I want to use this for plates. Will a plate fit on each shelf?

Each shelf is a different size- so it could reasonably be used for plate stacking. However- the tower is metal- I would not use it for fragile plates due to risk of cracking/shattering a plate accidently. But I'd all uses are gentle- might work.

Yes, it will, but smaller ones. Not the tall skinny kind, you would only be able to put them on the top shelf.

I have used several of mine for text books and they have preformed well but they are sitting on a hard surface and not stacked on top of one another. Think they would work for plates.

I don't think this is designed to hold things like sheet pans. The sides are wide open and the pans would justfall to one side. The shelf is perfect for the things shown in the illustration.

No; the top shelf ends up being smaller than the bottom shelf do the others. Im pretty sure it wouldn't work! ;)

HI,I sell vintage dishes and glassware at various outdoor venues. I bought 5 of these to display dishes. They work great for me. I can usually fit a dinner plate, salad plate and saucer into each opening. I feel that the rack would be sturdy enough for cutting boards. If you are moving the rack when full, you need to hold from the bottom.

This shelf will serve you well. I have six heavy ceramic 10.5 in plates on the top shelf as well as a ceramic serving platter.On the second shelf I have two sets of four i.e. eight, 8.5 inch plates. There is not even a slight bend of the shelf.

The shelf itself is pretty small. I have a pretty large/heavy Infinity center spkr. on it, so I placed another shelf from an old system on it to handle the overlap. Works fine like that.

Yes but its huge! I have a side by side fridge and have the shelves spaced far apart and it works. Don,t know that it would fit in my moms normal fridge. Its more about its height than the width

Yes that size plate will fit. I purchased this dish rack to fit in my smaller sink. It works great.

No it will not fit. I use it on a lower corner cabinet shelf. I have room to also set things under it.

I am currently stacking mine 3 up on a shelf in my closet. They are remarkably sturdy when loaded with a dozen plates. I think you will be safe stacking up to four boxes tall especially if you put the lightest boxes on top.

I would think it depends on how many are used to support your shelf. I tend to put my really heavy stuff on bottom shelves, but have not had a problem with them supporting a pile of plates. My dish shelf is supported with 6 pegs and holds 10 soup bowls and a bunch of mugs.

Yes you can. Just move one of the shelves up to next notch and it will fit.

sure Karen ~ I have two of these and I have used mine for large dinner plates that are difficult to retrieve when stacked, for cutting boards and as you asked, for platters. These dish racks are pretty sturdy so I think unless your platters are huge and extremely heavy you should be good!

I apologize....I was just now able to get this item out of my closet to check. It definitely would not hold regular dinner plates. The plates that come with the set are approximately 8 inches and what you don't see is that they have depth to them (almost like a bowl). This allows them to sit securely on the metal stand. A regular plate (big or small) would likely slide off. I hope this information helps. Again, I'm sorry for the delay in responding. Good Luck!

I don't think it would be a problem on any single shelve or multiple shelves but would recommend placing a ream on the bottom shelve to be sure. I don't think more than one full ream would fit on any individual shelve.Please be advised this product is made of cardboard but it is very sturdy.
