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

yes you can sit on it. My husband and I can both sit on it at the same time.

I couldn't say exactly how many pounds, but it's sturdy and attractive. Yes, you can sit on it. We very much like it!

It appears to be well made and can function as an occassional bench. Not sure how much weight it can hold but I would say it's the average person.

Yes! It makes a very nice bench to sit on. My boyfriend weighs 206 and he sits on it to put shoes on etc..Very sturdy. Get it! You'll love how it looks, and how functional it is. Really nice piece!

I don't know exactly how much weight it can hold, but in my opinion it is definitely sturdy enough to be used as a bench. We have it at the foot of our 3 year old daughter's bed (queen sized bed), and it holds all her stuffed animals, blankets, etc., but she also uses it to climb onto her bed. I have sat on it many times (I weigh about 140lbs) and it never felt unsteady. My husband also sits on it and he weighs about 200lbs.

We regularly use this bench as an extra seat. It can easily support 2 normal size adults or 3 kids.

It is very sturdy. My husband and I have sat on it together (400 lbs total) with no problem.

Yes it can be used as a bench and has held up for us just fine! I weigh 145 and my husband weighs 280 - I trust it!

It seems sturdy enough. I would say like 300? maybe a little more. I would note that the seat is much narrower than the picture makes it out to be. So while it can probably hold enough weight, I wouldn't recommend for bigger people.

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

I own one of these, and I do not see any mention of a weight limit on the bench, not do I remember seeing anything in the literature. However, I can tell you that the construction is pretty sturdy, so I'd guess that it would hold at least 200 lbs, and may be good to 250 lbs, as long as one is not jumping or "plopping" on it.

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.

I'm not sure, but I weigh about 125 lbs. and can sit on the bench without it collapsing. It is actually quite sturdy and easily supports the two preschoolers who use it. We used it at Christmas with the preschoolers plus a 2nd grade boy, and it held all 3 kids fine.

I seems to be able to support a good amount of weight. It is used as a guest chair for men and women of all shapes and sizes and it has held up well so far. Don't know the exact weight, but could be as much as 200 lbs.

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.

The bench is comfortable for two adults. I am guessing but I think it would hold up to 600 pounds. It is made out of rubber wood. Check robber wood out on the internet.

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

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.

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.

The weight limit as stated on the package is 250 lbs including the person lifting the weight. But from experience, I'm 200 lbs and i bench 100 lbs on this weight bench. I would be very careful at this point however, because it really isn't designed for it, and the weight bench can tip over if you are not careful.

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.

I don't know the weight LIMIT for the bench; I guess the manufacturer would have to answer that, but I can tell you that it has held up well with 225 lbs. sitting on it! It is very sturdy!

I really don't know since it has been used by people weighing about 200 pounds. It wouldn't surprise me if it could handle 400 pounds. I like mine and have let other people use it who also like it.

Yes you can sit on it. I used it to stand on last week and it held my whole body weight (approx 150 lbs)
