Not much. Pull it off and put it on a bathroom scale.

Found it in a sticky post, should have looked before I posted. It weighs 21 lbs., which seems like no big deal except I had spinal fusion surgery 10 weeks ago and am not supposed to lift more than 20 lbs. and then only if it is close to my body. I probably copulated vertically because I took the top off my toy this morning and I have a problem this evening.

Probably should have asked about the weight yesterday.

Not sure of the exact weight but the Lexan top is lighter than the painted top.
