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

My experience with the box is that it is strong enough to hold the weight of average adults. Ours has not been used as a seat by anyone who was overweight, so I do not know if that would put too much stress on the box. I have stood on the box several times in order to reach something and the box was quite sturdy.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a person who is between 70 lbs and 180lbs. I have sat on them, stood on them, and so have children in my household. It's made of a very tough plastic. The only concern might be that if it is stored in a really cold place, the plastic could potentially become brittle and crack under too much weight.

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

Yes, it is sturdy for an adult to sit on. It is a nice side for 2 people to sit.

I would say yes. My three and a half year old (almost 40 lbs.) can still comfortably sit in it.

To be honest I don't know I had a guest a little over two hundred pounds sit on it with no issues. The material that it's made with is very sturdy so I would imagine that it could hold a decent amount of weight.

I haven't truly tested its capabilities. My 4 & 8 year old were on it at the same time with no issues. I have a large tray on it and use it as a coffee table so there's not much weight put on it. It's a lovely piece and I always get complements on it. I highly recommend this as a coffee table, but not as a peice of furniture to be sat on a regular basis. Sorry I can't be more help.

No, the top is not sturdy enough. It is too soft to set a drink down without something solid underneath. I do not recommend this ottoman, as the seams seem to split soon after usage.

If the person is small and the chair is braced or supported by someone else, yes. The chair itself is too light for a heavy person to do that in my opinion.

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.

I would say yes. My husband sits on it occasionally, and he weighs about 210.

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!
