How much weight can one of these shelves hold if mounted into studs on the wall? We have fairly heavy dishes that we would like to store...

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.

The mounting bracket is surprisingly sturdy. As long as you have it mounted to studs of course. We store eight sets of china (8 cups, 8 saucers, 16 plates) in the center cabinet, and miscellaneous glassware on the side cabinets and it's great!

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.

there are holes in the back panel so it can be secured to the studs. I would not try to support it off the ground unless you're going to put really light things on the shelves.

All the lower (very bottom) shelves can hold about 50 pounds. the very top shelves can hold about 25 pounds and the middle shelves (the more sturdier part of the shelves) can hold about 40 pounds..hope this helps!

I'm sure they will hold heavy glasses. Just make sure they're attached tothe studs in the wall.

I can't say for sure how much weight it can hold BUT i can tell you that we have loaded up our shelves with everything from tool kits, masonary & gardening supplies (inc. large pots), filled plastic storage boxes. I'd buy more but we do not have the room. I like the idea that the shelves are not solid so air can circulate. Theses would work outside also I'm sure also.

The brackets seem to be very sturdy, but your shelf will only be as strong as the thickness of the board and whether you have secured the brackets into underlying studs or not.

I'm almost positive that there are 2 screws for mounting. The glass shelf itself can only hold approx. 22 lbs.Get the wall anchors that are the metal butterfly, they will hold a good amount of weight. They use them on the ceiling mounts for hanging plants.Hope this information helps.

I'm not sure about how much weight but I have these in my garage and in my basement and I have all kinds of things on the shelves - seems like it holds a lot if you ask me. Very sturdy. Sorry if I couldn't be too specific.

I am not sure of the weight limit of the shelves but I would not put too much weight on it. I am putting small lightweight items on it. I wouldn't put anything too precious on it because if it gets bumped it will knock it over as it must be situated where it leans perfectly against the wall.

Yes, I have a shelf on my brackets. They will support about 8 pounds or so.

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

Ikea website states a max load of 66 lbs per shelf. If displaying lots of books or kitchen ware it might be a good idea to have equal weight distribution on a single shelf based on the supports. Securing to the wall would be good as well. I spray painted mine and replaced dark shelves with wood. It's used as a rotating display of family collectibles and mementos so weight hasn't been an issue.

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 agree with Darrell B. If they are mounted securely they would hold. It would also depend where the main point of the weight was placed and how long your shelf is. A normal shelf with a regular weight spread would cause no problems.

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!
