Hi, Actually, I bought the targus backack 17" and it holds all his high school books, 2 binders and supplies. It is big, sturdy and holds a lot. I am not sure about the weight but it seems to held very heavy stuff. We tries multiple bags and they would tear easily but targus has been the best one so far, it still looks and holds like we just got it.

It has a pencil pen pouch on the front then a zippered pouch big enough for files or home work, leaving two sections for books. You should be about to carry three to four nice size text books standing on the narrow side in those. I hope that answers your question.

Candace, if you're asking about the "Targus XL Top-Loading Case", which I have, I can't imagine it carrying 30 lbs. But if you're asking about the "Targus XL Backpack", which I also have, than the answer is Yes, definitely it can hold 30 lbs. I'm very pleased with the Backpack, I'd highly recommend it. Just so there is no confusion about the backpack I'm referring to here's the link:Targus XL Backpack Designed for 17-Inch Notebooks, Black with Blue Accents (TXL617)

I was able to fit one to two textbooks and a notebook in my bag along with my laptop. I use it for work now that my classes are finished and I can get quite a bit of paperwork in the bag. Very sturdy bag - I've had no issues with it.

I have had about 30lb of books and materials on this desk; but I am not sure that I would continuously put heavier objects on this desk just because it is glass and could develop stress fractures.

Its is a little bigger than the usual student backpack. If you will it with books it will weigh a lot. But it is a sturdy pack.

I filled both racks with jeans and tops, and it held real well. I'd say it would hold about 30 lbs.

It is very durable. I love mine. I just put it onto the scale and there are 21 pounds of books in it and I use it almost daily. I cannot speak for 30 to 50 pounds because 20 to 25 is what I cart around with me. Heavy leather, sturdy buckles and rings for either a shoulder strap, or what I use, the hand grip. Holds up far better than any leather brief case I've used.

I don't know how much weight it can hold. But I don't think it is a problem because it holds lots of books in our home.

It is large enough for "major" (30+ lbs) of books but I suspect that it would wear out over a year of constantly carrying such a load. A smaller pack would be better,

The bookshelf speakers I have on mine weigh 16 pounds. I don't think the stands will have any trouble holding 30 pound speakers. They are very sturdy.

This is a computer backpack. It's sturdy although I had to repair one of the should straps in less than one year. I carry a laptop , and other electronics along with a lot of paperwork. If you put just books in it maybe four to five big books would fit. I have had about 35 pounds in it.

I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit. I know they may not look it or sound it when you read about what they are made of and such, but I have found them to be very sturdy shelves that really can hold a lot and which I think look quite nice, especially when you consider the low price. I use them in my home office and at times have really loaded the some of the shelves down with books, papers and such, and mine have stayed strong and continue to look just as good as the day I bought them. Hope this helps Itzell... I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit.

It gets kind of heavy with a laptop and a couple binders. I could only carry my laptop, one binder and one book before it started getting too heavy.

That sounds like a lot of books! Mine has held up well but I do not carry that much weight.

Mine holds a lot of heavy textbooks, binders and notes for class, and all my food. So, I would say a lot.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

I'm in nursing school so my text books are massive I'd say 2 massive medical text books plus folders and miscellaneous stuff. I'd say it can def hold 50lbs.

I put up to 5 textbooks and a tablet plus odds and ends and I saw wear after a semester. I'm pretty rough on my back pack though. If I had to gess I'd say 3 large textbooks would be the best weight for it.
