What would the weight limit be for coats, etc. so that it wouldn't tip over?

This storage bench has 2 screws in the back to hold it against the wall.You can safely hang several big coats and small coats on this without any issues.

I have a coat or hat on every hook and it hasn't tipped over... it is kind of cheap looking when you see it close up, just so you know.

um... We load it up! Right now, being early fall there are 3 sun hats, two wind breakers and a towel. In the winter we had it covered with at least five coats and a pair or two of ski pants.The bottom is always full of shoes, boots or sandals. Does it get wobbly, yes sometimes when it is really loaded. The unit could be attached to the wall very simply to avoid any problem.

I hang several jackets, umbrellas, and even my purse on it without any problems. I do have baskets on the shelves and one on the bottom gets the tossed mail I don't want to go through right away so it has some weight to it. That might help with stability.

Has long as you have it properly anchored to the wall it should support up to 75 pounds. It's the hangars that you hang accessories that has to be heavy enough to hold heavy objects.

I've used this rack for coats at our clothing outreach and right now I have well over 25 heavy coats on it and it's has held up very well. Hope this helps.

We have our student files and did not find that it would tip over. I would not make it too heavy though as it is mesh wire and not meant to carry extremely heavy loads.

Definitely not. This closet is not sturdy as wood is. It will continue to lean forward since it has a leaning tendency. This closet is not good for winter coats. I use it for light summer clothes and it leans away 1ft 6 inches from the wall and is still leaning. I recently had to pin the back of it to a wall to keep it from falling forward.

In my opinion it is quite stable. If you hang a several heavy jackets on one side and not the other it will tip, but otherwise it does not.

If you have enough weight on the bottom shelves it might hold it without tipping backwards. It is a sturdy stand, the top shelf isn't going to break, I would want to make sure it doesn't fall. The wheels will lock so if you put it against a wall it wouldn't flip.

It might tip over unless you add weights to counterbalance it. When My nephew (5'11", 200lbs) did pull-ups on it, i stood on the other side to offset the tilt of the station.

Probably no more than 5lbs, but just as importantly you need to consider the weight distribution....The base of the stand is not heavy, so hanging an oversize speaker can cause it to tip over. I'm hanging small boses speakers on it, and really that's all these are good for.

Yes BUT... you would be need to be very careful what you place on the upper shelves and how you placed those items in order to create the right balance so it would not fall forward. The only real way to be safe would be to use a wall anchored bracketing system to ensure it can't fall forward. Think about those advertisements for TV stands and child safety; those same dynamics would apply here.

I don't use it that way but it is probably sturdy enough. However, it might be a little too low to the ground. It's not a really tall piece. I can hang jackets but not longer coats.

I have put this into a "dog-proof" storage bench, so there is no way it can tip over. Eli weighs 8.5 pounds and I can not see him being able to tip it over.

Hi Jessica, I really don't know the answer to that question. It is of good quality but as I mentioned in my review I wouldn't load with heavy coats. Sorry I couldn't help.

I'm not sure if it would tip over if they aren't able to walk yet. We've gotten two of them for grandsons but they were already walking. Good luck.

Very sturdy. It was one of the few racks that claimed to hold over 100lbs and I knew a rack full of winter coats would be heavy (my reason for purchase). I also make use of the extra extensions of the top bar. My rack is on wheels. I am VERY happy with this rack!

It's not rated and I don't know the weight limit, but it easily will support a studio light with modifier. The most important consideration is that it is mounted correctly to a surface that will support the weight.
