Impressively sturdy!
I didn’t realize it was collapsible. I wasn’t paying close enough attention, I guess. Anyway, I got it so I can put my feet up and extra storage is never a bad idea. When it arrived in the tiny box it came in I figured ok, I have to assemble it. Then I opened it and saw it’s made just like those fabric storage boxes. I was bummed; no way this thing is going to hold my (fairly heavy) legs. As it turns out, it does, no problem at all. Once you assemble it, it’s as solid as a little table. I wouldn’t sit on it, but I bet an average-sized person probably could. I was pretty surprised it’s so sturdy. For the money I have no complaints. As a bonus, it fits so well under my IKEA LACK side table it’s like it was designed to be stored there.
UPDATE: I sat on it. I wasn’t even thinking about what I was doing, just sat in the nearest available object. Not a smart thing to do when you weigh over 300lb, but I was super focused on something else. 20 minutes later I realized I was in fact sitting on my new ottoman, and it was holding up my weight with no complaints whatsoever. I inspected it and there don’t seem to be any signs of stress anywhere. I’m even more impressed now. If you were thinking about getting one, hopefully that helps you make your decision.
