No. At least not Lydia. When I trade stuff with her, at one point it becomes impossible to give her heavy stuff. But together we can definitely carry around 7 bars of solid Dwemer metal, which is 35 ingots.
As an alchemist however, potions are so heavy and come too often. D: I frequently need to clean that inventory out.
Wrong. It doesn't work with the "I need to trade some things with you" option. You have to 'Command' them (by pointing the crosshair at them and holding the use key) to pick stuff up that you drop on the ground, or that is already on the ground. When done this way, they can literally carry an infinite amount of items.
DarkED those Iron Daggers are actually only 1 Iron ingot, and 1 leather strip, instead of 2. I'm a mage but my smithing is level 52. I'll be leveling as much as i can in everything. I too wish there was an enchanting table in my house. Perhaps someone will make one in there via mod? I'd get that mod for sure.
Whoops, my bad, I thought it was two leather strips. That's even better then.
EDIT: Well I tried DarkEd's method of picking stuff up by having her pick up 24 iron ores that I had dropped... I had only one when I went back home. I don't think I'll be using it again.
Yeah, I just discovered that myself; you can't use this with stacks of items. They glitch out and all but one disappear. If you have a stack of, say, 10 heavy armor pieces in your inventory, just drop them one-by-one then have her pick them all up one after the other. It works, trust me. I once had Lydia bring home enough pieces of Solid Dwemer Metal to smelt 200 Dwemer Metal ingots.
I didn't feel ripped off by the lack of storage.
I felt ripped off at the very condition of the house itself.
it's supposedly the gem of player-owned homes located in the heart of the most magnificent city in the game. but it's full of cobwebs! did you notice this the first time you went inside? god damn cobwebs everywhere! in every corner of every room in the house.
what kind of bullshit is this?
I'm the god damn Thane, hero to the queen Jarl and several of her highest ranking officials. you'd think the least they could do when selling me their finest residence is clean the place up. ffs.
Yeah, true. There's also a glitch in the basement where a hay texture floats in mid-air; it's near the barrel that has all the Iron Ingots stacked on it. It seems like they didn't do much QA testing on that house.
Also, keep in mind that the room in basement with lots of cobwebs and extra furniture is actually your guest bedroom, which your housecarl will move into when you become Thane of Solitude. So that room will look a lot nicer after that. But otherwise, yeah, the house in Whiterun is plenty good enough for me. If only it had that damn enchant table!
I can't find it now but I did find a mod for that place somewhere that made it look a lot nicer and put a lot more places for storage inside.
if it's anywhere, it's probably here.

I've looked and looked and haven't found any mods for any of the houses yet. In fact, I'd say it's probably impossible right now because the Creation Kit isn't out yet. But if you did see a mod like that and you find it, please let me know!
