That doesn’t mean that all load-bearing parts are lego. It has a steel frame, as the article states.

Exactly. No matter what your engineering skills are, the thickest Lego bricks cannot withstand a grownup man sitting on them.

I regularly sit on creations out of my daughter's duplo.

The base of the Super Awesome Micro Project (a LEGO hotrod built a few years ago, who could travel at 20mph) was pure LEGO; only the four struts connected to the wheels weren't.

Was always curious about that. Got any pictures of the build?

I've built usable furniture out of Lego, including chairs and I could sit on it just fine. It's incredibly strong if you use it wisely.
