Extremely sturdy. My sons, ages 11 and 13, have been known to sit on the extension without issue... Although i'd prefer they not :)

I find it to be very solid. There is a collapsible support on each side that makes the extension very solid.

Yes. The extension is attached with 3 or 4 large door hinges. When the extension is lifted into place, hinged support braces can be pivoted into place to support the top. The supports snap into plastic retainers so the supports can't move to the side until you lift the extension a little to release them. When the extension is down, the supports are hidden by the extension. We have had no problems with the extension and it is definitely sturdy enough to lean on.

Yes, it has held up very well for us. We don't sit at the extension a lot, but there have been several times that we have used the island top and extension for dinner prep. We are very pleased with the purchase.

Yes, after finally putting the island together, it is sturdy, the extension fits into two slots for strength. This island is a very nice piece of furniture. Does not look like something you put together yourself.

It's pretty sturdy if you install it properly. Granted, I'm not twisting and turning mine constantly but I'm not worried it's going to fall over.

Yep, it's sturdy! It's all in the mounting, though, just make sure you're mounting it at a good place in your wall and that the screws are tight and properly done.

Yes it is fairly sturdy but I wouldn't put too much weight on it. You may damage the connecting door hinges to the unit.

Yes, it is very sturdy. I don't think they should bang it on something repeatedly, but waving it around will never break it.
