Want to use this on its side with a pad on top for an entryway bench, to sit on to put on shoes. Is this sturdy enough? High enough?

I definitely would not use it that way. but it is great for shoes in a closet.

Yes I think it would work well. It's pretty firm when you step on it, but very comfortable!

I think probably ok. See if ur Sports Authority has one on floor and try it out. SA has had them in stock. I have stood only briefly and it seems sturdy.

It's a beautiful piece. If the inner shelf measurements will adequately accommodate the shoes you are thinking about, it would be a very classy way to keep an entryway looking very nice. You might want to use some water-proof shelf coverings to protect the shelving wood.

Yes the bench is defenitely sturdy for step-ups, however I will never use a quality bench like this for that. I will buy a separate stepper for that.

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

It is very sturdy and stable. I use it for a shoe-changing bench in my front hall. I've had it for about a year and it has held up very well.

Hi., I don't use it for that type of purpose, but my guess would be yes, it should be sturdy enough. Make sure you lock the wheels of course.

It's as long as an average size coffee table, so it would work well as a foot rest, in my opinion. It's quite spacious on the inside and is sturdy. I love mine and am thinking of getting a second one to use as a coffee table. For the price, it can't be beat. It is a beautiful piece of furniture.

We use this on our deck to store our cushions and also use it to put on shoes before we walk the beach.It seem to be sturdy enough. ( 175lbs. before dinner)

Sturdy enough, yes. Height should work. But the fabric may get stained easily. Would suggest you spray it with a fabric protector. Not sure that I would use it for that purpose.

yes, it is pretty sturdy. You may have to balance it a bit on the other side, but I have had no problems. This is a great item. I love it.

ours it sturdy, and several people sit on it daily to put on and remove shoes for a few months now. It isn't 'forever' furniture, but seems sturdy enough for the short term.

The bench has to be assembled and is sturdy. Remember that you raise the seat to put things inside. I would contact the manufacturer and ask the question. We purchased a separate outdoor waterproof cushion to put on top - if you do that - remember to measure accurately the area for the cushion.

It is a bench, so it should hold weight, I am on the heavy side, so I wouldn't chance it, but then I didn't buy it for that, it is a storage for my crafts.

Just googled to double check - this site's specs say the weight limit is 200 lbs (not sure if link will work in here) http://www.fingerhut.com/product/Home/Tools-Equipment/Storage-Workbenches/Cynthia-Storage-Bench/pc/27101/c/25305/sc/25347/QN867.utsIt's sturdy enough for someone over that to sit on to take their shoes off or something, but probably not for daily use. The interior storage area doesn't seem super strong. For a decorative piece, this works great for us, but if you are looking for something to sit on regularly, I'd say get something else.

It is very sturdy. Mine holds 275+ and is not wobbly at all. We do not bounce or jump up and down on it. Just use it to sit on and shoes at front door. A perfect fit for what we use it for.
