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.

I would not recommend any adult sitting on this ottoman. We did have to repair some parts underneath when the wheels collapsed.I like the idea but it is not built for heavy weight.

I would say yes. My three and a half year old (almost 40 lbs.) can still comfortably sit in it.

Yes it does - the ottoman isn't the highest piece of quality furniture I have ever seen, but it is nice. Don't have people sit on it often.

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.

The bigger ottoman yes. It is quite large. The smaller one, if you're not large, could work as a seat but not as comfortably.

Yes. I weigh 200 lbs snd use it everyday to sit on it to put my socks on. Very well made.

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

I would not recommend using this ottoman for seating. It's basically a coffee table with storage.

I has seemed plenty strong to me. I wouldn't sit on it! But writing should be fine. Think about the dimensions; it's not huge.

It seems sturdy enough to hold quite a bit, especially if you choose not to attach the feet. I've had friends weighing more than 200lbs sit on it without a problem.

I would say no. I have never tried it but it is not very strong and I'm sure would not withstand sitting on it. It is very nice though.

It's quite sturdy in my opinion. The heaviest person who sat on this chair weighs about 250lbs. I don't see any problems.

Yes. It is perfectly sturdy and nice and narrow. I use mine evey day with teenagers sitting at them, and they have held up very very well.

It's certainly is strong enough to support a person. I weigh 250 pounds and I sat on it without fear that it would break. Actually due to the depth of the box the curved top makes it more comfortable to sit on.

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

Hey Patricia. I use these ottomans precisely for that: giving someone a place to sit while they put their shoes on. To that end, they're certainly capable of supporting those up to 200 lbs (I can't speak to anything beyond that), but they're probably not tall enough for most dining room tables. Hope that helps.
