How heavy is the shelf once assembled? Meaning, nothing is on the shelves, just the shelf itself.

pretty heavy..like over 150 lbs. but I have never weighed nor moved upstairs. After I constructed it I put it on furniture slides and moved it down the hallway.

I wouldn't put anything heavy (books, electronics, donkeys, etc) on it...it's fabric and the attachments are little plastic pieces. Buy a shelf. Otherwise this is a solid piece.

About 30-40 lbs per shelf. We have books from one end to the other without any problem.

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

This furniture is light duty stuff. I use mine as a night stand, it is really not made to hold heavy items. The center shelf, may hold up to say 7-8 pounds before bowing, the top of the unit, up to say 10 pounds tops. The unit is held together (its shape) by the thin cardboard backing that you will nail in place with penny nails. I hope this helps, but again, this is light duty furniture, meant more for adult use. I could see kids tearing this apart in short order. No idea on any warranty.

The actual shelves look like they are made from particle board. They are strong and heavy. This unit weighed 92 lbs in the package

I have three of these units. While the rating is 150 lbs. for each shelf, I have one of the units with at least 150 lbs. on each shelf...accept the top. There is easily 500 -600 lbs. on the five shelf unit. It is that well engineered. However, I don't know what kind of a side load the unit would take if pushed on, and don't really care to find out. If you are in an earthquake area i would definitely anchor it to a wall if completely loaded.

The answer to this question is on the sheet that came with the shelves. I believe it said 30 lbs.

I would only be guessing but this bookcase is extremely sturdy. It would be an underestimation of 15-20 lb Per shelf.

I've got tons of books and trinkets on mine... But don't do anything over 30 or 40 pounds on each shelf. The shelves are made of glass :/

The shelf just sits on the top. It is loose, not attached. Any one of the shelves can be picked up and removed without much trouble.

The origami holds 250 lbs per shelf, as advertised. I haven't tested it though. I sure do love my shelving. I have one in the garage and one in a utility room. Planning on ordering the work bench next.

I can't give an exact weight, but I have them loaded with History books, and would guess that the heaviest shelf contains at least 40-45 pounds of books. As far as I can tell, there is no sagging. I will say I would not recommend moving the shelf set with any weight on it. I don't think it would hold up for that.

Nothing it's glued together so it CAN be disassembled, but it won't be easy. The back is one large piece which you'll nail to the rest of the shelf. There are also plastic caps that cover the screws which you'll have to pry off in order to get to the screws again. The shelf is also made of particle board (I think) so the less the you mess with it the better.

I have yet to use it, and have no idea how much weight it will hold. I can say, however, that it's a well-made, sturdy shelf. I'm guessing that it would be able to hold a substantial amount weight.

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!

Honestly, not much. It's meant to place light weight items on the shelves. Such as a basketball and something else small with it. Such as a pair of shoes. The shelves will bow and bend. I would not waster your money. The thing does not stay together very well. Cheaply made.
