Can you sit on this?

Anything can be sat on if you are brave enough, but I don't think it was ever intended to be used as a seat. Construction is solid for a hamper, but not designed for the stress of supporting a human. Top slats are about 1/4 inch thick, which won't hold up for long under repeated sitting. The depth to height ratio could make it a little unstable if sat on wrong. I think I would get a chair, bench or stool for your seating needs.

What a good question. I haven't considered it, because I'm not that size. I've put heavier things on it. No, I don't think I'd let my 115 lbs child sit on it, though. I really am pleased with this. It looks very nice, as in the photo. I was actually expecting something more cheaply made. I'd give it five stars. Megan is correct, it is rather high. I might plop a toddler here, temporarily, to help with shoes or similar. I think a person tall enough to sit here might be too heavy. (??)

I just tried sitting on it. My assumption was going to be that it wouldn't make a very stable seat, but it's actually surprisingly nice to sit on, both with and without a bunch of laundry inside it. The only possible problem for long-term sitting is the height - my feet don't reach the ground when I sit on it.

I love everything about this hamper but there is no listing of where we can get a replacement insert bag. Other than that it is still the best hamper, hands down.

Yes, you can sit on it however it is make of hard resin plastic so I wouldn't plan on using it permanently as a bench

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!

No. This is not a comfy chair. Sits very hard. More for show & short visits.

I believe it is study to sit on. We don't use ours that way, but I do believe you could. The construction is so very simple, and I suppose that if the screws got loose, which I don't think they would, you could then use larger screws to replace. This is solid wood with a beautiful luster.

You probably can't do it. It's quite wide. It's actually wider than most seats out there, which makes it more comfortable.

it is quite stable. not sure you would want to sit on it; it is quite strong, but, perhaps a little small for that use. my daughter uses it for storage (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) and a leg rest for shaving. hope this helps.

yes you can sit on it, but I would not have anyone over 175 lbs plus if use it on a daily basis the sides will break down in a year or so.

I suppose you could, but you don't need to. It is fine with the cushion on top of it.

yes, you can use it to sit on.... I am a large person and I sit on mine occasionally to watch TV... wouldn't want to use it all the time.. but for extra people it is great !!!!!

Yes you could but the chair is made for a small child and is very uncomfortable after 10 min of sitting

Definitely not designed for sitting! Get a proper bench for that. This would be structurally unsound.

It could probably hold someone's weight but it would not be very comfortable - we love ours but have never used it for seating.

No. But you can sit it on top resting against the wall (either sideways or longways)

You can but your feet would hang off the edge since their is a built in backrest on the lounger.

Yes, it should be fine for that. I sit on mine regularly and it's very sturdy.

Absolutely, I bet you could sit on it. As long as the weight is evenly distributed, It will hold a ton.
