A lot but varies by size ... If you have a lot of little bigs it will hold more

You should be able to get between 30-40 books on each shelf (with room to lay some horizontally on top of the vertical ones).

Maybe 1 or 2 heavy textbooks per shelf (maybe). Would def. not recommend using it as a bookcase! i have a couple picture frames, candles, decor items on mine. We had to rig it majorly! Make sure you have a dude handy with his own tools and screws as well. The ones provided stripped extremely easily for some reason and was missing pieces. It is really cute once you get it put together though.

I have 90 in mine but left one shelf out. The extra shelf would make the spaces shorter if you want a shelf for CDs.

I wouldn't put many (and just at the bottom. They would have to be the small books as well - DVD size. I love these shelves for my movies. They hold 50-55 (average) DVD / BluRays. I hope this helps.

I will estimate that each shelf can hold close to 30 DVDs. I stand them up with the title outward. I enjoy my cabinet and is just the thing to have for this purpose. I use a small LED light at night when needed to find my DVD of interest. Take your time building it so that it all fits well.

I have about 15 books on the lower shelf and that seems to be stable. Not sure of they would hold a set of encyclopedias, I also have a cd/ stereo and speakers on the middle shelf and have had no issues.I hope this helps.

The shelves are adjustable, so you be able to get two shelves of books in the unit.

There are 7 removable shelves plus the bottom stationary shelf. It will hold about 160 cds.

It can hold at least 50, probably more, because it has the ability to expand by unscrewing the screws at the back and inserting the additional pages. I have one with silk and it is very attractive.

It depends on what kind of books you put on it - I have art history books, thinner reference books and a lot that are in the 3-400 page range and about 9 long. With my kind of collection, it holds about 70 or so. It basically holds as many books as you could stack to the height of a five foot tall person.

A lot. I would say at least 800, maybe more. There's plenty of shelves and it holds @ 400 DVD s.

I have some books on the bottom shelf. It is not sturdy enough to fill with books.

You can probably fit up to 350 CDs. It depends on the thickness of the CD cases. I have mostly older CDs with the heavier plastic case and I can fit about 65 per shelf (5 shelves). I bought 2 of these cabinets--one for DVDs and one for CDs. They stand on either side of the fireplace in my family room. They are slim and handsome and fit well in a smaller room. Enjoy!

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.

Agree with the others. This bookshelf is great for bigger books versus smaller books as the latter ones will be hidden in the sling. I found this bookshelf study too.

The top shelf is about five inches deep, which holds small novels. I also have a small potted plant on it. The shelf below is about 6.5, capable of holding medium sized books without them falling off.
