Is the bottom portion rigid enough to support the top if the bottom is not full, but the top is filled with heavy items?

It will.... for awhile. I'd recommend heavier items be placed in the bottom.

Yes, sturdy enough for sure. Check other Q&As; for measurements to be sure you can at least slide your items in from the side to fit.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. You could also put anything really heavy on the bottom.

Yes it is but don't put anything in the least bit heavy on it. It will collapse as both of mine did.

It is made from a thin gauge metal so I would not put anything to heavy on top. Hope this helps.

Yes, the bottom shelf has extra support and should handle that weight with not problem. The other shelves I would not put a lot of weight on them.

Yes, the top is sturdy enough to stack things. I have a couple of blankets & pillows on top of mine. It's fairly strong.

If you put it together well, I think it could hold that. I don't have anything too heavy on it, but it seems pretty sturdy. FYI - putting it together takes a LONG TIME and the box is very very heavy!

You need to put something in the bottom because it is just fabric. The sides are sturdy but the bottom needs support

No. I put a glass fish bowl with sand and shells in the middle of the bottom shelf. After a few weeks the shelf was sagging in the middle; I moved the bowl to one side of the shelf and seems okay. The top is stronger, but I wouldn't recommend anything that heavy.

Yes, that should be fine. Especially if you have stuff in it. If not, then it won't topple, but it might budge.

Yes- but not super firm- more like a stiff material. My wife has had no issues of it collapsing at the bottom.

The bottom has a little rigidity to it but not much. I just solve the problem by distributing heavier items--viz. ammo boxes-- evenly across the bottom.

I'd say yes, however I've noticed that when I close the drawers the few items I have on the top of it do move/"rattle" a little bit. Just something to be aware of. Definitely sturdy though otherwise.

I think this supports quite a lot of weight. I believe that it tells you that in the description. It does come with a shelf at the bottom, too. The bottom shelf would not hold as much as the top. However, as the other reviewers have stated, it is a solid stainless steel table and would hold quite a lot of weight!

I think it depends what you're loading it with but the bottom should be sturdy enough to go on a cart and be loaded with brochures and lighter items.

It sits pretty solid especially when full. I don't think it would be a problem.
