Would this bench work as full time table seating?

Not sure we use it for seating in our living room. The cushion does flatten out when you sit on it but it returns to shape after. Hope that helps.

Yes I think so. I love them. I have 2 at the end of our bed. They're perfect

I would say no unless your table is extremely low. The intent of this bench is storage.

It probably wouldn't work particularly well as a dining table, because there are hinges on each side and the table might buckle somewhat under pressure. You really can't sit on it, for instance. Still, it could work if you were careful. You could put a piece of plywood underneath to give more support.

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

It's sturdy and we do sit on it from time to time, but I would not use it as a bench. Ours is filled to the top with toys without any issues.

Yes the height of the table works well for sitting and working. It is a little bit longer than a typical desk.

It won't provide comfortable seating, may be a bit too high. Also as you mentioned somewhat rounded top may prove uncomfortable. Short term seating and "in a pinch" seating would probably be OK.

If the area surrounding this bench is large it would be great! It is large and heavily padded. Keep in mind that the color is not dark brown , but is cordovan!

I weigh150 lbs and can sit on it. You have make sure it sits on a steady ground. I probably will not use as a real bench. The legs are not steady.

Yes but do you want to use it for a bench? It would not be very comfortable. It is very sturdy which is why I paid more for it.. It is great and looks as good as it is functional.

I would think so. Since I bought it to use as an exercise table, I was concerned only with setting it up in a permanent place. The delivery man brought it into the house for me and I was able to slide it into place. It is heavier than I thought it would be and I would find it difficult to transport from place to place, especially since I am limited in my ability to carry heavy things. Hope this helps.

Yeah, i don't think that would be a problem... the bench is very stable lengthwise, it rocks a little side to side but its still stable that way as well. I'd give it a test run to be sure but I'm traveling at the moment.

Yes, I think you could use it for dining as long (as the arms are lower than height of table). We use it for lounging around our fire pit. It's very basic, light weight. Kinda on the smaller side.

Hello, I have the benches for about 2 years now and lots of people have been using it. They are very versatile, solid and comfortable. You always can put some cushions on top of it.Thomas

It could work. You might want to add some padding between the seat and front of the bench to avoid pinched fingers. Also, the bottom is quite thin, so I wouldn't store anything too heavy in it. Shoes, clothes and stuffed animals should be fine.

I think it's versatile. It is wider than a bench so if you are looking for a standard bench storage you might not like it. It would be a great solution tho if you want to sit in comfort. I think Home Decorators catalog has some great shoe benches also.

This is a beautiful unit when the wood is stained. I would not recommend it for sitting on, even though it is more than study enough to seat an adult. In fact it could seat a couple of adults, but pay attention to the height of the unit. Their feet probably would not be touching the ground. If that does not make any difference to you, then it will certainly work for seating. I did not do any sanding with the wood and simply stained it a natural cedar color and it is beautiful and well designed.

I think so. It is a very solid and stable surface to work on. I use it as my everyday office desk top, not as a work bench, but I feel confident that this will work for you.
