Is the lid sturdy enough to sit on (as a chair, not as a comode)?

It's OK for a child or lightweight person. I'm not sure I'd want to use it as a chair, though. It's not made for that and my guess is that it would weaken the lid over time.

As you can see in the picture, the lid is covering the comode which you sit on, so you should be able to sit on the lid as well. We don't have ours out in the open, therefore, there is no reason to sit on the lid of the comode.

Yes. I weigh 280 and stand on it to reach upper bunk. No problem sitting either.

Mine is sturdy and stable and stays put when sitting, but it's not heavy, so putting your weight on the back could tip it over. The hole is probably for positioning the chair while hanging onto something for weight support. So, I'd say "no".

Yes, it should be fine for that. I sit on mine regularly and it's very sturdy.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for an adult to sit on. I had it at the end of my bed; now I have it in my entry hall. Very versatile piece.

I would say so, its actually quite sturdy. We eat and drink on it sometimes so we don't put our feet on it but I would otherwise. Also, its okay to put drinks down without a coaster, no ring.

No, the top is not sturdy enough. It is too soft to set a drink down without something solid underneath. I do not recommend this ottoman, as the seams seem to split soon after usage.

It's flexible a little, and quite sturdy. Just be aware to have the opening in place, otherwise the lid can be off when you pouring the water

Yes, very solid, and you can sit on it with the lid closed. I got two to replace two old seats. They are great, and good price too.

Yes it would be sturdy enough, however you would need to be very careful about spills as it does not have a sealed finish and would probably stain fairly easily.

It's sturdy but there isn't as much room as you think. Make sure you read the measurements. I put it up to my dining table and it worked pretty well. It was about an inch lower than my dining chairs. It's for sure sturdy enough to sit on. Good luck.

I wouldn't trust them for that kind of use. They are sturdy, but if the weight distribution got off balance you could over pressure one of them causing the lid to pop off.

Yes, it is definitely sturdy enough to sit on for the average size person. It is a heavy, well built product.

Yes, it closes tightly, strong to sit on, stays shut. Only problem is the system that holds the lid in the back is weak and breaks easily. It is only screws that feel weak and rust.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a temporary sit-down of an average weight & size person. It was not designed for that, though.

My cats have, one at a time, rested on the lid with no problems. The lid is sturdy enough to support a twelve pound resting cat.

Yes the lid closes tightly and it stays shut. Has no latch. Yes is sturdy enough to sit on.If you are worried about putting it in the back of a pick up truck and the lid blowing up. Just put the side that opens away from wind direction. Its a great cooler. Ice lasts at least 4 days.
