How much weight can the shelfs support?

I have a row of books on each shelves and it holds them well. They seem to be very sturdy. I have never regretted buying these shelves. I also got the desk that goes between them and it looks great. Connie

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.

The shelves are very sturdy , I feel they would hold a set of encyclopedias...I do not know the weight limit on them

The shelf is about half-inch thick solid wood and the supporting legs are metal. I can't imagine there would be any problem with all that. As a precaution and reassurance, add the various items one at a time to make sure nothing snaps along the way! Good luck.

The unit is well built. The description would lead you to believe it can handle 200 lbs for 2 of the shelves and 65 lbs for the third. I don't think I would trust the wheels and structure to support 465 lbs total. I would be leery exceeding 250 lbs total. If nothing else, it may become top-heavy and be unstable.

There are 5 shelves and all are full of dvds. Not sure of the weight, but I used the leftover shelf to have the cabinet lean back slightly so there was no concern about it tipping over. Hope this helps.

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

They're really pretty sturdy, I don't think the weight would be an issue. You can check the dimensions of the shelves under product details to see if those will fit.

The shelves are sturdy, with support at all 4 corners. Distributed evenly I would guess they could hold 10+ pounds. Mine store a dozen baseballs in holders, on each shelf, with no problem.

The shelves are supposed to support 350 lbs. of weight. The rack itself should support approx. 40 garments easily assuming they're not all winter coats. I hope this helps.

Not sure what their exact limit is but I would not put more than a couple of pounds on each shelf. As I stated in my review the side rail broke while we we assembling it. I am still waiting to hear back from the company...guess its a good thing I didn't hold my breath!

Hi Anita, Each individual shelf can hold up to 120 lbs (on casters) and 600 lbs (on feet levelers). Total weight capacity: 600 lbs (on casters) and 3,000 lbs (on feet levelers). Hope that helps and thank you! TRINITY

The booklet said it could support 50 pounds per shelf. As an added precaution we placed a 1x2 firing strip on the wall then rested the bottom of the cabinet on top of it so that the firing strip acted as bottom support for the cabinet. We have used ours now for about 4 months and am quite pleased with the cabinet.

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.

I think it would probably support that much weight for a short period of time. However I wouldn't leave that much weight on it for an extended period of time because I think you would bend the shelves.

I just use it as a shelf in the laundry room so probably have never had more than 30 pounds on mine. I've got three brackets on a 48" shelf. Seems sturdy enough, but I doubt I'd put 150 pounds on it.

Terri, these shelves easily hold over 200 lbs dispersed across them - the limiting factor for weight is wheels breaking up due to total unit loading.
