Is there a weight limit for the glass shelves? I'm looking to house a medium size brass urn on one of them.

I have mine loaded with antique cut glass bowls/vases which are pretty heavy

Based on my experience, it depends on how they're anchored. If they're screwed Into studs, their only limit is the strength of the glass shelving. I replaced the plastic expansion sleeves that were provided, they had a bit of wobble, with much stonger metal molly bolts, and now all 7 shelves are rock solid. I'm entrusting them with $2,000 worth of vibrating surround sound speakers.

I have found them to be very sturdy. I use them in my pantry to hold cans, but they are capable of carrying much more weight than that. 50 lbs perhaps? I am sure that a flower pot or two would not be a problem for this shelf.

The lower two shelves could hold that. I wouldn't put more than 50lbs or so on these though, unless you anchor it to the wall somehow.

I don't have an exact weight it will hold but it is very sturdy. The top shelf has all my heavy tools that have their own carrying cases and the bins have all kinds of heavy stuff. I roll it around my house from room to room and have never had a problem. I think it would work great for silverware storage.

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.

I have gardening items on the bottom, next 2-3 shelves are paper goods and some toys. Odds and ends on top two. I honestly think I only have 50 lbs or so on it and there is no problem...... Any other weight I would definitely toggle the shelving to the wall in some way.

I'm not sure because mine are different sizes depending on how many shelves I used on each one. I bought six units and use them in my basement. They're very easy to assemble, no tools, nuts or bolts needed and mine are holding everything very well. They're not meant for anything too heavy but so far I've had no problem .

What do u intend on putting inside it? I have paperweights and little statuettes in there. It's thick glass shelving a little less than 1/4 inch thick. The doors are tempered glass so I figure the shelves are.

Can't say for certain. I have light things on them. I would guess that the shelves, despite the light weight, could support smaller items that would add up to 50 pounds, I would not place one heavy item of that girth on any one shelf. The balance type design, that is the shelf stands on the flat ends of the four folding panels this discourages me more from adding too much weight more so than the potential of the shelves buckling. It works for me b/c I never intended to place heavier objects and it serves more as a divider that storage or display for large items. Hope this helps I know it is inconclusive but I don't want to go outside my experience range. Can't say for certain. I have light things on them.

I am not sure of the weight limit of the shelves but I would not put too much weight on it. I am putting small lightweight items on it. I wouldn't put anything too precious on it because if it gets bumped it will knock it over as it must be situated where it leans perfectly against the wall.

There is no way these shelves would support that much weight. It's a clothing system and as such likely designed for about 1/10 those numbers.

I like component very much, because of metal construction. The thick glass shelves should have no problem to holding as much weight. I have a few heavy equipment there, unit is stable.

I would not suggest heavy items. Shelves are only anchored into one side plus they are not solid wood..they are hollow and light weighr

The glass shelf just sits on 4 little suction cups and has a couple clips to hold it in place. You wouldn't have to use the shelf, so the answer is yes.I think the capacity weight is 50lbs per shelf.

We put books on ours, which weigh quite a bit. I think it would hold some dishes, but I wouldn't put as much as the space of each shelf allows. These shelves don't like to be moved around a lot though. And completely empty them if you plan to move them even a few inches.

I'm not a carpenter, but I would say "no." These would be fine for light to medium duty - I have glass shelves affixed to them with silicone. They are very attractive, so could be used decoratively if there were another source of support.
