. After receiving them, I would certainly buy them again. I hope this helps. If you would like further information, please don't hesitate to ask.

Yes, they are quite sturdy. My brother is a large man and has sat in our chairs many times. No problem at all.

Absolutely, purchased these for my parents very sturdy and color is exactly as pictured.

Yes, they are very sturdy. I was very impressed with the quality. I poured liquid broth into them, then froze them in the freezer as ice cubes. Even with liquid in them, they held their shape perfectly.

Wow that is a good question. We bought two to use for our patio furniture cushions. So there isn't a ton of weight there in cushions. But based on the quality and construction I'd say yes. They are pretty well made. But with one comment. You may want to make sure the surface is totally flat. We have ours on dirt on somewhat uneven ground and that torques the base plastic and makes it hard to latch. Not the fault of the manufacture just the only place for us to put them. Also these are huge.

I think it could be sturdy enough if they are not more than about 8" tall. Otherwise, they'd probably tip over.

This bench is about as solid as they get. I think the manual said it can handle 480lbs; something like that. Decline angle is a little low and the stabilizers near the seat tend to get in the way. This will definitely not wobble though.

They are pretty sturdy. The whole thing weighs about 5.78 oz. I would call them heavy-duty.

They are pretty sturdy, especially when glued. Though I can't imagine they would be comfortable for larger person anyway.

Well, I haven't tested my two, but my husband and I, combined weight of 280 or so, can sit on it comfortably. These benches are quite sturdy---surprisingly so. I have noticed after a few months of outdoor use on an open patio that the bamboo is starting to crack, so I don't think they are long-lived for outdoor use but at the price you can afford to replace them occasionally.These are a great buy.

They appear to be pretty sturdy...slate tops and metal frames. I use them inside but you could have a problem with rust.

Yes it is a bench. It is very sturdy so I believe it holds up to 300 pounds.

Hey Angela I'm not sure about that but they are very sturdy and good quality. Kinda hard to put together but I hired a guy and he put them together with no problem.

I can't say for sure, but I think they are sturdy enough that it should be okay! I pounded mine in with a sledge hammer (gently).
