Could this bench hold up a 350 pound man, putting his shoes on?

It's pretty sturdy. I've got 3 kids who climb all over it and it's held up well. I guess it would depend upon whether the gentleman sat down and put on his shoes, then got back up again, or if he used it as a stepstool to climb up to a higher shelf (partial-weight, stable mass -vs- full weight, moving mass). I would say -probably.-

It's made of particle board and doe have a few weak pieces. I wouldn't think it old fair well with a 350 pound person.

I don't think it's sturdy enough for that. Its good quality but still not real wood.

probably, especially if you sat on the bench over the center supports. I am 225lb and I can stand on it with no worries

Just googled to double check - this site's specs say the weight limit is 200 lbs (not sure if link will work in here) http://www.fingerhut.com/product/Home/Tools-Equipment/Storage-Workbenches/Cynthia-Storage-Bench/pc/27101/c/25305/sc/25347/QN867.utsIt's sturdy enough for someone over that to sit on to take their shoes off or something, but probably not for daily use. The interior storage area doesn't seem super strong. For a decorative piece, this works great for us, but if you are looking for something to sit on regularly, I'd say get something else.

I don't think it would be sturdy enough. I have a martha stewart bench that has shoe storage by my door. Got it in Home Depot.

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.

If you are short, yes. It is very short and wobbles because of the weak connections to the base. This bench is not good for what it was made for. If there is anything a workout bench should be it's sturdy.

The machine I purchased said it could hold 350 pounds. I would not rec anything over 300.

Yes. The bench is very heavy and well built. Has to be flipped to lower or raise legs.

We just use it for extra clothing storage or linen. We sit on it to put shoes on, my husband is 220 , we haven't had any issues. I wouldn't go standing on it though!

Company says bench will hold 700 lbs. but after assembling it I would say it will hold 400-500 lbs.

Two mounts per side. I weigh 200 lbs and feel some give when I step on them. I can't say how it would handle 350 lbs, but I couldn't say with great confidence that it would be fine with that much weight. Better check with the the manufacturer.

I have shoes on these shelves. I guess it would depend on how you have the unit attached, to walls or free standing units . Im sure they could hold more than 50 lbs easily.

Kevin, If the bench is installed into the center of wood wall studs, it will hold 300 lbs.

ours it sturdy, and several people sit on it daily to put on and remove shoes for a few months now. It isn't 'forever' furniture, but seems sturdy enough for the short term.

It would, but a lot of space is taken up by this piece. If it isn't going to show, I'd put the shoes in one of the less expensive, thinner chrome racks, also available from Amazon.

YES! I use this strictly for shoes! I think it's perfect. It didn't take me long to assemble either. ;)

It's sturdy enough but it might be a little small top to bottom for boots. If they fit that way you can fit two pairs of bots on each shelf. I keep two pairs of men's shoes side by side and one pair doubled up on each shelf.

Allegedly the bench is made for sitting or to be used as a table. If you have items inside the bench to support the weight, I would say it could take up to 150 lbs; however, without the support I would only trust 20-30 lbs of weight.
