We purchased this to place on our inflatable intex excursion 5 boat for some of our equipment. It’s extremely light, foldable, but extremely durable. It makes for great storage space too. We also added solar panels to the outside of the box for our cell phones and trolling motor. We also attached a foldable cup holder. And if I want to sit on top of this bench, no problem. Built extremely well to hold several pounds of weight. Yes I know we are using this autumn for a different purpose other than for the home or office, but why not? It’s called thinking outside the box... pun intended! Highly recommended!!!
