How Much Does Each Shelf Unit Hold?

Each shelve can be filled from end to end with books. I've had the shelve for quite a few months and the shelves have yet to bend.

How much weight can each shelf hold? I bought a cheap wood one two years ago and the shelves have got to the point it looks bent. I need something that will hold at least 40 pounds for each shelf since there is five all together. Is it flimsily? I need something that is strong and that won't bend.

It can hold quite a bit. The shelves are very sturdy. I have 5 - 16oz water bottles in one of the drawers with no problems. I have been very pleased with the sturdiness of this unit.

I have 27 shelves. This is a lot of room for what I needed. It all depends on how you place the shelves.

Not sure. I put a lot on these shelves and it holds up to it. They themselves are very light and I can move them around in the closet or use them in two pieces so I can put them on the top shelf if my closet to organize.

Hmmm... 50lbs of weight on one shelf... that may be pushing it? I'd say about 25-30lbs max on each shelf.... Sorry!

Based on what I have stored on these shelves, they easily hold over 600#. Of course the weight is pretty evenly distributed.

I wouldn't put many (and just at the bottom. They would have to be the small books as well - DVD size. I love these shelves for my movies. They hold 50-55 (average) DVD / BluRays. I hope this helps.

Will hold them fine. Shelf has spaces about 1.5 inches apart from one another. Will still hold at least 3 per shelf.

The shelves are screwed in and I have a gallon of water stored on the two bottom shelves. They weigh about 8.3 lbs ea. One gallon per shelf is all that will fit. If the cans aren't too heavy they should hold up quite well depending on how many cans and their weight.

Shelves are 17.5 wide X 11.8 deep The unit will hold about 15-17 pounds on each shelf. I have my DVD player on a shelf My cable box on a shelf and my wii and router on a shelf with no problems. I hope this helps

Each shelf holds 30 lbs. We had a big dishnet receiver on one shelf, xbox on another, and dvd on the third. We love it.

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

I would guess about 15-20 lbs. I use mine for dvd's and VHS tapes and each shelf is loaded. My only issue was because I used it for that it didn't hold as many as I hoped.

I don't use it for that purpose, but I bet it would hold more than 10. Probably 5-6 on the bottom shelf, 4 on the middle, and another 2-3 on the top shelf. But I haven't tried it.

A lot. I would say at least 800, maybe more. There's plenty of shelves and it holds @ 400 DVD s.

I will estimate that each shelf can hold close to 30 DVDs. I stand them up with the title outward. I enjoy my cabinet and is just the thing to have for this purpose. I use a small LED light at night when needed to find my DVD of interest. Take your time building it so that it all fits well.
