how much weight does each shelf hold?

Not sure of exact weight it can hold but these shelves are very sturdy & made of heavy wood so im sure it can hold quite a bit.

They are pretty sturdy, you can easily do 10-15 pounds per shelf. It is 3/4" composite board material so it's going to hold a full load of books if you needed.

I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood.

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

I have no idea how much each shelf can hold, but we're using our cabinet as a pantry - canned goods, cleaning sprays, etc. There has been no bowing of the shelves, but so far they're not completely full. We're very pleased with the storage unit and feel it's well-built and appears sturdy.

I'm not sure because mine are different sizes depending on how many shelves I used on each one. I bought six units and use them in my basement. They're very easy to assemble, no tools, nuts or bolts needed and mine are holding everything very well. They're not meant for anything too heavy but so far I've had no problem .

The shelves are very sturdy , I feel they would hold a set of encyclopedias...I do not know the weight limit on them

I have shoes on these shelves. I guess it would depend on how you have the unit attached, to walls or free standing units . Im sure they could hold more than 50 lbs easily.

Hi Carol, The items shelves are only meant to hold around 30-40 lbs. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Manhattan Lane Support Team

The shelves themselves can hold quite a bit. The prescribed method of attaching to the top of the frame will not support what the shelves can hold. Short answer? 7 lbs or so, maybe.

I don't know, I use them for my son video game system and controllers. The shelves are metal and seems to be very strong and I feel the could hold at least 30 or more pounds easily

They're pretty sturdy shelves, as is the entire unit. The weight limit per shelf, from top shelf to bottom is: 25 lbs, 25 lbs, 35 lbs, 25 lbs, and 40 lbs.

They're really pretty sturdy, I don't think the weight would be an issue. You can check the dimensions of the shelves under product details to see if those will fit.

The rack can hold 250 lbs on each shelf. With the wheels, it can 75 lbs on each shelf. Per the manufacturers website. http://www.origamirack.com/frontend/product_R5.asp

This will easily hold 40 pounds and more (Up to 100). You need to make sure to locate a wooden 2X4 and secure the shelf with either the screws provided or longer lag screws that you can get from the hardware store.

Hi Anita, Each individual shelf can hold up to 120 lbs (on casters) and 600 lbs (on feet levelers). Total weight capacity: 600 lbs (on casters) and 3,000 lbs (on feet levelers). Hope that helps and thank you! TRINITY

I'm not sure. An entire unit definitely holds 200 lbs. I'm not sure about individual shelves.

I have three cast iron skillets (an 8"10" and 15") and they shelf has no trouble supporting it. I am not sure how much they each weigh but I'd guess at least 30 pounds. The aluminum brackets are very sturdy and the shelves themselves are very sturdy as well.
