Our Poppin Box Seat is storage disguised as a seat! Beneath its colorful lid is 4,096 cubic-inches of storage space, yet it's strong enough to accommodate up to 275 pounds. And because it collapses flat, it's perfect for portable clutter control and impromptu seating. Plus, like all Poppin products, it adds a pop of color and style to any room. Not intended for use as a step stool.

Good for dormWe bought 2 for dorm room storage. They are spacious inside but one of them was missing the inside panel to hold open the container so we had to make a make- shift one. They are sturdy and the material looks like it will hold up well.

Use as a file boxI needed a cute way to store my files in a small office that doubled as a den. They come in beautiful colors, don’t take up much space , and collapseable when you need to get them out of the way.

Attractive and great for storageIt's a simple design, a no-brainer to put together in seconds, extra storage, and a nice place to sit down or put my feet on. I am using it in my mud room to throw shoes in, plus I can sit on it to put shoes on or take shoes off. I'm happy with it

Useful dual purposeThis box seat fits nicely under my desk. I can fit inside it a stadium desk top file I bought some time ago from this store. It is easy to pull out so I can lift the lid and access my merchant files. I can access my files easier from this position of being able to look down on them. If need be the box can be used as a seat for a visiting lighter weight person.

This is awesomeI live in a small condo with minimal storage so I bought two of these for the living room. They are awesome. Not only do they hold a ton of stuff, but they look way more expensive than they are. They seem really sturdy and I cannot recommend them more. I was a little nervous since some of the reviews mention a smell, but mine were fine.

Awful smellI love the size and the sturdiness of this seat, but the smell inside gives me a huge headache. I don’t know what it is but I have three of these and I’m going to be getting rid of all of them. Everything I stored inside also smells now. I’d rather eat the cost than deal with the smell.

My cat LOVES this boxWe bought this box to store shoes in and use for seating while taking off and removing shoes. Then a few weeks later we adopted a cat and she cannot get enough of this box. She sleeps on it, uses it as a scratching post, digs her claws into it and races around the sides of it. It's gotten a little bit frayed from her clawing, but it's inexpensive and easy to replace and it has kept her from using the couch as a scratching post. A+

something for everyoneI love the Poppin box storage/seating I just purchased. It arrived quickly was easy to set up, is as sturdy as they say and it's already full of things that were cluttering my small apartment. Not only does it work for us humans but my cats like to sit on it and they also enjoy the cardboard box it came in.

the perfect bedside tableI just purchased a new platform bed for my guest bedroom and needed a reasonably priced bedside table for one side. This box works perfectly for holding a book, a box of tissues or other guest needs. I've stored extra linens inside, too.

Multi Function GreatnessI work with kids ages 3 to 14, so it's important for me to have an office that is fun and functional. I purchased 3 Poppin Box Seats (in pink, grey, and aqua) and 1 Poppin Box Bench (in sand) to create storage and extra setting. Sometimes I work with children in groups, so it's great to be able to move all the boxes around a table to create an interactive space, and when not in a group they nicely tuck away against the wall, creating a nice long bench seat. It is awesome that they hold so much weight, because working with kids up to the age of 14, they can be pretty big!
I use the boxes to hid away toys, games, and files that I don't want out anymore. It keeps my office nice and tidy.
And I can't forget, my kids LOVE them! They love choosing which color they are going to sit on and finding out what's inside.
The boxes have upped the color and function of my office!

Perfect!I was excited about the product when I first saw it. Wasn't excited about the price, but I saw it on sale and bought it then and there! Perfect for storage and with my room being smaller it's great for storing things and being the only seating space for guests. When there are no guests it holds my purse. The cushion is comfy and there's lots of space inside of it. I mostly use mine for folders, headshots, my blow dryer, and extra accessories like belts.

Useful, well-designed, & affordableThe Poppin Box Seat has worked wonderfully for our daughter's play area in our living room. It comfortably stores her toys and blankets, acts as seating for us when playing with her, and serves as extra informal guest seating or side-table space for meals on the couch in our small living room. It folds quite compactly to store, too, so if we need the extra floor space, it's great to know we can just toss her toys in her toy basket in the other room, collapse the Poppin Seat, and store it in the closet.
I bought a second Poppin Box Seat and one of the Stacking Mesh File Crates, which fits perfectly inside, for use in our daughter's room which also serves as our office.
For $31.99 (on sale), this has made our space much more functional for us!

LOVE these storarage boxesI was fortunate enough to purchase these on sale, two in pink and two in sand, for my girls room. The height was perfect for under the windows in their room, and they hold plenty of toys.; These replaced those cheap plastic bins that you can find at any box store and are a huge improvement. Plus, they are both sturdy and comfortable to sit on. They give the impression of a window seat! Four stars instead of five because they had a strong smell when I unpackaged them - this was solved by letting them air out in the garage for about a week, and now they are perfect.

Smells awfulI was really excited to order these for my kid's playroom as the sight of toy clutter in the lidless open toy bins they currently have were driving me insane. I ordered pink, aqua and grey which look great lined up next to each other. I like a streamlined look and these are pleasing to the eye, can hold a lot and make comfy seats for kids. They are very well constructed. However, they are off gassing a smell that is SO SO SO bad. I have been airing them out for two days (indoors since this is Manhattan and we have no outdoor space) and the smell has not diminished at all. It is such a strong smell that it will transfer to their toys and I can not possibly store anything in them. If the smell does not dissipate over the next few days, I will be sending them right back. Which is a shame because they look great and are well made and functional otherwise. Perhaps I just got a bad batch as others haven't complained of a smell.

Strong odor three weeks laterI bought this as additional storage and a cute seat for my daughter's closet. It's well made and surprisingly sturdy for a box that folds up. The problem is that we've had it three weeks and it's still off-gassing a chemical smell. It was so strong we couldn't have it in the house at first. It's been in our garage and I've been putting it outside on sunny days hoping the UV will help and the strong smell is about 50% of what it was. I hope it will continue to fade but it's not quite to the point where we can have it inside. I'm also worried that anything we store inside of the box will absorb the smell. For people who already have a lot of scents in their home, it may not be noticeable. We are a fragrance-free home so the odor really stands out.

Love this boxI got two of these in the cream color (thanks CS for getting more colors!). One for my bedroom to get several pair of my shoes off the floor, keeping them accessible, but out of sight. The other is in my living room, next to my beige sofa, to store 3 extra throws, keeping them dust free and out of view. The fact that I can use it for an extra seat comes in handy.

Perfect storage cubeI bought this for my daughter's room and it works perfectly. I chose the blue and it matches great with her color scheme. Great additional storage and little seat for her. I plan to purchase another one for her.
Would you recommend this as an ottoman for a nursery?
I've been looking for a square storage ottoman for a new nursery in the teal/aqua family and this looks perfect.

The packaging claims that it supports up to 275 lbs. It feels pretty solid when I sit on it. It's low like a stool, so not chair height.

Can wheels be added
would the structure of the box support the addition of four wheels to the bottom for mobility and added height?
Asked by: BHHill
You can probably use the Magic Sliders that you would adhere to the bottom and they allow the piece of furniture to slide across the floor.

Interior dimensions?
Interior dimensions please, so I'll know what I can store in the Poppin Box Seat. Will this hold 3-ring binders and/or letter-size file folders?
Asked by: pixie123
Basically the same as outside dimensions, the walls of these boxes are just fabric and a lining so they are thin, but they have a nice substantial feel to them, they are very sturdy. I have used both the small (16"x16"x16") and large (32"x16"x16") for seating. I've got linens and sweaters in them and they hold quite a bit.

can you step on it to climb onto a dorm room bed, or just for sitting?
Asked by: EAR56
The description says not to use as a step stool. Of course, if you search "stool," on the website, the poppin boxes come right up, so I purchased one for that purpose without reading the description. Here's what happened the very first day in my daughter's dorm room.

It's a twill-like woven polyester. You can use an upholstery cleaner meant for polyester fabrics.
