is the lid sturdy enough to sit on?

I don't think I have tried this, but considering that the weight would be distributed around the rim which is relatively wide, it could probably be sat upon without damage. It is relatively thin "plastic" though, so I wouldn't make a habit of sitting on it.

Just sat on it with the lid closed. It felt like there was a very minor amount of bend, but it still felt quite sturdy. I would sit on it again without hesitation. I weigh around 190 lbs.

Not sure, but it is sturdy enough for my five year old niece to crawl across the top of it without it breaking, and light enough for my 82 year old grandmother to lift the lid with only one hand herself. It's a great cover at a great price!

Yes, it is very sturdy. I sit on mine 7 or so hours per day at work, bouncing to the music. A good work out for legs, abs and glutes.

Yes, very solid, and you can sit on it with the lid closed. I got two to replace two old seats. They are great, and good price too.

Hi. Sorry it took so long, my mother uses it. She's 5'7 and weights about 170, and can sit on the lid with no problem. Hope this helps. Stephen

It is quite sturdy -- nothing like a plastic trashcan. I did knock the lid pretty hard once pulling out a liner and it popped the lid loose on one side, but it snapped right back into place. Not sure about a kid ripping the lid off though -- but no trashcan will stand up to that.

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.

Yes, I do sit on this for extended periods when it is not being used and it is sturdy.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a temporary sit-down of an average weight & size person. It was not designed for that, though.

It's cushy. Okay to sit on but not for someone who's very heavy. My grandkids sit on it regularly, but a heavy person could probably cave the lid. Otherwise it's pretty durable. Nice storage for throws etc. Cleans nicely. We've had it for a year. Overall happy eith it.

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.

Yes it is sturdy enough. I have used it several times. I am very pleased with it.

It is fairly sturdy. You could sit on it. Probably wood, but it was covered with fabric so you can't see it.

Yes, it is very sturdy and I have put a drink on mine and it stayed without spilling. I love mine. It is much nicer than the picture.

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.

My cats have, one at a time, rested on the lid with no problems. The lid is sturdy enough to support a twelve pound resting cat.
