Now of course it's not a solid rectangular prism, those measurements are the extremities, so let's say as little as 1/3 of that volume is actual gold. That's 84,645 cubic centimeters (again with rounding.)

Solid gold weighs 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter. Meaning this thing weighs about 1,635,346 grams = 1,635 kilograms = 3,605 pounds = 1.64 tons.

The article mentions they used "at least two vehicles" to get away, which makes sense, but that's a hell of a thing to dolly out the door in the first place.

The weight of the contraption also crossed my mind.
The photo in my post mentioned above shows the throne installed on wooden floorboards which I assume are at Blenheim Palace on the ground floor and hopefully well supported.
I can't imagine that anyone would risk installing it on an upper floor!
