Who defines it
No document linked here defines it for furniture. The FTC’s deception policy says the Commission generally will not pursue obviously exaggerated or puffing claims that ordinary buyers do not take seriously, and its substantiation policy says objective claims carry an implied reasonable basis. Which of the two a particular sturdy
is, this site does not decide.
What the listings do with it
Sellers rarely call the whole piece sturdy. They pin the word on a part: a sturdy metal frame
, a sturdy wire grid
, a sturdy steel frame
, a sturdy build
. The frame gets the adjective, and the frame gets no figure.
The listings that do print a weight capacity are three desks and one chair, and they reach for other words or none. Two of those desks print a stable steel frame
, and the other prints no frame word at all. None of the listings with a capacity prints sturdy.
A capacity figure would not make a piece stronger or weaker on the page. It would give the word something to stand on. Without one, sturdy
reads the same on a small shoe rack as on a dresser with a wooden top, and the site has no way to tell the two uses apart.
Nearby words get counted separately rather than folded in. Stable steel frame
is printed on two listings, reinforcement structure
on one and non-slip
on one. They sit in the same register as sturdy, but they are different words, and this page only counts the word in its title.
What the word does not promise
A load figure. The word does not say how much, on which part, or measured how.
The figure behind this word has its own count: Weight capacity.
Narrowing this word to a single category is the job of Word Check.
