Can this be used as a dining table bench (i.e. right height &amp; sturdy enough)?

Sturdy enough, yes. Height should work. But the fabric may get stained easily. Would suggest you spray it with a fabric protector. Not sure that I would use it for that purpose.

Not sure about the weight. It is a small table that would fit two people meant for dining. If you were planning to use it for something other than a dining table, it might not be the right choice. Hope this helps.

Yes! It makes a very nice bench to sit on. My boyfriend weighs 206 and he sits on it to put shoes on etc..Very sturdy. Get it! You'll love how it looks, and how functional it is. Really nice piece!

Yes, I think you could use it for dining as long (as the arms are lower than height of table). We use it for lounging around our fire pit. It's very basic, light weight. Kinda on the smaller side.

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 yes. I use it for a desk to stand at and have piles of books on it. It's a great table. Very solid

I use this for our breakfast area for dining purposes only and would not recommend putting any heavy objects other than dinner ware on it. It is pretty sturdy and stable for dining use. But if you want to re purpose it for any other use you might want to check with the manufacturer.

If you made it into a shorter table there would be two issues...first it would be very low..while sitting your knees would be higher than the table...secondly it would not be sturdy. The legs have a bar across the bottom connecting piece that makes it sturdy. The entire surface of both table and chairs...are aluminum...

It could be used as a one or two person dining table. It's quite strong. My mom in law uses it all the time for food prep. The wheels are maybe 3", so it would be three inches shorter than specs without wheels. Very nice unit.

No not this bench. Its not sturdy. I bought this for my brothers. They are about 150lbs and it wobbles sometimes. Its more for beginners and lightweights

Yes, you can sit on it however it is make of hard resin plastic so I wouldn't plan on using it permanently as a bench

Yes, I don't believe there would be any issues with that. It seems fairly sturdy for a piece of furniture that screws together. Hope this helps :)

The distance between the slats is just shy of 1 inch (or 7/8 of an inch). Yes, this bench could be used as a long, modern coffee table, but you may have to purchase some clear bumpers to stick on the four corners to support the glass. This may interfere with the sleek look you're after, so just keep that in mind.

It's really low, I don't think you would be able to use it as a dining chair. My dining table is standard height and it's low for my table.

I use mine as a coffee table, I put my feet on it ,but I would never sit on it, It might be ok if you only weigh one hundred pounds.

I don't think it would be sturdy enough. I have a martha stewart bench that has shoe storage by my door. Got it in Home Depot.

Not really! Benches are kind of light but the table little heavier than benches it's very usefull if you buy this even you can use at home or picnic vs.. My sister was here to visit us couple weeks ago we both seat on the benches and had a breakfast nobody falled. My weight is 162 pounds and my sisters is 125 I'm so glad I bought this table and you will too.
