Can this be used as a bench for people to sit on as well?

Yes I would say so. They are pretty sturdy. They are great as an outdoor 'bed' for our Chihuahua (with a blanket on top). We have several & use them all over. Great little items! Enjoy.

I wouldn't recommend it. Even though it's sturdy, the top isn't really durable enough to support a lot of weight. Think of it like sitting on the hood of a car: It's very possible for the top to cave in.

Besides the arm rests and high backrest, I guess it could serve as a bench. It's strong enough for several normal peoples weight.

No it can't be used as a bench but is good for light things recall not meant to hold a lot of weight.

Good morning, Gary. Yes, the bench can seat two people. I would suggest purchasing a loveseat cushion for comfort. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I wouldn't advise using this particular seat for that purpose. It's a great seat for many things, but it would be too unstable and not safe. This seat needs a flat surface to sit on and to be able to attach the hooks that helps hold it in place.

Yes, if you have some strong metal brackets. This is a wonderful, well built bench and is heavy, at least it is heavy for me. Get some long, strong screws to use in it and you will probably have to use a metal drill bit. Good luck.

Absolutely.............as it says in description, a lightweight person can use it as a seat........I have a big pot of flowers on it at the moment.Let me say again how shocked I was at the ease of assembling this wonderful storage cube.

Yes. It is cushioned on both sides so it can be used either as a kneeler or a bench. Ann

Yes, I think you can, it is big enough for one or two people, but not big enough for over 3 people.

It can be used as a seat but be sure that you do not exceed the weight limit. I have a heavier friend who obliterated this stool trying to step onto it.

Yes, its is strong enough to use as bench. We've had three kids sit on it at a time (ages 8-10) and my father has also set on it and he is about 250 lbs. The top does have a little bit of a curve to itbut you can still easily use it as a serving table as well.

I recommend these only as benches, not a table. We used it one season as a table and next year upgrading to a wooden picnic table. Yes, it will last, but it is NOT comfortable to sit at as a picnic table.

Yes, you can definitely sit on it. We have 3 of them and they pull double duty in our house when we have company - a place to hide our kids' many toys, and extra seating!

Yes, if they like each other! The bench is very solid and could easily handle the weight of two adults. Recommend you cut out the bench dimensions from newspaper to see for yourself.

Yes you can sit on it. I used it to stand on last week and it held my whole body weight (approx 150 lbs)

Depending on the size of the people, yes. Two medium sized adults or three small children. We love our bench.

Cannot be used as a bench.....the lid is sturdy enough to set something of 10-25 pounds or so, but I would not let a person of more than about 15 pounds sit atop. It latches, so it won't blow open in winds, but is not think enough to support a person. That's my experience.
