Is this durable enough to be used as a seat? How much weight can it support?

This one is very durable. It can hold at least 196 lb ( my husband). We also use it as a step stool very often. It is a really good quality piece.

I'm very large (well over 200 lbs) and I sit on it everyday when I get my daughter dressed. (I don't know why I just do). I've never questioned its ability to hold up to my weight.

Yes it is very durable, as for how much weight it can support, I am not sure. I do know my mother in law has four throws in it with plenty room for additional stuff. She is truly enjoying hers...it's a good buy at a good price.

You should be fine - it hold up to 250 lbs. Seat Dimensions 18" (W) x 18" (D)

From the description "Weight capacity is 400 pounds." It is very sturdy and the legs are held by sockets that are part of the one-piece seat casting. It IS plastic, so keeping out of direct sunlight will probably keep it from deteriorating.

It's not durable. I hadn't even owned mine for a year and now the armrests are crumbling and the seat back won't stay locked, it always rocks now. As far as weight capacity, I'm 220ish, so if it can't handle me for more than a year, I definitely wouldn't recommend this.

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.

I used it as an alternative seating bench while watching tv this Christmas. I'm certain it can hold 2 people over 130 lbs very well. It isn't high enough for table seating though.

My husband weighs about 255, and its held up his weight no problem. The only reason I would look at something else, is my two bar stools that I purchased only lasted about one year. The legs cracked, they wouldn't spin hardly any more, and the cushion after sitting in it for 30 minutes would eventually start to hurt your butt because it was like it deflated or something. Do not recommend. My husband only sat in the one 99% of the time, and the other hardly ever got used by our son, and they both were either severely defective, or junk.

When ingot this I had been in a car accident and weighed less than m normal weight which was previously 130 but my mom could also sit in the chair and she weighs much more than me. I think as long as it is set up right it won't just break on you. It is very sturdy despite it shaking at times. We still have it and we store random things on it and its still holding up preety good. I hope this answer is useful.

My experience with the box is that it is strong enough to hold the weight of average adults. Ours has not been used as a seat by anyone who was overweight, so I do not know if that would put too much stress on the box. I have stood on the box several times in order to reach something and the box was quite sturdy.

I think it would be sturdy enough to be a seat, but as this is not its intended use, not sure if I would personally use it that way.

We use it as a foot rest and for storage. Storage capacity is great. I wouldn't use it as a seat.

I believe the weight limit is 300 lbs. I weigh 160 and I sometimes put most of my weight on more of the outside edge of the seat..... I'm not always just centered on the entire seat cushion.... So I wondered how it would hold up, and it has done great!

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a temporary sit-down of an average weight & size person. It was not designed for that, though.

Hi Charlotte. According to the information on the product page, it will support up to three hundred pounds. I have recycled the box so I don't know if there is a difference between what manufacturers say and what Amazon says. I have no reason to distrust Amazon. Now, if you're over that weight, I am not sure if it is a matter of the legs not supporting it or merely that the seat will no longer rotate. Either way, I think I would go for something more solid for safety's sake. I really do like the stool so I hope you will be able to use it, too! Good Luck,Lynda

Although it is intended as a child's stool, I bought it for myself (130 lbs) and it holds my weight without a creak. It is very sturdy.

Sorry, don't know. I only weigh 112. And I don't use it as a seat. I use it as a back support for sciatica. Works great. Relieves all the stress in my back instantly. I keep one in my car and one at home.

Yes, we've had for a year and a half and it's quite sturdy-I sit on it all the time :) could probably support two adults with no problem.
