How thick and how hard is this without heating it? I need something extremely sturdy.

It is stiff enough to stand upright when held vertically from the bottom (it does not flop over). I wouldn't call it 'extremely sturdy'. If wiggled it does make a quiet thunder like noise. Once heated it is a hard plastic.

I'd say that it can handle up to a 1/4 of inch with no problem anything thicker will be tougher. Hope this helps.

It is very sturdy. We have quite a few heavy pots and pans on it and have had no issues. I have been very pleased overall with the product.

Not sure, but it's a lot more solid than I was thinking it would be. It's thick and sturdy and doesn't look or feel inexpensive.

absolutely - it is thick - I use it on our curio cabinet back side where it leans or may rub/hit the wall when we shut the doors.

It is sturdy enough but I wouldn't drill through it because you wouldn't know where the heating coils are and you could damage if not destroy the unit. I would attach to the sides of the stand the black sides using conduit to help raise the unit

It's thick and strong. We haven't had any problems with it. It works great and you can't beat the price!

I'm unsure of how much heat it can withstand. You can layer it it's pretty sticky.

It's about 1.5 mm thick but very strong. I was able to put about 300 lbs on it and not break it.

Like the responses you have received from others, I cannot tell you the thickness or gauge, but it is strong and sturdy. Mine is still going strong.

I gave it as a gift. Sent it straight to the recipient. Don't know how thick it is, but I know it can with stand 500 degrees F. I have an older type and use it every Friday night....for years. Don't use any soap on it when cleaning. Just rinse it and it will be fine. I highly recommend a stone in the oven.

It's a little thicker than heavy duty aluminum foil. Don't have an exact measurement though. It's not really flimsy & doesn't rip easily. It's really quite strong.

I really appreciate your honest feedback. We need something sturdy and that can withstand a lot of abuse, so I'll keep looking. Thanks!

Yes, it is sturdy enough. However, I would be concerned about putting any electrical heating appliance such as a toaster oven on a wood surface. Toaster ovens can overheat.

It is a plastic material. It will not take any sort of heat. It does have supports in the middle

Definitely - it's extremely sturdy - it would be difficult to bend it if you tried!

Don't know how thick, but your not gonna bust it open with a claw hammer or an axe or anything. and it is not padded inside. I just cut out a piece of foam rubber and laid it in the bottom, does fine
