will the top withstand people sitting on it?

Not sure, I would not stand on it. But my 40 pound dog likes lying on it. It sturdy.

It is not a seat, it is very strong but I certainly would not want anyone to sit on it.

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.

I would not take a chance of anyone sitting on the top of this cage. It is very strong, but not meant to be sat on. I have a book, lamp, and a water glass on it, but nothing else.

No - a small child maybe but its not a seat. It's more like a side table. I have a plant, a drink coaster and a basket of dog stuff on mine - I love it and so does the dog.

Yes the lid is durable enough for an adult to sit on top. Our weights are between 55-80 kg. hope it helps.

Mine is pretty sturdy and I"m happy with it, although not sure I would want 100 pounds on top, as that would likely make it top heavy and much less stable, or more likely to tip over. Guess it would depend on the center of gravity of the object itself.

I agree with M. Wallace. The bench is very strong and I've had three adults sit on it too with no discernible problems at all. Love this set!

It's relatively comfy. The top is padded & yes, two people can sit on it at once. Probably not super heavy people but average adults. We use it as a piano bench.

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.

My best guess would say no. If you reinforced it a bit more, maybe, but I would still be quite wary of using it as seating.

Yes, people can sit on it but it does tend to crackle if the weight is over 250.

Can't say for sure-no one over 180lbs had sat on ours. The frame is sturdy, possibly where the seat screws to the frame might not hold up under all circumstances.

Well, I haven't tested my two, but my husband and I, combined weight of 280 or so, can sit on it comfortably. These benches are quite sturdy---surprisingly so. I have noticed after a few months of outdoor use on an open patio that the bamboo is starting to crack, so I don't think they are long-lived for outdoor use but at the price you can afford to replace them occasionally. These are a great buy.

The top is very durable. We have had it for almost 5 years and it has been spilled and climbed up on and has held up very well. I have even sat on it a few occasions and it held up just fine. I don't think the material of the top is the same as the legs, not a solid wood top, but still very durable.

Absolutely. I've had full grown adults sit on it. We have one that we use as a bench.

I agree. It is very sturdy and I was thinking the same thing 2 or 3 200-250 people should be fine. Doesn't seem to give when my husband and I sit on it to put on shoes etc.

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.

It is very sturdy. I have sat on it and if it holds my weight it will hold just about any thing.

Not exactly for sure what the weight limit is,,,, but we have had some big people sit in ours with no problem... They are really sturdy

They are pretty strong. I wondered the same thing when I bought them but they are holding up pretty well. People 200lbs and over have sat on them. But, keep in mind they are not used every day like that.
