Is the lid hollowed out so it can increase capacity?

It is, slightly; maybe 2-3". While I do love the look of this bench, the storage capacity is less than what I expected. I purchased it for the purpose of storing our bed pillows during the day-we can fit 3 in the bench, but I have to arrange them in exactly the right order, otherwise the lid does not close completely.

No, it's not because it is a cushion. I love ours. It stays up on its on so no pinched kid fingers. Great quality.

no it is solid and covered in the same fabric as the rest of the interior. If it were hollow I think the top would would loose its support as a bench

Yes, but I took it out. I think why is because when opening the lid it keep falling out. I've had it for awhile and still using it.

I purchased because the answers said the handle is not hollow. I just received it and it is definitely hollow. It will be difficult to keep clean because the opening at the top is a lot smaller than the bottom opening. Returning this one.

The top is hollow. If I was to do this I would try to glue in a PVC insert to support the area and keep any liquid out.

The lid is stainless and hollow, so doesn't heat up easily. It is a great product!

Not per se, but there are raised ridges, for lack of a better description, that create indentations on both ends that allow you to grip. When you use these the lids are on top. This pic is a bit misleading. I used it like a regular cooler with the lid up.

Yes, but the cap that comes with it cannot be removed, so you can't drain and refill it. I used a milk jug lid instead and that works just fine. It will leak when stood on end but not when horizontal.

No, not if you fill it to capacity. It is much taller than that when full. Forever Student

yes! do not pour food or liquid above the fill line which is basically where the bottom of the lid will rest once closed.

Yes. With the bottom flat on the ground, the lid will stay up when opened.I have 3 of these and love them. Bought two several years ago and still as good/work as new.

Not sure I understand the question. As long as the lid is screwed on, it does not leak but, obviously, if you remove the lid and turn it on its side the contents will pour out.

No. It is just hollow with no top/lid and the food free-falls. We use it to feed our cats and I like the chicken feeder idea.

No, not hollowed out. The back form is substantial and has a good weight to it. There is a little dip in the back, near the top where the little circular design is, but I'd say it only follows the design and in no way detracts from the quality. I use mine for everyday. They'd also be fine for special occasions.

Yes, as shown in the picture. Not so much as to not leak but fits tight. There are steam vents in the lid. If you reverse the lid from what is shown you can fill and steam more veggies, but the lid does not fit as tight. I have had no regrets in buying and using this item. I have given it as a gift which the receiver has been equally as happy with. Might just get me another one.

Yes the base is hollow. I purchased this to set on the location for filling the fuel oil tank. Easy to move when necessary. Safely hidden the rest the time

there is a hole for the s[poon resting. I do like this feature but to understand this was made by most people requested. You try to ask the lids with the hole.

I can't answer that but I can say that the lid is not desugbed well and is very hard to get in and out.
