It depends on what you are putting on it. I started with a very heavy Bogan. I could sit on it and it would hold me up. I am over 200lbs. I am not telling how much over. I had a Bronica at the time. I let my 2 year old son play with it. He liked to put a blanket over it like a teepee. He broke one of the legs off. I have no idea how he did this. My dad always said I could tear up a steel ball. My wife thought he was terrible to say that till my son came along.


Bottom line, if you are letting your 2 year old play with it, it needs to be stronger than a steel ball. LOL
