I have put multiple palates of Costco water on one shelf and it seems to do just fine. I am sure it would hold more if you were to put more on it. Exact weight? I am not sure...

From the product description, "and made of heavy duty plastic so each shelf will hold 75 pounds with the weight evenly distributed." I use it to store bike parts and put the heaviest stuff on the bottom shelves for stability purposes.

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!

Manufacturer recommends no more than 25 lbs. per shelf. You will notice bowing if you exceed the recommendation. I have heavy books and kept them to each side on selves and placed decorative items on shelf in middle. Very attractive unit (although a real chore to assemble).

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.

As long as the shelf is not heavy they will hold 50 pounds look at the weight of the shelf and what you plan to put on it. I have a very heavy old picture and used two hooks for it and has held for years.

I don't think there's a single answer to this. It depends on how much wider the shelf is than the bracket. The brackets are quite strong. For an 8 - 10 inch wide shelf, I would guess that each bracket can support 50 pounds or possibly more.

Hmmm... 50lbs of weight on one shelf... that may be pushing it? I'd say about 25-30lbs max on each shelf.... Sorry!

All the lower (very bottom) shelves can hold about 50 pounds. the very top shelves can hold about 25 pounds and the middle shelves (the more sturdier part of the shelves) can hold about 40 pounds..hope this helps!

These shelves are holding a combination of books and miscellaneous papers/files, spread out pretty evenly. I would guess that if you distribute the weight evenly you'll be okay.

I can't give you a precise answer as to how much weight each shelf can support, however I can tell you that we use our cabinet to store household appliances, such as, a kitchenaid food processor, crock pot (lrg), etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting more than 30 lbs per shelf.

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

Not sure. I put a lot on these shelves and it holds up to it. They themselves are very light and I can move them around in the closet or use them in two pieces so I can put them on the top shelf if my closet to organize.

I have shoes on these shelves. I guess it would depend on how you have the unit attached, to walls or free standing units . Im sure they could hold more than 50 lbs easily.

I use mine for kitchen appliance storage and have had no issues, I'd say they are good for 100 or so pounds per shelf. Hope this helps, it really is a very good and strong shelving unit for the $$$.

At least 20-30 lbs for each shelf, I'd guess. I use mine as a liquor rack, and all the shelves are full. So it holds a good chunk of weight.

No sure on weight but my shelves are loaded with childrens books and toys. They are really sturdy.
