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.

Yes. It is very sturdy. I've had three adults sitting on it and it held up just fine.Unfortunately the water gets inside the box if it is left out in the rain.......which has nothing to do with people sitting on it. !

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 have this ottoman at the bottom f my bed. I weigh 170 lbs. and I have no problem sitting on it. However, do not stand on it. I attempted to stand on it while hanging a corner of my canopy and I could feel it wanting to give in.

Yes, it should be fine for that. I sit on mine regularly and it's very sturdy.

Yes, you can definitely sit on it. It is quite sturdy and of excellent quality. It is a beautiful ottoman, and very purposeful for storage, as well as seating. I only wish it came in tan or brown---I would buy it again in one of those colors. I absolutely love it!

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.

The benches and ottoman is sturdy for a one year old to sit on. However, the benches should only be used as a foot rest for adults. A friend of ours who is about 145lbs sat on one of the bench and cracked the woods.

I love my ottoman. The top is not had and is soft enough to sit on. I keep a large tray on top of it to place drinking glasses on.

Yes it is. It is also very sturdy, but not too heavy. We sit on it when taking shoes on/off.

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.

No. The only thing you might want to know is that the cushion is not attached to the ottoman. I thought you might want to know since there are children involved. The cushion can be attached with velcro if you desire. Enjoy.

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!

I would say no. I have never tried it but it is not very strong and I'm sure would not withstand sitting on it. It is very nice though.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a temporary sit-down of an average weight & size person. It was not designed for that, though.

I would think so but I am not happy with the sturdiness of the entire frame. I do not transport very far and the person is not in the chair for any length of time so it serves its purpose.

I haven't sat on it. I keep my grandsons' toys in it. I'm not sure if it would be strong enough to be sat on. Someone that doesn't weight much would do ok, but anyone that is heavy, I wouldn't suggest it.
