I'm thinking of using these to slide out a media bookcase and wondered if two sets (top and bottom) would increase the load rating to 300lbs.?

I have no idea. I used one set to make a pull out trash can for my cabinets. The slides hold a 30 gal can for trash and a 30 gal can for recycling plus the weight of the wood make 20 lbs. If your asking g if one set can hold 300 I don't see why not if your asking if two sets can hold 300 lb I would say yeah they are made very well.

I would think it would as long as you got the spacing just right so that the weight of the drawer was distributed somewhat evenly between the two slides on each side.

They are very strong so it would probably work but I would suggest using two!

Yes. I put some books and files (Almost 12 lbs) on top ths cabinet and seems to be strong enough to hold.

My two lowest shelves are full of hardbound textbooks and binders full of papers. The next two hold normal sized hardbound books and the top shelf is full of CDs and DVDs. As long as you put the heaviest on the bottom, I don't think you will have any problems. The whole unit might be light when empty, but it can really hold a lot without sagging.

I've only used them to hang pottery plates/platters, some quite heavy. I have always used just one and had no problems. I think you will be fine with two disks.

I honestly haven't put a ton of weight on them. I have all kids books loaded in one of the small baskets on the upper shelf, but the second small basket just has toys in it, as well as the big basket on the bottom. They can probably hold a good bit of weight. I don't think I would have trouble if it were all books.

Might work on bottom 3 shelves but not the top. Should have no problem holding the weight but may be too wobbly

I'm using them on a bookcase unit with hard cover books and they're holding, but sagging out at the top. It is because my shelf is a little too small for the width of the bookcase. They certainly seem better than the peg kind I was using which would not hold the shelf in place.

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!

you would have to buy extra components and brackets to do so. It does not come with them>However I do not think it would NOT be able to support the weight of whatever you decide to put in there. Especially if you are thinking DVD or Books.

I am guessing, since this is a patio, that the angle isn't too extreme and the surface isn't overly slick. With those assumptions in mind, I do expect it would work, but I have only ever used them to support bookcases. And if it did slide on its own, you could certainly anchor it with something after getting the angle you needed.

I really would not. These are for more for stationary items. Even then, our bed seems a little unstable, but that is due to how high up these put our bed. If you put them on a glider I can only imgine the rocking back and forth force, will cause the whole thing to topple over.

Depends if it is the fixed shelf or adjustable. No hardbacks in the middle of adjustable. I haven't had any bending with mine, but I use mine to display all sorts of different items, not just books. Disperse the weight and you should be alright unless your item is super heavy and right in the middle of the shelf. They aren't as flimsy as some reviews claimed them to be but they aren't Ethan Allen either ;-)

I don't think they have enough strength for that use. I have used them to lift up a painting over a flat screen tv. The painting is larger than the max cabinet dimensions in the specs and the lifters needed to be replaced after three years.

I purchased this bookshelf and it is great!, it is very strong, will it hold the weight of the books? yes, but... if there is any floor inclination... then it might fall forward. I am using it for computer devices, and other related game accessories.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it... maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok. So, good luck.

No not at all. these are quite strong and solid. Weight should not be a concern.
