One more question.... I'm planning to use this as a versatile bench for people sit on more than put their feet up. Is it comfortable enough to sit on??

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't realize you asked another question. That is exactly why my wife bought it! Very versatile, and yes, it is very comfortable to sit on. My kids sit through entire T.V. shows on it. They lay on it and use the arm as a head rest when they are on their Kindle's. My kids obviously love it. My wife and I have both sat on it for at least an hour. My kids fit three accross and 2 large adults can sit side by side comfortably. We used it at Christmas and was a big hit. Surprisingly comfortable for a lid, well cushioned and well made. it even makes a nice foot rest when nobody is sitting on it! Of course all of this is moot if you already purchased. Either way, enjoy and good luck.

It's pretty low - a comfortable bench. However, I believe it could handle a lot of weight, so if your set is big, go for it!

This question requires a rather subjective response, but for my family I would certainly consider it comfortable. It is really quite solid to the touch which is nice. Unlike some plastic based models.

Yes, definitely! It is quite sturdy and comfortable. But not very "cushion-y".

I do not feel it is comfortable and would not be the best option for how you would use it. We have them in a room we do not use often and people do not sit in often. We got them more for decor. They look great but not that comfortable.

It won't provide comfortable seating, may be a bit too high. Also as you mentioned somewhat rounded top may prove uncomfortable. Short term seating and "in a pinch" seating would probably be OK.

It's enough to sit, but not big enough to kind of bundle up with your feet up or anything like that. I mean you can, but it's too tight a fit in my opinion. I think it's perfect for kids or really petite people. I'm 5'5" and on the heavier side. (For reference) like I said, it's comfortable if all you want to do is sit normally with your feet on the ground or up on an ottoman or something. But I'm sure someone shorter and slimmer than me could find it comfier.

You are correct. It may be too high even when the seat is at it's top position, but I haven't tried that. I don't think it was built as a foot rest.

Absolutely 100%. It is comfortable to sit on, never mind putting your feet up to rest. We are extremely pleased with this purchase, especially for fit & finish, comfort, price, value & free shipping. " Do not hesitate go for it.

No, I would strictly use it to rest my feet or sit on. Does not open up for storage and I don't think it would support much weight if you stood on it.

Yes. Don't expect comfort though. The seat and back are pretty stiff. I use a throw pillow on my back if I expect to sit for more than a minute.

The cushion is firm, to hold it's shape, but still comfortable for sitting. I mainly sit on it while putting on shoes, so short periods of time. Bench is very sturdy and should easily hold two people. Very nice quality bench.

No, it's pretty comfortable. I haven't sat on it for an extended period of time, but it's nice.

I do not think it would be comfortable for hours. It is not thick enough. You might want to upgrade. Also I would recommend a stool with the ring around the bottom to rest your feet on.

The bench is solid and heavy enough for normal sitting. I would not suggest using it if you expect kids to play/jump etc. on it.

Yes, you can sit on this item. We have it close to our front door and my husband sits on it every day to put his shoes on. I wouldnt' recommend it for prolonged seating, however. The cushion is not very cushy...

Yes, the top cushion is soft when resting your feet on it. It has enough squish for comfort.
