I want to set an antique five panel door (90 pounds) on 2 of them (one on each end) to create a table. Would these be too rickety or flimsy for that?

It would probably work, provided that the door is securely bolted to the shelves at each end and not able to slide off.

These tables are very sturdy but I don't think they are designed to hold that much weight.

Not sure - I purchased a small one for my closet to hold extra jewelry.... it doesn't weigh much.... I doubt it is heavy enough for a door....

You would definitely need to anchor both end to the wall and possibly think about something to add rigidity on the straight expanse. We set our up as a "U" shape around the dog door in the garage and had to add aluminum angle iron to strengthen anywhere two panels were straight

I have my set of cast iron (#4 - #12) set hanging from mine, which weighs about 40 lbs. With a few miscellaneous pieces on top. As long as you drill into studs and it's a sturdy setup you should be fine.

Can't say for certain. I have light things on them. I would guess that the shelves, despite the light weight, could support smaller items that would add up to 50 pounds, I would not place one heavy item of that girth on any one shelf. The balance type design, that is the shelf stands on the flat ends of the four folding panels this discourages me more from adding too much weight more so than the potential of the shelves buckling. It works for me b/c I never intended to place heavier objects and it serves more as a divider that storage or display for large items. Hope this helps I know it is inconclusive but I don't want to go outside my experience range. Can't say for certain. I have light things on them.

Glad you asked. First, be prepared....I had to have this item RE-shipped 4 times due to damage to it during shipping....you read that right - 4 times. I didn't give up because I like the look of it......so, when I finally got an intact, undamaged one I assembled it and it was quite sturdy and good looking. It's made well, but the wood can be soft......how much "weight" do you think you'll be putting in/on it? It can easily handle 100 pounds, but not much more. Good luck!

As long as you keep it set up without two panels straightened. Best shape is hexagon for strength. Or remove two panels and make a square.

Yes, I think so. They're not the lightest shelves, but as others have said, they're sturdy. And if the gasp in the shelves are an issue, you could always cut panels from cardboard or a light wood to place on each shelf after you set up the frame.

I would say so. If the base fits fully on the table, you should be in good shape! The only thing that might cause a problem is if you want it to be flush with a wall and you plan on using a lamp with a lampshade larger than the table top- there's the possibility then of the lampshade being off-kilter or having to have a gap between the table and the wall to accommodate. That's more of a size issue, though. On sturdiness alone, I would put a lamp on ours without hesitation!

This piece of furniture is very sturdy however, the doors I do not open a lot-only one section I open 2-3 times a week-the middle. I found the doors sturdy themselves however the hardware not so much-I had to fix it a few times-but due to how heavy it is I did not want to return. I think if you change out to your own hardware it might be a bit better, but a really nice looking piece of furniture-good value for the price.

I used one (of three total hinges) on my metal 36: fire door and it works fine. My guess is the doors weight in about 100 lbs.

Might be a little too lite for it. Without knowing the weight of the door or the amount of cycles, it would be hard to give you a definite answer. Sorry!

It's pretty flimsy. I added a piece of wood of appropiate thickness under each half of the cover for support. The whole point of the cover was to increase counter space, but without the blocks I added it wouldn't support any weight without caving in. Easy add on though.

Yes, and it is not flimsy. I do usually put a vanity fair plate under it so it will not be too hot to put on the table. Enjoy!

Uuummm I wouldnt feel safe saying yes...probably too heavy...Love the table though...have it in my entryway

I agree with Bruce. They are fairly sturdy, if you lay them flat they are more rigid...I would say if the weight is distributed evenly and no sharp indentations are made, they could probably support 20-30 lbs each without being damaged.

I use it as a dining table, haven't put a lot of weight on it. It is sturdy, but I certainly wouldn't stand on it to change a lightbulb or anything.
