What is the weight that these shelves can take? Is it sturdy?

The shelve is sturdy, not flimsy at all. I use mine to display vases and books. and it's very stable.

It cant take much weight. I hardly have some books on it. It is not sturdy but very good looking

Terri, these shelves easily hold over 200 lbs dispersed across them - the limiting factor for weight is wheels breaking up due to total unit loading.

I think it would be sturdy, the shelves are slats - not a solid piece of wood. It would look ok.

The shelves are double-strength glass supported in each corner. It depends how the weight is distributed, but I would guess 5 pounds in the center, 10 pounds if most of the weight is on the two sides. This is a guess.

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

I just use it as a shelf in the laundry room so probably have never had more than 30 pounds on mine. I've got three brackets on a 48" shelf. Seems sturdy enough, but I doubt I'd put 150 pounds on it.

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.

Its pretty sturdy, so I think it could handle that amount of weight on each shelf. That being said, I only have diapers and wipes on the shelves and they don't weigh very much.....

The actual shelves look like they are made from particle board. They are strong and heavy. This unit weighed 92 lbs in the package

The shelves are just two L shaped brackets. They are pretty sturdy. I have a DVD player and cable box on mine and it's plenty strong enough for me. Depends how big and heavy they are.

I have approx. 15-20 lbs per shelf. I would suggest tho - using 2 wall mounts instead of just the one in the package. I have it sitting on carpet with a floor molding, so the shelf cannot stand completely straight. I used just the one & it eventually pulled from the wall. Overall I really like the shelves - I purchased 2 and would purchase again, if I needed another.

I used 2 of these brackets, screwed into studs, with a 36 inch long 1x8 for the shelf. As configured, the shelf supports a variety of laundry detergents and supplies which weigh, in all, about 10 pounds. I would not use it to support anything that weighed more than 20 pounds. The brackets are well worth the money I paid for them. I wish I could send you a photo, but I don't know how.

About 30-40 lbs per shelf. We have books from one end to the other without any problem.

The shelves would definitely not hold 25 lbs. I have light items like cosmetics on mine (I have it in a bathroom). I love the shelf unit, but it isn't sturdy in that way.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I keep large vases of seashells on mine, and some very large shells. The shelves are quite thick!

The specs list the max weight per shelf as 90lbs. It's a very sturdy shelving unit, so pots and pans (cast iron or not) will not prove to be an issue.

I haven't had any trouble with them bending, and I have every shelf full, some with heavy items. I'd say they are pretty sturdy.
