Any idea what the maximum load per shelf would be?

I think you could easily get away with 10lbs. on each shelf. The construction is quite solid.

Not sure, I bought this for my mom. But, I can tell you she has the shelves filed with ask her nice China. Hasn't been a problem.

Hi Zach, The single shelf has a 17lbs max, double has like 25lbs, and triple has like 40lbs. I have a few singles and 1 triple. I personally would only put about 15-20lbs on the single (if you screw into a wall stud).

I wouldn't be able to completely answer that question. The maximum weight i have exerted on one shelf is about 15 pounds which is books. I wouldn't try to put anything too heavy on it. My weight is distributed on the shelves.The shelves are wider as it gets to the bottom.

I don't think there's a single answer to this. It depends on how much wider the shelf is than the bracket. The brackets are quite strong. For an 8 - 10 inch wide shelf, I would guess that each bracket can support 50 pounds or possibly more.

Hello! Sorry that is not immediately answer. I use this shelf for lightweight items, but it is made very hard and well. For the experiment, put 2 bottles (1 liter each) of olive oil and 2 packs of coffee (500 grams). And it has withstood the weight perfectly. I hope this will help you with the choice Sorry my bad English. I wish you a good shopping!

Not sure what their exact limit is but I would not put more than a couple of pounds on each shelf. As I stated in my review the side rail broke while we we assembling it. I am still waiting to hear back from the company...guess its a good thing I didn't hold my breath!

I think they are really good shelfs but, I wouldn't load them that heavy for several reasons. I would never load anything at the maximum load. It is just asking for trouble. I always like to give myself a little safety factor in case somethind strange occurs. It very well may hold 350 lbs per shelf but why press your luck. If you want a shelf to hold that much you should buy a commercial shelving unit.

I have 5 units now - one 3-tier, four 5-tier - from 2 different suppliers. I have them crammed with books. No problem. They are metal and very sturdy. I cannot find a specification for weight per shelf.

Ikea website states a max load of 66 lbs per shelf. If displaying lots of books or kitchen ware it might be a good idea to have equal weight distribution on a single shelf based on the supports. Securing to the wall would be good as well. I spray painted mine and replaced dark shelves with wood. It's used as a rotating display of family collectibles and mementos so weight hasn't been an issue.

Thank you for your inquiry on the Howard Miller Berends curio cabinet. Although Howard Miller does not specifically state a maximum shelf weight for their curios, they do state in the curio instructions included with each crio that heavy loads must be distributed and should not exceed 25 pounds, and that "good judgment" should be used when placing objects on the shelves.I hope this answers your question. If you have any other questions, just let me know.Regards,BarbaraWeatherBuffs(928) 635-1088

I've got tons of books and trinkets on mine... But don't do anything over 30 or 40 pounds on each shelf. The shelves are made of glass :/

The booklet said it could support 50 pounds per shelf. As an added precaution we placed a 1x2 firing strip on the wall then rested the bottom of the cabinet on top of it so that the firing strip acted as bottom support for the cabinet. We have used ours now for about 4 months and am quite pleased with the cabinet.

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.

Maybe 5lbs each shelf? It depends what you're putting on them because they will lean forward or back if something is too close to the front or back...

I have 2 sets of China and curios in it. Not exactly sure how much weight each shelf can hold.

Manufacturer recommends no more than 25 lbs. per shelf. You will notice bowing if you exceed the recommendation. I have heavy books and kept them to each side on selves and placed decorative items on shelf in middle. Very attractive unit (although a real chore to assemble).
