Not a two ton waterbed, just walking 'round.

Everyone I have seen is only okay for storage, there is just enough room to move around in a half-standing position. I wouldn't put much weight up there, but maybe the builder can give you some load limits. I have a few hundred pounds of stuff, spread around and I am also up there when I need to retrieve a stored item.

On our first home we paid extra to have the space built during construction, which included the flooring. In our current home we had to add the flooring after purchase.
