How much weight can the shelves bear?

I honestly haven't put a ton of weight on them. I have all kids books loaded in one of the small baskets on the upper shelf, but the second small basket just has toys in it, as well as the big basket on the bottom. They can probably hold a good bit of weight. I don't think I would have trouble if it were all books.

I use the top two baskets for incoming mail and papers to be filed. The larger botttom basket holds magazines. I have a plant and wireless speaker on top. The unit is at the end of the island in my kitchen. It looks great, is sturdy and is holding up well. Can't really say how much weight it can hold. Have received many compliments on it.

Unfortunately, I can't give you a definite number but my daughter uses her bins to hold body lotion and other items that put together aren't necessarily light. We are very happy with the look of this item and it is holding up well. Remains sturdy.

The shelves would definitely not hold 25 lbs. I have light items like cosmetics on mine (I have it in a bathroom). I love the shelf unit, but it isn't sturdy in that way.

The lower two shelves could hold that. I wouldn't put more than 50lbs or so on these though, unless you anchor it to the wall somehow.

I don't know the exact weight allowance for each shelf. I have stacks of folded fabric in rows on each shelf, and shelves seem to be sturdy. It would depend upon what you are putting on the shelves.

I'm not sure how many pounds per shelf, but my bookcase is loaded with books, some of them very heavy and the shelves are not wavering. Good luck. Faun

The shelves are not that heavy but sturdy when hung right and can hold a lot of weight.

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.

From the manufacturer's website (http://southshore.ca/en/products/5-shelf-bookcase-6): The fixed shelves can support a weight up to 25 pounds, and the adustable shelves, 15 pounds.

I would say the top shelf would support at least fifty pounds. We used the top shelf as a bar. Ten to fifteen wine and liquor bottles plus ice. The second and third shelves would probably support at least as much.

We must have over 50 pounds per shelf. Not sure what they are rated for though. We do love them though.

Not very much. Maybe about 15 at most. But the shelves tend to wobble a tiny bit, so you can't have too much on each. The bigger shelves at the bottom can hold heavier weight than the top ones.

I am not sure what you are considering placing on these shelves so it is difficult to assess your exact needs...if i knew your weight requirements then I could make a better assessment. I have only used them for shoes...but they are well constructed and sturdy. They feel like they could hold considerable weight without bowing or bending.

This is what the Product Description says on amazon.com: Vented Shelves Support 125 LBS Each. I've not tested that statement.

Each shelf holds a certain number of pounds. 75lbs weight is the absolutely maximum it will allow. I cant be sure about each shelf because I sold the thing. I was really unhappy with it on how cheap it was for the price

I have approx. 15-20 lbs per shelf. I would suggest tho - using 2 wall mounts instead of just the one in the package. I have it sitting on carpet with a floor molding, so the shelf cannot stand completely straight. I used just the one & it eventually pulled from the wall. Overall I really like the shelves - I purchased 2 and would purchase again, if I needed another.

Maybe 5lbs each shelf? It depends what you're putting on them because they will lean forward or back if something is too close to the front or back...
