On mine the center area was around 19lbs. I didnt weigh the sides, but I did full tubs at the same time, and removed a total of about 94lbs. That doesnt include the 15 to 20 lbs I put back in.

Trust me, with the urethane it feels like it is welded in. You can put anything back there with no worries of it falling out.
