What is the weight limit on each shelf? Anyone have the shelves bow yet?

They're pretty sturdy shelves, as is the entire unit. The weight limit per shelf, from top shelf to bottom is: 25 lbs, 25 lbs, 35 lbs, 25 lbs, and 40 lbs.

These shelves are really thick in comparison to their length. Not sure how much weight it would take to bow them, but mine are full of books from one end to end in all shelves. I have had it for a few months now with no hint of bowing.

I don't know what the weight limit is. My shelves are filled with books, hard & paperback and no bowing after 7 months. The shelves are quite thick and very sturdy, I can't imagine they would bow.

I'm not sure about how much weight but I have these in my garage and in my basement and I have all kinds of things on the shelves - seems like it holds a lot if you ask me. Very sturdy. Sorry if I couldn't be too specific.

As I recall, the official weight limit for the top shelf is around 35 pounds, butthese things are built like a fortress.

I'm using them as a support for a shelf over my fire place and not putting anything more than knick knacks on it. I wouldn't put anything heavier than that and a few books. Call it 20 pound load at most.

Hi Anita, Each individual shelf can hold up to 120 lbs (on casters) and 600 lbs (on feet levelers). Total weight capacity: 600 lbs (on casters) and 3,000 lbs (on feet levelers). Hope that helps and thank you! TRINITY

the shelf seems to be able to go the distance from top to bottom (as well as the tv, it has sliders). As far as the weight, the max weight on the shelf is 50#

I'm not sure how much weight exactly, but I do have all three hanging bars full. I even have jeans hanging on the bottom bar. The only "defect" is the shelves, the top one slides down once you place stuff on it.

Each shelf holds 30 lbs. We had a big dishnet receiver on one shelf, xbox on another, and dvd on the third. We love it.

Not sure of exact weight it can hold but these shelves are very sturdy & made of heavy wood so im sure it can hold quite a bit.

I can't give you a poundage, but I find that the shelves bow a bit when you put much weight on them. I use them in my laundry area & have baskets on every shelf. The shelves with the heavier stuff sag. However, love these shelves. They are stable, hold a lot, & look nice. Not sure I would use these for a pantry.

I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit. I know they may not look it or sound it when you read about what they are made of and such, but I have found them to be very sturdy shelves that really can hold a lot and which I think look quite nice, especially when you consider the low price. I use them in my home office and at times have really loaded the some of the shelves down with books, papers and such, and mine have stayed strong and continue to look just as good as the day I bought them. Hope this helps Itzell...

I don't know the exact weight allowance for each shelf. I have stacks of folded fabric in rows on each shelf, and shelves seem to be sturdy. It would depend upon what you are putting on the shelves.

Can't say exactly, didn't try to fully load them. But the wood and method of attaching the shelves to the uprights leads me to believe that this shelf system is significantly inferior and more light weight in comparison to another set I've bought elsewhere (appears nearly identical, but with substantially better hardware, wood and finish). Hope this helps.
