I was skeptical about the small box it arrived in.  But then I saw how sturdy it was once you put it together.  (Not for stepping on - but fine for sitting on).  Easy to put together - great directions - took me 10 minutes max.  perfect for by a small side chair in my living room.
weight capacity says 300 lbs - so will handle almost anybody sitting on it.  lid flips to use as a small table.
