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 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.

yes, but to update my previous review the feet of this ottoman have since malfunctioned. I have kids and my company have really put it to daily use. I would not recommend to a home where kids would use. I'm dissappointed now because I expected more longevity from this product. Now I have to take the feet off and sit on floor until I replace.

Absolutely - I'm over 80lbs and I sit on it! My Pit enjoys laying on it as well. I've very please with this ottoman, I almost paid $250.00 for the ottoman that came with the sofa I purchased. This one matches perfectly and was a great price.

I would say yes. My husband sits on it occasionally, and he weighs about 210.

I can't say how many lbs this could hold. it is really a very nice, sturdy storage ottoman (narrow) with a straight back, not really a chair for comfortable sitting or sitting for any length of time.

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.

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

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

To be honest I don't know I had a guest a little over two hundred pounds sit on it with no issues. The material that it's made with is very sturdy so I would imagine that it could hold a decent amount of weight.

It is definitely strong enough for an adult to sit on it closed. I do all the time while bathing the kids.

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.

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.

I haven't sat on it. I keep my grandsons' toys in it. I'm not sure if it would be strong enough to be sat on. Someone that doesn't weight much would do ok, but anyone that is heavy, I wouldn't suggest it.

I would think so but I am not happy with the sturdiness of the entire frame. I do not transport very far and the person is not in the chair for any length of time so it serves its purpose.

It seems pretty sturdy. Anything under 200 lbs would barely make an impression my daughter and I sometimes sit on it at the same time (220 or so) and it doesn't seem any worse for wear.

Yes, it is sturdy for an adult to sit on. It is a nice side for 2 people to sit.
