Is the lid/cover sturdy enough for a large person to sit on without cracking. Looks thin.

This is the best investment I ever made. My Don is over 400 lbs and it is holding up wonderfully. Worth every penny after replacing numerous seats of all different materials. My advice. .. buy it!

I'm pretty big and have broken several toilet seats one way or the other. We put one of these Big John seats in, and while my family likes to make fun of the size, it hasn't cracked or even come loose yet. It's over a year old. If you're talking about the lid, I wouldn't stand on it (I wouldn't stand on much of anything) but I sit on it every day to brush my teeth because I have a bad back and can't stand that long. No problems so far.

I've never sat on the lid, but the seat is very strong AND comfortable. I'm a big man coming at 6'3" and 500 lbs. Get the BJ seat with the steel hinges. Few bucks more , but will hold up better.

No problem, I have been sitting on mine daily for several months, and never even a squeak! I was breaking regular seats every three months or so, especially the hinges, but not this one, doesn't budge. I still want to get another one for the upstairs bath, just saving my pennies. You will be satisfied, I'm sure.

Yes it is. We have had no problems with this seat. We have had it nearly a year now. It has to deal with 350 ounds and have had no problems.

My husband is large and sat on it, but there are verious types of large. I am sure there is a weight limit on the seat. They are made for large people If is sits well on the toilet it is placed on it should not be a problem. You might call the maker.

Yes the lid is sturdy enough to hold an adult when closed. You can even stand on the lid.

My experience with the box is that it is strong enough to hold the weight of average adults. Ours has not been used as a seat by anyone who was overweight, so I do not know if that would put too much stress on the box. I have stood on the box several times in order to reach something and the box was quite sturdy.

While it is sturdy to prop your feet on if the person is not too heavy I would say yes. We were very pleased with this ottoman and I've sat on it and if you keep stuff inside it will make it even sturdier.

Not sure, but my husband (210 lbs.) went to sit in it and he said it was sturdy for him. Hope that helps!

Yes, it is sturdy. You could probably get two platters in each space if they were slim.

Mine is quite sturdy. Not sure I would let an adult sit on it, but would probably support the weight of my 10-year-old stepson. It gets a lot of wear from people resting their feet on the bottom shelf, which I should have foreseen, but it came with a touch up marker, so it still looks good.

I haven't sat on the lid, but durability was a concern of mine for the adult seat itself. As a person of "ample carriage," our previous seat would flex a bit and didn't feel sturdy. This seat actually feels MORE sturdy than the old one. It's solid, molded wood and is more rigid than the old one. I think the placement of the spacers underneath the adult seat (resting on the toilet bowl) are placed in a better position to support weight.

It's pretty sturdy. My husband sits on it. I've stood on it. I'm about 130 lbs.

I try to push it down with my hand, and it was a little pushed down. Although it seems to be strong, and I felt it may not be as much as it can stand a heavy person's weight, and certainly I wouldn't sit on the lid. Though, we are very satisfied with this seat.

It is pretty sturdy, i have sat on it without any problems. I would say upwards of 150lbs.

I would say so, its actually quite sturdy. We eat and drink on it sometimes so we don't put our feet on it but I would otherwise. Also, its okay to put drinks down without a coaster, no ring.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a temporary sit-down of an average weight & size person. It was not designed for that, though.
1959544
It sits pretty solid especially when full. I don't think it would be a problem.

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

Fairly sturdy, depending upon what you compare it to and how heavy the person is sitting on it. We have about 12 of these that get used all day, every day. No problems yet. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but not for $100.
