After this unit is completely filled do the shelves tend to bow?

Not one bit. It is wonderfully stable and well built. I've no problem or have no complaint with this product. I'm glad I bought it. Worth the money and I may buy another one.

No the shelves are very sturdy, and each shelf actually holds a lot of blurays and DVDs.

I've had mine for a few months now and it is completely full of CDs and the shelves are still perfectly straight. Maybe in time?, but they seem pretty solid to me.

No they do not bow at all and they hold my dvds fantastic. I really like it was a great solution for my wife and I. The shelf are like small wood planks that rest on metal pins and the planks are groved where the pins fit.

I also forgot to add if you use the cabinet for CDs, that's all I use it for, there is more than one inch of space between the bottom of a shelf and the top of the CDs on the shelf below. If they do bow a little over time there is extra room before the shelf would touch the CDs below it.

The top shelf tends to bend with the weight of 3 pairs of shoes and might make the side boards bend inwards without the middle shelf making the sides straight. I ended up buying 2 units and removed the top shelf of one and put the other complete one on top of that. Either way, I don't put too much because of the shelf bending from the weight. Hope this helps.

The shelves lay on some metal pegs. The shelves will probably fall if you turn it sideways.

I've had mine fully loaded (with about 350 CDs) for about 8 months, and the shelves are not sagging at all. My only issue is you can't have 10 shelves equally spaced apart unless you don't attach the top trim molding. It looks fine without the trim, and I can fit CDs on the top shelf the same as the rest. I also painted the bottom of the shelves black, otherwise you will see the bare "wood" when sitting near it. Hope that helps!

I have no idea how much each shelf can hold, but we're using our cabinet as a pantry - canned goods, cleaning sprays, etc. There has been no bowing of the shelves, but so far they're not completely full. We're very pleased with the storage unit and feel it's well-built and appears sturdy.

Each shelve can be filled from end to end with books. I've had the shelve for quite a few months and the shelves have yet to bend.

Yes...the shelves fold up and lay flat against the back and the sides have hinges that fold in on top of shelves.

Yes, there is a nail/bolt on the bottom to hold it in place. Shelves are good & sturdy!

Yes. When assembling, the legs slide through the shelf holder openings, then screws tighten to secure the shelf to the legs. Be sure to have a level handy for accuracy.

The shelf is in a fixed location. I think it is designed like this, to make the unit more sturdy.

The shelves are material, so the top caves in a bit when placing heavy items. I have about 30 light dresses hanging up. It is nicer than i thouht it would be when purchesing it.

The shelves are adjustable after assemble. They are not locked into place for good. I have and do adjust my shelves as I need to. I really love my unit. I bought two additional units so far myself. Wonderful product.

All parts are particle board. With the short length and front edge piece, the shelves won't sag. They're heavy, but once in place, what does that matter?

No, all of the shelves are a part of the overall structure and therefore at a fixed height.

Yes. The legs and the adjusting the shelves. Make sure you have someone who can help u however. It is a bit heavy.

A qualified yes. The shelving must be level. If the slope is such that a pair of extra hangers on one end does the trick - great! In my case, I had to construct a wooden frame under the sloped ceiling from which to hang the supports - but the end result is that I now have more storage space than I would with free-standing shelves and it took less time than building custom shelving.

No, the shelves need to fit into the upright posts. I placed two units side-by-side, with parallel shelves at the same height, thereby creating more or less the effect you are looking for.
