Is the ottoman strong enough to hold someone sitting on it?

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.

The Ottoman is plenty strong enough, it's just hard, in fact the whole couch is hard, it's the most uncomfortable piece of furniture I've ever sat on in my life. In fact it's the worst thing I've ever bought on Amazon, no it's actually the worst thing I've ever bought in my life. I don't sit on it, my dog destroys the thing, I don't even care about it. In fact every time I walk by this thing I swear at it or make obscene gestures.

Yes, you can definitely sit on it. It is quite sturdy and of excellent quality. It is a beautiful ottoman, and very purposeful for storage, as well as seating. I only wish it came in tan or brown---I would buy it again in one of those colors. I absolutely love it!

My ottoman measured 14.5 inches tall without legs. The frame is strong enough to sit on. I have been using this ottoman well over a year and it is still in excellent condition.

No. The top cushion is attached to the base. It is not removable, or doesn't lift up, to provide storage inside the ottoman.

Hard to answer - I would say yes, but depends on size of adult. It is lower to the ground than a traditional chair/sofa so that may bother some people. We purchased low (14" high) poufs to use as ottomans and it is very comfortable. Not a chair that u sink into, much firmer than perhaps a bean bag, but it is probably only high density foam

Yes. They are very comfortable and durable. When she is finished she can use the large ottoman to store her belongings.

I've sat on it without any problems. I'm approx 140 lbs. It does seem like its well made and could accommodate a little more. Its a lovely ottoman and just as expected. The only thing that people should know is that "light blue" isn't the correct term for this blue. Its more like the picture or with a little more teal than the picture.

I'm not a metal expert or anything, but I would have to say, yes. However, it is crazy strong, if that is your concern. Our chair has been used for many people, now, and it's been plenty sturdy and everyone has felt secure. It's held up very nicely over the years.

The benches and ottoman is sturdy for a one year old to sit on. However, the benches should only be used as a foot rest for adults. A friend of ours who is about 145lbs sat on one of the bench and cracked the woods.

No. -and IMO it is certainly not comfortable for hours of reclining even with an accompanying ottoman. This is a fairly rigid chair best used as a decoration that is occasionally used by guests to visit for an hour or less. (I use two of them and 2 ottomans to round out my library room opposite a love seat... little use except for guests, but very classy looking.

Yes, you can sit on the ottoman. However, you just need to be careful when you first sit down because the rocking mechanism moves the ottoman very easily. But the ottoman itself is sturdy enough. During night feedings for our twins I would sit in the chair and my husband would feed while sitting on the ottoman. I love everything about this chair, it was so comfortable all through my pregnancy and I still use it now (kids are a year old now).

It's not durable enough for sitting... It can hold some weight but I wouldn't recommend it. It is great for storing winter/summer bedding which is what I use mine for.

It would not be a sufficient seat. Definitely too flimsy to trust it to hold a person's weight. Useful if you're looking for an inexpensive small table for an outdoor setting (i.e. balcony).

I haven't truly tested its capabilities. My 4 & 8 year old were on it at the same time with no issues. I have a large tray on it and use it as a coffee table so there's not much weight put on it. It's a lovely piece and I always get complements on it. I highly recommend this as a coffee table, but not as a peice of furniture to be sat on a regular basis. Sorry I can't be more help.

It is very sturdy. I have sat on it and if it holds my weight it will hold just about any thing.

My 53 lb. 7 year old son sits on it sometimes, it holds him up pretty well, lol. We tend to pile a lot of stuff on it sometimes, so I think it is pretty sturdy.

Yes. It is a very sturdy piece. My husband sits on it every day to remove/put on his shoes. He is 6'4" and weighs 250lbs.
