is this sturdy enough to hold catalogs.

I believe it is as long as strong files are used to separate things it works just fine.

It is quite sturdy. I am a teacher, and I just have papers in mine. However, I THINK that it would be sturdy enough.

I have several that I use to hold extra office supplies a supply closet. The mesh is sturdy and the brackets that hold onto the shelf keep the basket in place nicely. They hold the weight of 2 reams of paper with no problem. I would buy them again.

Yes; it is very strong & should hold as many books as you can place on the shelves.

I would not put a bunch of heavy books on the unit. It is fairly sturdy, but you will want a dedicated "book" shelf for what you want. This one is more for family snapshots and misc things. We only keep books on the bottom shelf.

Nope - this is pretty sturdy. I use it as a platform for paperwork next to the standup desk i bought that holds 2 mojitos & a keyboard.

I use it to hold my wife's laundry detergents an such. I think a reasonable amount of of books would not be an issue

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I just use mine for books, mostly hardcover. I weighed the books I had on a shelf and it was just over 17lbs. That was just one shelf. All my shelves are filled that much and I haven't had a problem with any bowing/distorting of the shelves. I don't see why they couldn't be used to create a very unique and creative liquor display.

It's very sturdy and strong, including the shelves. The wood is unfinished, which I don't mind for a pantry cart, but for an office you may want to varnish/paint it. It should work well for a printer.

being made of metal the cabinet is pretty sturdy.A printer may actually stabilize it better if you have a lot of items in the filing drawermy 2c

Its very stable. I have each section stuffed with papers and heavy paper to make mailing labels. The bottom has 2 shelves which holds CD"S and additional accessories that I use for the printer. I keep this right next to the computer and printer.

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

Yes - it's very sturdy. You can stack books in each shelf without any concerns.

Since the shelves are glass, I would be careful about putting a LOT of weight on it - but it is definitely sturdy enough to hold a few books, but I would not use it to load the full shelf necessarily.

Certainly sturdy enough. Shelf extensions in front that drop down for description may hinder getting top stock if it's piled too high. This unit has worked very well for me.

Yes. I have many hardback books on this shelf, but one of the shelves seems to be curving a little over time. But it still holds strong.

I use it to store books in a instructional manuals in a file cabinet that I don't use for that purpose. I think the problem wouldn't be whether it was strong enough to hold the construction paper (from my experience with this item it will be no problem at all) The only problem might be with the paper getting a bend in it if it's not packed in fairly tightly.

We used one of our half sized ones for bags and shoes and other mud room type things, and it held up fine. It is of very sturdy particle board, and it holds up many of my heaviest books and statues. I have 6 of these bookcases (of various sizes), and I haven't had a problem yet.
