To provide a steering member structure which can stably absorb an impact of an input load from a front of a vehicle.SOLUTION: A steering member structure has a support member 40 which connects a member body 3 extending in a vehicle width direction X with a dash panel 2 and supports a device (a head-up display device 70). The support member 40 has: a first support member (a first post bracket 41) disposed at one side of the device when being viewed in the vehicle width direction X; and a second support member (a second post bracket 42) disposed at the other side of the device. The first support member and the second support member include: web parts 41a, 42a; first flange parts 41b, 42b formed at one-end parts of the web parts as viewed in the vehicle width direction X; and second flange parts 41c, 42c formed at the other end parts of the web parts as viewed in the vehicle width direction X. The first flange parts 41b, 42b are formed so as to be fragile than the second flange parts 41c, 42c.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】 車両前方からの入力荷重に対して、安定して衝撃を吸収することができるステアリングメンバ構造を提供する。【解決手段】 車両幅方向Ｘに延びるメンバ本体３と、ダッシュパネル２と、の間を接続し、機器（ヘッドアップディスプレイ装置７０）を支持する支持部材４０を有するステアリングメンバ構造であって、支持部材４０は、車両幅方向Ｘで、機器の一方の側に配置される第１支持部材（第１ポストブラケット４１）と、機器の他方の側に配置される第２支持部材（第２ポストブラケット４２）と、を有し、第１支持部材と第２支持部材は、それぞれ、ウェブ部４１ａ，４２ａと、ウェブ部の車両幅方向Ｘの一方の端部に形成される第１フランジ部４１ｂ，４２ｂと、ウェブ部の車両幅方向Ｘの他方の端部に形成される第２フランジ部４１ｃ，４２ｃと、を備え、第１フランジ部４１ｂ，４２ｂは、第２フランジ部４１ｃ，４２ｃより、脆弱に形成される。【選択図】図３
