How much weight can it hold? Can people sit on it and use it as a bench?

Do not know how much weight it can hold. Do know two adults at or near 200 pounds each have utilized it at the same time. Has held up during those times of use and is looking good! Hope this helps!

To be honest, I'm not sure how much weight it can hold (not sure if you mean in it, or on it?). I currently have 4 stacks of folded clothes in it (waiting for a new chest of drawers to arrive) and it's no problem. I'm 200lbs. and I sit on it all the time while putting on socks and shoes. Feels sturdy. However, it's at the foot of our bed and used as an accent piece rather than in a living room where it would be used to sit on more regularly, so...?

We use it as a toy chest so we store toys in it. Not sure the weight but it is hollow. People can sit on it.

So far, it's handled at least 200lbs sitting on it without making any sounds of stress or cracking.

Not sure exactly how much it can hold but we sit on it all the time. It is very sturdy and we are very happy with it.

Yes people can sit on it, it is very strong, my son weights 305 pounds, him and his wife and 2 small children have set on it, and it supported them very well. This bench is not very heavy but it is very strong and has a deep storage compartment. My family is very satisfied with it.

Yes, people can sit on it but it does tend to crackle if the weight is over 250.

It seems to be pretty sturdy. My 6 year old and 3 year old grandchildren like to play inside it and we sit on it as well. Very functional and looks nice.

My husband's weight is 220 and he uses the bench on a regular basis, but we feel that it will hold up to more than that, up to probably 275-300. It's very sturdy.

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.

Yes, you can sit on it however it is make of hard resin plastic so I wouldn't plan on using it permanently as a bench

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.

My grandchildren sit on it. That's one reason I bought it. It would probably hold 150 lbs on occasion, but it wouldn't hold up to that for long.

Hi there... I use it as a dining room buffet so not sure if it can hold the weight... I think it could but couldn't say for sure...

The bench is solid and heavy enough for normal sitting. I would not suggest using it if you expect kids to play/jump etc. on it.

I've had 250 lb. people sit on it with no problem. I don't know what the maximum weight is. The price is for one chair only. Once it was assembled, it was a beautiful and practical chair, but getting it assembled was REALLY hard, since the hardware wasn't machined properly. Only get this chair if you are really handy at putting difficult things together.

I agree. It is very sturdy and I was thinking the same thing 2 or 3 200-250 people should be fine. Doesn't seem to give when my husband and I sit on it to put on shoes etc.

Yes indeed it can hold more than 150lbs. My family and I are big people, our weight range from 180 to 250 and we all sit on this bench daily to put on our shoes. It's very sturdy and strong.

The bench is solid and sturdy enough to sit on-- depends on the weight of the adult. I weigh a little over 200 lbs. and can sit on it. I wouldn't want to sit on it for a long time because it's narrow; but to take off shoes, etc. I would.

I'm not sure how much weight it can hold but I think it would be fine for what you are interested in. Very sturdy and also nice looking.

I had people sitting on it who weigh around 190-200 pounds. it worked pretty well for them.

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

My husband weighs 220lb. The bench is very sturdy, I imagine it would hold more!

It can easily hold up to 230 lbs. person though not sure for how long. Never had to test that theory for long. My husband has sat on it for at Least an hour on numerous occasions and it is still holding up very nicely. The only issue I've had so far is the feet pegs have broken off. Hope this helps.
