For a classroom, will the shelves be sturdy and high enough to hold text books and binders?

It should, cause I hold a bunch of sea shells and blurays, and season boxes on mine. and the shelves are high enough for binders

I have a mixture of hardback and paperback cookbooks on my shelves and they are holding up fine. If they are average size books, I would say you should be fine. However if you are using them for college size text books on a full shelf, I might hesitate in the purchase. Also I am not accessing my books everyday like you may in a classroom. If you are working with small kids who might climb on the shelves than I would not purchase it for a classroom.

I use mine only for books so can not answer about the binders. However, the full sized, hard cover books fit on the shelves easily. I find it very sturdy...much more than I had expected.

Eh. It was a little more flimsy then we were hoping. I can say that it holds more then it looks like it will, but less then you want it to. I wouldn't trust big heavy books on it.

I think it can. Maybe up to 40 - 50 TEXT books! I would get anchors to nail it to the wall from homedepot since your dealing with kids.

Yes, I have it packed tightly, totally filled with books. It remains sturdy.

I believe so. Mine hold printing paper among other things. It does, however, wobble side to side a BIT (because it is not ALL on the floor re: coasters)--it works absolutely fine as long as no one would pull on it, but with kids,I'd put it against a wall (i.e. not a room 'divider') etc. I love it.

I have many text books and they fit easily in the shelves. I have 4 five shelves and 2 four shelves. Many of my books very heavy and the bookcases don't shift or sag. I really like them.

it would hold books, although you would have to allow for the height of each book between the shelves .. it's sturdy enough ..

Absolutely. They are very sturdy and can be easily moved when needed. Wont fall over or be pushed around like many bookends. Would be perfect for an open ended shelf with a free end where you wanted to put books all the way to the end.

All shelves are approximately 13" tall. They should hold standard 11" binders and books just fine!

Yes! They are sturdy enough for books and easily assembled and look great for the price.

Yes. It would be sturdy enough to use as a bookshelf. The space between the shelves is just about 12". Hope that helps.

The shelves are not designed for book. They do not have the depth. CD's just fit. They are strong enough for what they were designed for.

Yes. I have three pairs of shoes on each shelf, with taller boots on top. It seems to be fairly sturdy.

Yes very sturdy. I'm using it to hold very heavy books. This is a great product and looks as advertised

Depends on the box dimensions and weight, but in general I would say no. They are sturdy for things of moderate weight, but books could be too taxing. The shelves are also not high or wide enough for what I would consider moving boxes.

The shelves adjust to different heights. I use two rows for cds. The rest are dvds but if you have books the same size as a DVD I don't see why not.
1875702
Yes it is. The bookshelf is holding up very well. I'm using it in my classroom. The shelves are not sagging like many do from the weight of books.

It's very sturdy. I have books on the bottom shelf, three containers filled with DVDs on the second shelf, and I use the top shelf for items I want to display (ceramics, crystal, etc.). It's not wobbly and even when I tug on it to see if it'll tip it doesn't move.

Shelves are actually a little higher than 12" but have a front molding that overlaps about 1/8". You could put them in on an angle though. Depth of each shelf is about 11" so if your books are no wider you shouldn't have a problem.

They will hold books. Our shelf was the standard thickness 3/4" and they fit tightly on there so they are pretty sturdy. We were pleasantly surprised with them and ordered more for our other closets. Hope this info helps!

No they would not be sturdy enough for textbooks. Sometimes they bend with the papers I put on them. Sorry!

I don't think it would hold a lot of of books, as on every shelf. The shelfs are steel reinforced but I'd be concerned about the stability of the unit and the possibility of it toppling with too much weight. Otherwise, it is a very nice piece.
