I see some comments that the "shelves" are just 2 L shaped brackets. Would they be strong enough to hold a cable box and a DVD player?

I believe it would. We use ours at our church. It holds the DVD player 2 remotes and sometimes a Bible or two.

The shelves are just two L shaped brackets. They are pretty sturdy. I have a DVD player and cable box on mine and it's plenty strong enough for me. Depends how big and heavy they are.

Yes, I would say it may be strong enough but I would still mount it to the shelf from underneath or on each side. It is sturdy though and I love the cabinets. Remember, these are all made from particle board with a formica type coating.....but they are good quality.

The shelves wouldn't be deep enough for my DVD player or my cable box. The shelves are the depth of a DVD standing up.

I am not sure what you are considering placing on these shelves so it is difficult to assess your exact needs...if i knew your weight requirements then I could make a better assessment. I have only used them for shoes...but they are well constructed and sturdy. They feel like they could hold considerable weight without bowing or bending.

Yes, I have a shelf on my brackets. They will support about 8 pounds or so.

I think it just might work well for kitchen items. The shelves appear quite sturdy. Also good for small box items.

I definitely wouldn't risk that. It is nice, but a bit on the flimsy side. The "shelves" are made of metal strapping welded on the support bars, and the strapping is quite flexible. Hope that makes sense. The straps don't distribute weight well, so wide-based items are much better. Top heavy items (like a TV) would likely not be supported well enough. I use it for baskets, short stacks of plates and bowls, and other wide-base decorative items that sit across several of the straps.

It is holding my TV. So it probably is strong enough for a lot of books. But the shelves don't go flush against the wall (at least, mine don't), so the only problem would be the books standing up. You could lay them flat and pile them.It will probably hold a fish bowl, too, but I'd suggest putting it on the lower shelves.

They are nice sturdy Wooden shelves. The issue would probably have to do with the depth. They are only about 11" Deep. If it was a flat screen it would probably work.

I used 2 of these brackets, screwed into studs, with a 36 inch long 1x8 for the shelf. As configured, the shelf supports a variety of laundry detergents and supplies which weigh, in all, about 10 pounds. I would not use it to support anything that weighed more than 20 pounds. The brackets are well worth the money I paid for them. I wish I could send you a photo, but I don't know how.

Mine is standing on a carpet and I have a VCR (the heavier part) on the lower shelf and a DVD-Player on the second shelf. So it is sturdy. If you have three tier I don't know if it doesn't topple. Maybe you have to fix in at the wall.

The shelving unit is great for displaying lightweight objects. I would not place anything heavy (i.e. lamp, TV) on any of the shelves because there is no support in the front. The support is only on the back corner and the sides that hug the walls.

The brackets seem to be very sturdy, but your shelf will only be as strong as the thickness of the board and whether you have secured the brackets into underlying studs or not.

I use mine to hold a 32" flat screen, the stand is pretty sturdy and I house the DVD player on the convenient built in shelf underneath.

If it is on a sturdy surface, where it wouldn't move, it may hold up to 30#. I use it for components, Direct TV Genie box, Blueray/DVD player and Home theater receiver. The top panel overlaps the side panels, so it could support a small TV, if that is what you want to use it to do.

This is pretty sturdy and I think it would handle DVDs fine. I made some interior drawers for the shelves. You would probably have to have some more shelves for the interior depending on how many DVDs you have.

There is a shelf for each side. It is big enough for cable box & DVD player
