Could this hold books/binders in the lower shelves?

My lower shelves are packed with large heavy books, heavy 3-ring binders and file folders. They hold just fine. Only caveat: don't ever try to move it once it's loaded up. Ever. Lol...

It can hold some but I wouldn't do a lot. It is sturdy but not for very heavy items. I use it for pictures with a couple of vases.

Yes, I think it could. I'm not using the shelfs for that purpose. My daughter has her doll collection displayed which is light in comparison to books.

No. It can hold only light items. It could hold paperback books, for example, but not hefty textbooks. When I tried to use the shelves this way, they out and stripped the supports in such a way as to be no longer usable. A full size printer would be too heavy.

I think it can, I put dozens of heavy books on my shelves. Follow the directions for putting them together you should be fine!

Actually, the shelves are anything but flimsy. They should be more than sufficient to hold the weight of normal books, however, I caution against stacking them too high as the shelving unit is only 10.5 " deep.

I have heavy books on mine and it's sturdy enough to hold them. I think that if it fits in your pantry, it would work.

Yes, I believe it would, but only if it is on the bottom shelf with no additional weight.

Don't think so..Bottom shelf only sticks out 1-1 1/2 inches, and wouldn't support anything that large.

I use this for shoe storage. With books, you might have to put it against a wall or something. Remember the depth of the box is only 4.5", this might be too shallow for wider books.

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.

Yes, I know it can. I had the same question as you did when I first purchased them, and I was nervous that the shelves would not hold. They do. While typing I am looking at them right now and the shelves are strong. A suggestion that I have is, put the heavier books on the bottom shelf, and the shelf that is the 2nd one up, because these shelves are secured to the sides. In addition to being a college student, I am also a school teachers. I put my teachers edition textbooks on these shelves, and They are holding up fine. Actually most of my books are hardback that are on the shelves. I am very pleased with how these shelves look and how they hold their weight. Yes, I know it can.

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

No unless you were to put plywood on top of unit which would pretty much limit the shelf that would be on the bottom unit, but even then i wouldnt recommend for stability purposes. Seville does make higher shelves that are very sturdy.

Yes the shelf can hold text books. Depending on the size you may have to place lying down

I think it would work fine, I am using mine in a spare room I made into a sewing and craft room and it holds baskets full of items on every shelf including the top of the book case.

Low wall, I would think it would work. I have seen these used to store crayons and markers at a school.

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.

I don't think it would. There are shelves on the left side and the other side just wouldn't be large enough.
