Is it safe to stand on the TUSHY Ottoman?Updated 20 hours ago

No, don't stand on it. The Ottoman is designed as a squatting stool, meaning you rest your feet on it while seated on the toilet, not something you stand on to reach a shelf or change a lightbulb.

It's sturdy for its intended use. We've had at least 400 pounds on it without issues, but that's under normal squatting-stool use, not the added stress of someone standing and shifting their full weight on top of it. Using it as a stepstool isn't something we've tested for or recommend.
