How thick is the plastic? It looks from the picture like about 1/16", but I'd prefer 1/8" to resist breaking.

I have used mine for a year with large textbooks and it hasn't broken yet. I think it is pretty sturdy.

Have not measured! It works very well just do not use a very "fat" dictionary!

It's probably thinner than 1/8" but I haven't had any problems with it. Haven't put a Funk & Wagnall's dictionary on it, but for normal hardbacks ...it seems to work fine!

The plastic is roughly 1/8" thick. It's fairly sturdy -- I've been happy with my book holder.

it is somewhere inbetween. But not brittle at all - I don't think you will have an issue with it breaking -

I don't have it in front of me to measure exact thickness, but it is good quality, sturdy (I'd consider thick) plastic. My 2 yr old loves zooming down the little hill next to our house in the winter & when he was 1 yr old I pulled him around the streets with it. I haven't had any problems with it cracking or pieces chipping off. We have been really happy with this sled & this year it will get passed on to the 1 yr old daughter!

It's not very thick, but I couldn't tell you the exact diameter. Ask the seller

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.

I am not at the house right now so I cant give an exact measurement, but I'd say it is close to 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

It is exactly 1/16th. of an inch thick. They really should post this info with the product. I bought this May 2010 and they have sent me this question over and over. Hope this helps you.

It's a heavy plastic but still bendable to avoid cracking. Very well worth it!!

I hope this makes sense as I am measuring it below the plastic. 6/16" or 1CM is as close as I can come.

It's about 1/16" thick. There are little nubs that stick out about 1/8. It is working well for me. It is somewhat flexible but seems to come back to flat.

I just measured it and it's 1 inch around the edge but gets thicker in the middle. It's very close to 1 1/4 inches at its thickest point.

I don't know the exact thickness. But it's sturdy. It doesn't feel as though it will break

It is about 2/16 of an inch. Solid/sturdy and coated with heavy duty plastic. I will try to post a picture in a review.

I did not measure it exactly, but if I had to guess, I would say it's a little thicker than 1/4"

The plastic is not very thick, around 1/32 of an inch, but kept our daughter out of danger. No way for her to go through it.

About 1.5". I've been using mine for a few months so it may start out a bit thicker.

No sure exactly but it's thicker than I thought it would be. My guess would be thicker than 1/2". Probably 5/8.

it's very heavy duty 3/16" plastic. it is malleable, however, and shouldn't crack if cut. you could cut it with something like sheet metal shears, i would imagine.
