Approx how much weight can the island itself hold? (i.e. on top of the main body, not on the dinette extension)

My 53 lb. 7 year old son sits on it sometimes, it holds him up pretty well, lol. We tend to pile a lot of stuff on it sometimes, so I think it is pretty sturdy.

It is very sturdy...I even saw one pic that showed a 4 or 5 year old child lying on the top.(I searched other web sites on the product.) I have all my canisters and a container with my utensils on top, on the dinette extension, because I have it against the wall..very sturdy. The drawers are not real deep to the back, but holds all my things. I even store my trash bags and baggies in the bottom drawer with loads of other things. I do have the top area cleared for workspace and chopping, etc.

Weight wise, not exactly certain but It is very sturdy. Probably because all of the cabinetry is underneath that portion. Just last night I had a dutch oven, another 9x13 glass dish, 5 glass plates, and a couple other dishes on there. Not a problem whatsoever. After it was cleaned off I came back into the room to find a 24lb 2 year standing on it. AHHH. Not what it is made for but it was still very sturdy. It has handled everything wonderfully. I hope that helps a little.

As I recall, the official weight limit for the top shelf is around 35 pounds, butthese things are built like a fortress.

I no longer have the documents, but I think about 250 lbs. I have stood on it, at 210 lbs, but I would not recommend that.

Yes--it's very heavy as well. Make sure you have at least two people when you try to place it on the finished cart. The island is great, everything we wanted, but placing the granite on top got a little scary when it turned out a wheel wasn't in securely and popped out. Once you're past that bit, you're good.

While it's a great looking piece, I don't think it would be sturdy enough for an island.

Hi Brenda - I don't know what the official limit is but I can tell you how I have them. I have a stack of two - the top one has an old radio on it that weighs 25 pounds. The one on the bottom supports all that weight, plus the top stand plus 2 smaller radios weighing about 10 pounds. So the bottom stand supports a little over 35 pounds with know evidence of overloading and no sagging.

The cart is about 6 inches lower than my counter tops. I think it would be awkward to use it as an island for an average height person. I use it for storage mostly, the top is nice to keep a stand mixer on and extra counter space.

I have mine at the end of my island and have no problems. Am really pleased with this product.

I am not sure but I would say it could hold at least 300 maybe more I weight 115 and my weight does not even do anything to it!

I bought it for my mother-in-law as a gift and she filled it with several heavy pots and pans plus a few wooden cutting boards. Just an estimate, but I think it easily holds 75 pounds and maybe more. It looks fantastic and is very sturdy. I would recommend getting some extra hooks for it.

Assuming there are 4 legs in the island, that gives a load of less than 40 lbs per leveler. No problem.

We built four of them into our island and use them to hold appliances that we only occasionally use, like the mixer, the crock pot, the juicer, etc. so it holds quite a bit of weight. It would definitely hold a set of pots and pans or ceramic mixing bowls or serve as a shelf in a pantry. It's pretty sturdy.

I use it mostly as a stool. It's really heavy duty in that regard so I think it would hold quite a bit of weight.

This is not an official person but I am sure its at least 300 pounds, I have had several friends that are over that amount sit in it with no problems.

The island is pretty heavy & sturdy, more like a permantly placed piece at least in my opinion. I think wheels would detract from the overall appearance if this island. I have the black one.

Since the unit is quite stable I would expect that it could hold 75 pounds very easily. TV should be less than that. You must assemble properly so that the back panel gives it the rigidity needed, but it should not be problem if done correctly. Assembly is not difficult, but just follow the proper sequence and there should be no problem with that weight on the top.

We use these chairs on our kitchen island every night. My husband weighs about 200lbs and he sits in the chair just fine.
