Is this storage chest safe enough to sit on? How heavy is it once filled?

I can even stand on it, and I'm 170 lb Of course it might be pretty much heavy, it depends what you are going to put in this storage chest :)

I think it would be ok for a child, but I am not sure it is designed for an adult to sit on, as the front legs are only about 7/8" thick.I only have tote bags in it, so it is not too heavy. I guess if you put toys in it or something like that, it might weigh 40 or 50 pounds.

Yes its a great chest for kids very safe as well. The only issue is that it is small but for the money it is well worth it

It holds reasonable weight. My four year old can sit on it and read. The storage is sort of wimpy. We just put barbie stuff in it, so it works, but if you want reasonable toy storage, it does not hold that much.

Its a pretty sturdy storage bench. We have it at the end of our king sized bed. My husband & I use it to sit on to put on shoes or dress the kids. I weight about 155lbs and he weights about 210lbs. He has also stood on it to change a light bulb...which worried me...but it held up all his weight just fine.

I haven't sat on it. I keep my grandsons' toys in it. I'm not sure if it would be strong enough to be sat on. Someone that doesn't weight much would do ok, but anyone that is heavy, I wouldn't suggest it.

We have not loaded it with very much weight and I am not an engineer so I do not feel comfortable giving it a weight rating. It is fairly sturdy for a vertical load of maybe a few books and knick-knacks or pictures but I would not plan on using it to store ingots of lead or gold.

It is a bench, so it should hold weight, I am on the heavy side, so I wouldn't chance it, but then I didn't buy it for that, it is a storage for my crafts.

For storage inside, we have it loaded with about 40 lbs of books and magazines. It is solidly built and could handle much more. For sitting on, it has had no problem with anyone up to 250 lbs.

Probably no more than 10-15 lbs realistically. It's more of a decorative shelf than for heavy storage

I dont know the weight, but i can tell you the box was way bigger than needed. The actual pieces were about half or less full. Also the box is deceiving. I thought it would be a good storage chest, bit the way it opened it is not savable...

It is very sturdy. My husband and I have sat on it together (400 lbs total) with no problem.

It is pretty solid...an adult should be fine to sit on it. The back side panel of the storage bin is that flimsy type "cardboard-like" material - it's hard but does flex....but the top, base, sides and inside dividers are particle board and about 1/2" thick. I bought one of each - the two bin and the three bin and they are stacked on top of each other. Hope this helps.

I would not put over 200 pounds on top of it. I would not pack it with books or things that heavy. My best guess is that it was designed for blankets and such. There should be no problem being stuffed with that.

I have sat on mine but very carefully. I knew that it was not super sturdy so I was careful. Your guests may not know and my end up on the flow. I under mine as a bench for my dogs so they can see out the window. And it is great for storing extra blankets. I thought there was a weight limit for sitting listed on the item when I purchased.

I'm not sure exactly how much, but I have stored several fairly heavy cast iron pots/pans, glassware, etc. It feels very, very sturdy. If we're talking like 100+ lbs, I have no idea. For everyday storage, it should hold up very well!

It is heavy but can be carried by one person. I would bolt it or not use at all as a safe.

It's certainly is strong enough to support a person. I weigh 250 pounds and I sat on it without fear that it would break.Actually due to the depth of the box the curved top makes it more comfortable to sit on.

The box in itself is very lightweight. That being said, I assume it would be slightly heavy to carry but not impossible. However, it is made from a dense foam material and I'm not sure of the filled capacity weight limits to prevent breaking if not supported under a very heavy weight.
