Not sure how many pounds it can hold. My grandkids sit on it, but they're light. I would guess that if you were under 120 pounds it would work, but I'm just guessing.

Yes, it is fine for sitting briefly to tie shoes. The top is cushiony enough that it is not uncomfortable for an average size adult (or child). We love ours and use it all the time for the kids shoes and socks in the foyer.

Absolutely. I've used them to sit on while browsing the internet, and tend to sit near the edges or on a corner. I leave an imprint, but it goes away. They're rated to 250 lbs.

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

If the seat is not strapped to something when you lean back your tip all away over.you could use it for that but you'll have to maintain your balance you couldn't lean all the way back

Yes you can put shoes on the floor, but I would not buy this product again. Not made very well. When putting this together the wood split and it wobbles from left to right. Look for something that uses a better quality of wood.

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 !!!!!

I have this bench at the end of my king size bed and I use it mostly for putting blankets and pillows on. However, often I sit on the bench to put my shoes on and often my grandchildren play on. I think the only issue one would have with instability would come from standing on it and pushing it back and forth length wise.

This is a sturdy piece. However, I have used it usuall to prop up my feet, and, to have a place to keep my needlework, etc., when I 'm not working on things. I have had more than one occasion to sit on it, and, I'm no light-weight either....trust me. It seems to have the inner strength to tolerate all the uses to which I have put it. Good luck!

No, I wouldn't recommend it. It gets too tight when you sit very long. It works better when you are up moving around doing something.

I think it's versatile. It is wider than a bench so if you are looking for a standard bench storage you might not like it. It would be a great solution tho if you want to sit in comfort. I think Home Decorators catalog has some great shoe benches also.

I guess you could but I wouldn't recommend it. I have not used it as seating.

It is not too comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I have it as an accent chair for color.

Not really. It's really meant for standing. It would be uncomfortable to use while seated...unless you use a bar stool.

i bought the stool to be used as a seat. within a week or so of using it, it started to crack in certain areas and brake in others. i would't recomend using a plastic stool to sit on, i would use a stool made of medal.

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.

I wouldn't use it as a seat. It is only 4 inches high, and not stable enough to put in a tub of water. Works well on the floor or carpet as a step.

I think you most definitely can sit on it to put on your shoes. I don't think I'd use it as a bench for people to sit on but if you are an average size person I think it will be okay

I suppose;although it would be very uncomfortable, in my estimation. Feet/shoes are locked in with the table mechanism. Shoes(any),for me are best the longer you hang!
