Can a mobile pedestal be used as temporary seating?

Mobile pedestals with a cushion top — an upholstered pad that sits on the pedestal lid — are frequently used as an additional informal seat when a colleague visits the desk for a quick conversation. This dual use (storage + seating) is by design in many pedestal models and is a popular feature in open-plan and hot-desking offices where additional seating is needed occasionally but dedicated guest chairs take too much floor space. The cushion typically supports up to 250 lbs and is covered in vinyl or fabric to match the office color scheme.
