Can this be used for extra seating? Is it sturdy enough to support one or two people?

While I don't use it for that purpose I just tested it out and it's completely fine. There are two separate pieces, one person sitting on each side shouldn't be a problem.

Yes it can hold 2 people of average weight comfortably. Hope this helps. Janet

Space wise it would seat two adults but don't think it would really work for the strength

I think it can...it seems pretty sturdy for something you assemble yourself... (my husband has loaded LOTS of weight on the top of it!) It is hollow construction, but I think it could support 25 lbs....not sure if you would have room for a chair though.

I would say it is strong enough for a bench- we have used it to sit on-very sturdy

It should support the extra weight with no problem.It is a very sturdy stand.

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.

I believe it is sturdy enough to handle the weight. The seat height is adjustable, but you should ask customer service to be sure if it would be high enough.

I would say so. It says it supports up to 200 lbs. and I think it would support much more. Plenty enough for a toddler or two even. Was very happy with the purchase. It's made from recycled materials and to be honest, I was a tiny bit skeptical when it arrived, but many months later, we are very happy with the shelves. Plus, it looks nice and clean.

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.

I'm about 180 lbs and can sit on this easily. It seems very sturdy, and I wouldn't have thought twice about having 2 or even 3 people sitting on it. Though now that you ask about weight limits I suppose I might be a little more cautious when that 3rd person sat down, depending on how much everyone weighed.

Yes people can sit on it, it is very strong, my son weights 305 pounds, him and his wife and 2 small children have set on it, and it supported them very well. This bench is not very heavy but it is very strong and has a deep storage compartment. My family is very satisfied with it.

Yes, it is definitely sturdy enough to sit on for the average size person. It is a heavy, well built product.

I agree with the various opinions of people who own it. I wouldn't let anyone over 200 lbs use it. It's sturdy, but the seat snapped onto the frame might break. If it's on ceramic tile, it can also shift with leaning on it. Overall, I am VERY satisfied with it.

Well, I haven't tested my two, but my husband and I, combined weight of 280 or so, can sit on it comfortably. These benches are quite sturdy---surprisingly so. I have noticed after a few months of outdoor use on an open patio that the bamboo is starting to crack, so I don't think they are long-lived for outdoor use but at the price you can afford to replace them occasionally.These are a great buy.

No problem. I have mine on it and it could hold more. It's very sturdy and can be adjusted height and width.

Sturdy, yes. The seat space isn't very deep though, so size may be an issue for a bigger person.
