is this sturdy enough to sit on?

If my 130lbs wife used it as a stool to reach for something, I would not be surprised if her feet went through the top. I am not confident enough to test it.

It seems to have a sturdy enough frame to sit on if you wanted to. But it probably would depend upon how much you weight as well. Staples stores carry these. If you have a Staples in your town you can try out the chest for yourself. Hope this helps! :)

I guess it would be, as long as you're not extremely heavy. It's sturdier than I had thought. You may want to take the measurements into account.

Yes, very stable. I would be comfortable with a child to sit on it, but not sure about a small person. I guess it all depends on how small the person is.

I think it is sturdy enough but I doubt that it is wide enough. Also it is possibly a little too tall to avoid it being top heavy with a big tv on top--my advice is to get the companion piece to this that is lower and wider and has an actual bench as the top.

It is pretty sturdy, I have just used it for food and wine, glasses etc, I wouldn't sit on it tho, lol

I'm not sure the frame is pretty sturdy but the seat its self is only cloth with a hard plastic piece in it. May need to be reinforced.

Yes. It is very sturdy. I'm sure it can break with really rough play but it would take a lot.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a person who is between 70 lbs and 180lbs. I have sat on them, stood on them, and so have children in my household. It's made of a very tough plastic. The only concern might be that if it is stored in a really cold place, the plastic could potentially become brittle and crack under too much weight.

Materials are very sturdy. Adults sit on it with no problem. If needed, I would be another without hesitation.

Probably. It seems sturdy enough, but they make no such claim. Proceed with caution.

I would say yes. It is metal and very sturdy so sitting on it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes. It is sturdy. It doesn't feel hollow and has a little bit of weight to it.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for an adult to sit on. I had it at the end of my bed; now I have it in my entry hall. Very versatile piece.

Yes, I do sit on this for extended periods when it is not being used and it is sturdy.

It seems sturdy enough. I would say like 300? maybe a little more. I would note that the seat is much narrower than the picture makes it out to be. So while it can probably hold enough weight, I wouldn't recommend for bigger people.

Yes, it is very sturdy. I sit on mine 7 or so hours per day at work, bouncing to the music. A good work out for legs, abs and glutes.

I have sat on mine but very carefully. I knew that it was not super sturdy so I was careful. Your guests may not know and my end up on the flow. I under mine as a bench for my dogs so they can see out the window. And it is great for storing extra blankets. I thought there was a weight limit for sitting listed on the item when I purchased.

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!
