Will these hold books and what is the thickest shelf it will fit over?

I don't think they would hold books, I believe that I have them on .5" shelves.

Hey, sorry for the late response. It holds most of the standard shelf (our shelf is little over 1/2 inch thick and around 11 1/2 inch width) and moreover it's adjustable by pressing with your hands. It was a little shaky on our shelf then my husband pressed the bottom bars to fit the shelf. I am sure you can use it to organize books as this will just serve as a divider on your shelf.

It fits snuggly on my shelf which is 3/4 inch thick. It holds firmly without giving or swaying at all. Although I only use it to separate my stacks of clothing, if it fits snuggly on the shelf, it is strong enough to hold books. There is a small crossbar on the wire that rests on the underside of the shelf, so it doesn't budge. Hope that helps.

i was not impressed with these shelves. you can go to containter store and buy them. they fit over about and inch plus shelf. there is a lttle wiggle room but if you force it it will break (as mine did) where its sautered together. it should hold books but how well will depend on how the rack fits over the shelf. hope this helps.

I am not sure if they would hold books. I have one that is very snug on the shelf and the other isn't as snug and tends to wiggle too much. They are on the exact same shelf. I think the thickness is roughly 2". If you got 2 that fit a shelf snug, holding up books might be okay.

They will hold books. Our shelf was the standard thickness 3/4" and they fit tightly on there so they are pretty sturdy. We were pleasantly surprised with them and ordered more for our other closets. Hope this info helps!

I am using mine on a one inch thick white pine board. I believe this is the max you are going to get out of them. They are quite sturdy and could be used as book ends. Now saying that, I would not overload them with college textbooks, not sure if they could handle that much weight on their own.

Depends on the box dimensions and weight, but in general I would say no. They are sturdy for things of moderate weight, but books could be too taxing. The shelves are also not high or wide enough for what I would consider moving boxes.

The physical dimensions of the five shelves set one limit but I think that the weight of the books would be even more critical. Check the directions carefully for weight limits on each shelf.

The shelves are approximatley 21.5" L and 12.75" depth. The top shelf is open so putting books up there should be no problem.

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

I've had this bookshelf for about a year. All the shelves are loaded with papers & books, but not heavy textbooks. The middle couple of shelves are starting to sag, so I wouldn't recommend it for books like yours. It would definitely need reinforcement.

Ummm, I'm going to say yes. Maybe not side by side perfectly and tidy... Depending on what you're going for, and the size, you could probably fit three in randomly. I use mine for kids books. They're a little flimsier than the thick iron ones you'd see at Lowes or Home Depot. But it does the job for the price! :)

I have paperback books on mine. The adjustable shelves are very thin. So I am not sure about them holding the weight of bottles. The main shelves should be fine.

No. They are so cheaply made they wouldn't even hold seasonings and bread. So not a chance with books. It just bends.

Yes, the lower shelves are deep enough to hold books and/or binders. However, I wouldn't recommend putting a lot of weight on the shelves. If your intention was to use as a book shelf than I would suggest a different style.

I would say yes, the probably will hold a few books. Keep in mind they aren't huge though, and you may be better off going with something a tad larger than 1 1/2". Good luck! :)

All shelves are approximately 13" tall. They should hold standard 11" binders and books just fine!

it would hold books, although you would have to allow for the height of each book between the shelves .. it's sturdy enough ..

The shelves are rather wide. if you use it for books, you will need bookends and maybe something on the shelf, like a piece of plastic becasue they could fall through. The unit is extremely sturdy and can hold a ton of books.

Yes. I have lots of books--very heavy--on my shelves. They are holding up well.

Yeah. I would say the last two shelves will. I'm using it as more of a decorative shelf. I would recommend a more sturdy shelf if you are just looking for book storage however.

Yes. They are tall and narrow, so they can fall over if bumped hard, but they are strong enough to hold the weight of all the books you can fit on them. I have four of them in my home and I use two of them to hold stereo speakers that are pretty heavy. I really like them. Great for holding pictures and nick knacks too.
