Can it be used as a bench? What is the weight capacity?

I weigh 130 and feel safe sitting on it. Don't know what it would be rated for, but it's pretty sturdy.

For someone small and light it may be possible but I'm not sure it would hold up to repeated use as a bench. I put a blanket on top and the cats use it as another sleeping area.

No it can't be used as a bench but is good for light things recall not meant to hold a lot of weight.

Besides the arm rests and high backrest, I guess it could serve as a bench. It's strong enough for several normal peoples weight.

It's pretty low - a comfortable bench. However, I believe it could handle a lot of weight, so if your set is big, go for it!

No, it cant be used as a dining table bench because it doesn't have the height however it is extremely robust.

This bench is very sturdy, but I doubt it would hold that much weight. Check the info from the manufacturer for weight limits. There is a larger bench advertised, so you might want to compare with that one as it may hold more weight.

yes u can use it for that, as long as u don't go over the wt limit (u + lifting wt) the bench has a 400-450 limit

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.

This bench is about as solid as they get. I think the manual said it can handle 480lbs; something like that. Decline angle is a little low and the stabilizers near the seat tend to get in the way. This will definitely not wobble though.

I submitted an answer previously indicating that I did not know the weight restriction. I can sayhowever that it is a sturdy and well made bench. I would guess that it could support up to 225 to250 pounds.

Allegedly the bench is made for sitting or to be used as a table. If you have items inside the bench to support the weight, I would say it could take up to 150 lbs; however, without the support I would only trust 20-30 lbs of weight.

Yes, this bench fits two people very comfortably. I would imagine it can hold 300 - 350 pounds. It should state in he description.

I suppose you could, I'm not sure how well it would hold up to weather extremes, it wasn't built to be anything other than shoe storage, it won't hold much weight as a bench for heavy objects. I'm very happy with it so far.

Hi Bob, It seems to be a quality piece....and like you I can't find any specs on weight limits. I think it would take at least 350 lbs. per bench with no problem. Bob.

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

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.

It is not intended to be used as a tub bench for transferring a person from outside the tub to inside the tub. The person would need to be able to step into the tub or sit and bring legs into the tub for use. I don't think it would be stable for use in the way your are suggesting.

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