Is the ottoman strong enough to hold someone sitting on it?

It is pretty sturdy. Fine for sitting on. but if you have a wild child who pulls the cushion off and jumps on the fabric underneath, it will rip right through. I have had this set for a year now, and it's held up decently well. There are a few pokey spots-- little hernias inside the couch that create slightly uncomfortable bumps. But I have kids who jump on it. For the price, I think it's a good deal for what you get and it's liberating to know that if you have active puppies or kittens or children who will eventually grow out of their destructive phase, for now they are ruining furniture that would only last 3 years.

The Ottoman is plenty strong enough, it's just hard, in fact the whole couch is hard, it's the most uncomfortable piece of furniture I've ever sat on in my life. In fact it's the worst thing I've ever bought on Amazon, no it's actually the worst thing I've ever bought in my life. I don't sit on it, my dog destroys the thing, I don't even care about it. In fact every time I walk by this thing I swear at it or make obscene gestures.

It's quite sturdy in my opinion. The heaviest person who sat on this chair weighs about 250lbs. I don't see any problems.

It seems sturdy enough to hold quite a bit, especially if you choose not to attach the feet. I've had friends weighing more than 200lbs sit on it without a problem.

Hey Patricia. I use these ottomans precisely for that: giving someone a place to sit while they put their shoes on. To that end, they're certainly capable of supporting those up to 200 lbs (I can't speak to anything beyond that), but they're probably not tall enough for most dining room tables. Hope that helps.

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

The bigger ottoman yes. It is quite large. The smaller one, if you're not large, could work as a seat but not as comfortably.

Yes. My aunt sits in it fine with no problems and that's about her weight. It is a very temporary (on visits) situation, so I am not sure long term. But, there is no issue as far as comfort, and the chairs seem very durable. We have 2 and our kids spin, bounce and lean back as far as the chair will allow. Two years later, they are just as nice as when we purchased them.

I use this primarily as a storage unit for blankets and an ottoman to rest our feet on. That being said, it has been sat on and is pretty sturdy. I wouldn't, however weigh it down too much. Great addition to my living room!

My 53 lb. 7 year old son sits on it sometimes, it holds him up pretty well, lol. We tend to pile a lot of stuff on it sometimes, so I think it is pretty sturdy.

The ottoman will still support your legs comfortably. But your feet will extend beyond the end of the ottoman.

It would hold your weight just fine. It's a very small couch. We got it for my sons room for him to sit on and play his Xbox. It seats two. We love it as it suits its purpose just fine. But yes, my husband sits on it, we sit on it together, so it will hold your weight.

Yes. It is perfectly sturdy and nice and narrow. I use mine evey day with teenagers sitting at them, and they have held up very very well.

My fiance who is just under 120lbs and 23 years of age sat in these with my 4 year old niece. It held her just fine and I would say it could probably hold a little more. They are built strong. However, I wouldn't let anyone who is over 120 sit in them regularly. They are made for smaller children and not that large of a seat for older kids/ teenagers.

It does NOT seem strong enough to sit on. But is quite sturdy for holding about 50 pounds. The finish is inbetween matte and smooth.

Maybe, if they sat gently and carefully, but basically, no, it's not that sturdy for a person of that size.

Yes it does - the ottoman isn't the highest piece of quality furniture I have ever seen, but it is nice. Don't have people sit on it often.
