how much weight can each tile hold? I want to put large heavy planters on top of them

I weigh 180 and I can walk on mine. You do have to make sure the ground is level.

I found that the pavers were very spongy feeling when you walked on them, just because they are made of hard plastic, if you have them just on grass with nothing underneath I don't think I would put a large heavy planter on them as they would probably sink or maybe even crack plus the sun fades them a lot so you will have an impression of the planter on the paver if you were to move the paver. Hope this helped you.

I use them for pots and pans and I guess the heaviest one is about 2 pounds and they are not sagging or acting stressed. Guess they could hold 5 pounds easily each

While I am not able to verify exact tolerance weights as to the specifications you query, I am currently using the shelves upstairs to support big pots full of rocks and dirt and plants. I figure each pot weighs close to 30-35 pounds, and there are four on each shelf, plus littler plants in smaller pots, also filled with rocks and dirt. Heavy! Yet to date the entire shelf structure is still holding steady. In fact it seems like it would exceed expectations if put to the test. I can't imagine any of the components collapsing under even 350 pounds, it is a genius design. Highly recommend.

I don't use them for hanging plants, but my wife has. She has had them break with heavy plants. We don't have a specific weight.

I have 3 plants on the stand probably ranging from 5 to 8 pounds with the pots. I too have thick carpets so I bought a square tile for it to sit on. I am very happy with this stand, it's perfect for my apartment!

The weight should be ok, I don't know how you'd place them other than flat, or lean them against plates that are already standing up..

We put large hanging flower pots on them. When filled with water they probably weigh 20 pounds. However, they are not free-standing but are secured to a fence.

I would absolutely anchor it. If you don't you will most likely have a big mess on your hands as in gusts of wind, pets or kids knocking it over. I haven't planted the boxes yet but with it freestanding on my tile floor is it wobbly. That being said, I love this planter box.

The disc are quite strong, I used them on deco plates. I don't know how heavy these tiles of your are but I think the 4 " would hold about 5 pounds. Make sure to follow the directions carefully.

I agree with Bruce. They are fairly sturdy, if you lay them flat they are more rigid...I would say if the weight is distributed evenly and no sharp indentations are made, they could probably support 20-30 lbs each without being damaged.

the tiles are pretty heavy, maybe 15 grams each? Heavier than normal plastic or wood, but lighter than stone/bone/metal.

I have a lot of plants, decoration type items on mine...it is quite sturdy..as far as lbs go, not sure but the shelves are very sturdy! I love mine and have it on our covered deck!

Yesi believe you could screw a set into the threaded holes they have for the adjustable legs. I would think these would need to be very sturdy for the unit is heavy.It may leave a impresion in the floor if not a hard tile.

Hi, I would put plants on this cautiously. I would not put anything very heavy; might be suitable for a 4 inch pot or a little larger on the bottom shelf. I had my husband look too and he feels the same, it would hold smaller plants and pots but not large pots with lots of dirt. Also, I would fear damage to the finish on the shelves, it would need to be sitting on something very protective. That being said, this is a beautiful piece, I have a small lamp and Longaberger baskets on it, but nothing heavy. The scroll work is very lovely and I get lots of compliments on it.

I'm not home at the moment (back Sun night) so I can't do any measuring. I'm just not sure, from here, about an answer for you. You could always try, and return them if it didn't work. I think they are very pretty. Would your wall hold the weight? Sorry to not be more helpful...

Probably not the best option because the surface of this is not flat. I would suggest you get a dolly that has flat legs. For planters these work great.

Hi, Murphy: Yes, I would say you definitely could do that, providing it didn't weigh a "ton". It is such a nice holder for plants and if you were careful what you put into it I am pretty sure it would work out fine for you providing it wasn't a huge plant. Good luck!
