If you sit on the lid when it's closed, does it flex, or is it pretty solid?

I weigh 180 pounds and is OK for me to sit upon. I would not stand on it to change a lightbulb, as I do the wooden seat in my other bathroom. I hope that is helpful

Hello the lid is not solid. It has the same scroll pattern as the table as not to save the ice from melting quickly. I sat outside for about an hour in 80 degree temps before my ice melted. Hope this helps.

It is pretty solid...an adult should be fine to sit on it. The back side panel of the storage bin is that flimsy type "cardboard-like" material - it's hard but does flex....but the top, base, sides and inside dividers are particle board and about 1/2" thick. I bought one of each - the two bin and the three bin and they are stacked on top of each other. Hope this helps.

I would doubt it, I just stuck a cook book on it and it really didn't flex. Maybe not to prolonged sitting.

It is a tight fit, but the lid does close. If you are nervous about using force I would not get it

It's like a canning lid. A center piece and then a ring to tighten it down. There is no solid lid.

I really like this item. As long as you don't over file the trash bag the the lid is solid. I have had no problems.

Good question. I tried to twist and bend the plastic handle and it did not flex at all. It appears to be made of high impact plastic and is very sturdy. I trust it will do the job.

Yes, the back has some flex. It does not "recline" like a lazy boy, but is definitely the most comfortable chair I have used.

Sitting on it is probably OK, but standing on it may damage the soft-close mechanism. I stood on ours to reach the top of a cabinet and now the seat doesn't close properly. The seat part closes slowly, but the lid slams down. Looking online for a way to fix it! :-/

If by "solid" you mean that it is heavy, it is not. The base is hollow, but has not been a problem for my mother, for whom I bought it.

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

It feels very sturdy. I fully extended it, and tried to tip it while sitting on it. It feels very solid.

I weigh about 175 and when I sit on it I feel it flex a little but it's sturdy enough. No less sturdy than other lids I've sat on.

It doesn't recline, but it does flex a bit when you lean back. So it's not rigid.

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

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.
