It is VERY sturdy, in my opinion. Mine is filled with boxes of jewelry-making supplies, all glass and metal, which are pretty heavy.

I haven't used the book rack yet, but I think it would be plenty sturdy for a paperback. One thing I will suggest is gluing a little strip of non-slip rubber grippers on the bottom of the edges. I've have mine slip a few times from being lightly bumped.

It seems pretty sturdy. We haven't had any problems with it at all. The longer we have had it, the better I like it. We have had stacks of books ad a laptop on it and have not had any problems.

We used one of our half sized ones for bags and shoes and other mud room type things, and it held up fine. It is of very sturdy particle board, and it holds up many of my heaviest books and statues. I have 6 of these bookcases (of various sizes), and I haven't had a problem yet.

Seems very sturdy. I have it very full and many of the books are large and heavy.

It is fairly sturdy but I don't think it would support boxes of books but I have a container of knitting & crocheting things on top of it. I love the 2 I have and need 1 more!!!

I've used this backpack for months at college. It's always loaded with heavy books and supplies, so the handle gets a work out. Other than the screws becoming loose I haven't had any problem with the handle.

I've been using this as a book case and while it is not full yet I'm pretty confident it will hold up. It seems very sturdy to me. And it looks nice to.

I placed college text books on the bottom to help anchor the bookcase. All of the rest of the shelves I filled with books - both paperback & hardback, along with some vases & pictures on the small areas. It seems to be totally sturdy. I don't know for sure how much weight I actually have in the shelf, but it is FULL!

I think it would work well. It is pretty sturdy. My laptop weighs about 5 lbs and I don't have any weight issues with it. There is also a lip on the front that would hold a book well. The lip is about 1/2 inch thick.

I bought it for my daughter for college. She's just had it for 5 months. It is very sturdy. I've had 'all wood' ones in the past that have lasted a long time. I like the finish on this one better. I was very pleased.

I would not put a bunch of heavy books on the unit. It is fairly sturdy, but you will want a dedicated "book" shelf for what you want. This one is more for family snapshots and misc things. We only keep books on the bottom shelf.

It's very sturdy. I've had mine for years. I bought one for my sister just recently.

I bought it for my college son's dorm. My son loves it. If it can survive his first semester I would definitely say it's sturdy.
