is this durable enough to be used as a seat?

Yes, mine is in my bedroom and I have it positioned near a window so I often use it as a window seat. My significant other also lounges on it while watching television and he's a pretty big guy.

Yes! Adults, kids & dogs sit on this to watch TV. Hold toys & blankets inside. Great quality!

Yes, very durable. I sit on mine every morning as I get ready for work. Very comfortable as well.

The unit is very rugged. It has survived two trips across country in small RV. I don't think the top doors would be sturdy enough for repeated use as a seat. It is a fairly thin gauge metal, plus the seals may not stand up to the extra weight. hope this helps.

I would say it definitely could be used as a seat, it has a 5-point harness to strap them in also.

I would say yes. My three and a half year old (almost 40 lbs.) can still comfortably sit in it.

It is durable enough for my daughter who is only 25 lbs and I think it should be good for a few years. That said, it is not the most durable piece of furniture so I don't think it would hold up well for bigger kids as I believe it was assembled with glue/tape and a few screws.

I have sat on it several times. I bought the 85 quart model. I believe it would be durable enough, just remember using anything other than its intended design falls upon you as to warranty issues.

Actually, yes! Surprisingly, I have used it as a seat/stool, with no problems supporting my 225 pounds ( wish I could say I weighed less).

It is pretty sturdy. Fine for sitting on. but if you have a wild child who pulls the cushion off and jumps on the fabric underneath, it will rip right through. I have had this set for a year now, and it's held up decently well. There are a few pokey spots-- little hernias inside the couch that create slightly uncomfortable bumps. But I have kids who jump on it. For the price, I think it's a good deal for what you get and it's liberating to know that if you have active puppies or kittens or children who will eventually grow out of their destructive phase, for now they are ruining furniture that would only last 3 years.

Yes I think it can be used as seating for sofa as the foam is not very thick.

It depends, if you are flying with it...it would get banged up pretty bad...but for backseat traveling it holds up pretty good.

Yes it's durable enough for office use. I wouldn't recommend it for 40 kids using every day like in a school. But for medium duty office use it is fine. Proper installation is key.

Hmm, I've never tried, but I suspect it's only for standalone use. We love it as a potty seat, though!

I would say it is strong enough for a bench- we have used it to sit on-very sturdy

I kind of doubt it would hold up for long term usage. It's comfortable enough and I use it as a bed for my great grand baby when she visits. It's pretty sturdy but continued use by an adult might be expecting too much.

The chair holds up well; the canvas seat is taught and sturdy, and is very durable overall. However, because the front legs are curved at the bottom, it has a tendency to tip forward when you go to sit down, which can be dangerous for unsuspecting clients. If the chair is more for your own personal use, then I think it will work nicely.

Hey sorry I haven't been cheking my emails lately. The chair itself is durable, just make sure you tighten those screws. As for using the chair outside where there is water, personally I won't do that. I bought this chair for aesthetic reasons for a mid century home in Palm Springs. Again, I cannot tell whether this is durable outside, but for inside use, it is not bad at all.

I would say yes definitely. It is very sturdy and has been used daily for many hours in my home. My father sits in it 6-8 hours a day and no issues.
