Is this box strong enough (for a grown man) to stand on?

Yes! I weigh 285 pounds and I use mine as a step to get into my bunk at camp!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! The lid starts to depress when you put a 1 gallon can of paint on it. I'm afraid a 5 gallon bucket of paint would smash it completely (probably less than 50 lbs). There is NO WAY a grown man could stand on this without it destroying it.

Probably...but the wheels are awful. Both wheels broke the very first time I used it. Will never purchase another product from Plano Molding.

That's asking a lot for a thermo-plastic box. Sitting on the corner where it's reinforced....yes; but standing on the lid is too much PSI for this material. That said, it is a strong box w/ four-side latches that is not flimsy at all.

Ummm, i guess it would depend on the weight of the box. I wouldnt put anything up there because its not reinforced in the middle.

Considering the "box" is plastic it will not be very rugged to be begin with. I doubt your needs will be met.

Yes. Not hard at all...and I bought and assembled it over a year ago and its still standing from an8 and 12 yr old (boys). I didn't think it would last but it was designed very well considering the light weight.

Yes, this particular item is designed to withstand a standard grown man to sit on it and put their shoes on.

No, this is a freestanding unit And frankly it does not have the structural integrity to support a significant amount of weight. Good luck :-)

I would not stand on it. It holds quite a bit and ours are fairly heavy with all the back stage supplies we have in them. I don't think the top would support a person's weight on it.

I believe the dimensions are that of the box that it's shipped in. Note that it comes in sections and needs to be assembled.NO, I would not recommend it for adults/elderly. It is a nice product, but I wouldn't say that it's strong enough to safely support anyone larger than a small child.

Yes it is strong enough to support adults. I have to test everything and immediately got on the top bunk after assembly. It does wiggle a little bit but that is expected with a metal bunk bed. I am 6foot1 and 225lbs.

The arm's can be set to about 16 inches with the top of the center post at 19. so i think not. If you wanted to make a box stand to place the base on you could feasibly do it that way.

Yes. Its very sturdy as long as you don't make a habit of moving the stand too much. Its a good product, but it is basically just 3 pieces of wood screwed together.

No. it does not stand this way. I will fall over because there is no way to secure it in that position.

Yes, very sturdy! I am 230lb and 6'5" and I have stood on it. Very structurally sound.

If you put it together well, I think it could hold that. I don't have anything too heavy on it, but it seems pretty sturdy. FYI - putting it together takes a LONG TIME and the box is very very heavy!

It's certainly is strong enough to support a person. I weigh 250 pounds and I sat on it without fear that it would break.Actually due to the depth of the box the curved top makes it more comfortable to sit on.

It is a total steel construction so it would be sturdy enough. You would need a good mattress or you may feel the steel rods under you. The frame is not going to budge under an adult's weight.

Yes!!!! If i was you get the stand its nice!! It will support it just fine. No trouble at all.
