What is the weight capacity for these shelves?

Not sure of exact capacity but it is a lot. I store very heavy boxes on them and they do not deflect in the slightest.

Its either 250 or 500 lbs. It is great and fits tons of stuff. Excellent purchase. I own 3 Alera Shelving Units from Amazon. Definitely get it!! :)

Searching around at different websites that sell this product, it looks like the 24" x 36" version holds up to 1,000 lb. per shelf when evenly distributed while the 18" x 36" version holds up to 1,250 lb. per shelf when evenly distributed.

About 30-40 lbs per shelf. We have books from one end to the other without any problem.

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.

Don't know the exact weight but you should be alright in my opinion. They are very small shelfs so you biggest problem will be fitting them on there. Again I do NOT know the exact weight limit.

I don't know how many pounds but the unit is quite solid and I've never had a problem with anything I put in it. I've had it about 3 years and the shelves do not sag.

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'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.

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

I have yet to use it, and have no idea how much weight it will hold. I can say, however, that it's a well-made, sturdy shelf. I'm guessing that it would be able to hold a substantial amount weight.

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 can't give you an exact weight, but my shelves are loaded with some pretty hefty books. The old Sauder shelves would definitely sag under a load like this. The new shelves, thanks to the front brace, don't sag at all. Take a good look at the picture I posted.

The shelves are 7 3/4" wide and 24" long. I don't know about how much weight they can hold, but they seem quite sturdy.

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 shelves themselves can hold quite a bit. The prescribed method of attaching to the top of the frame will not support what the shelves can hold. Short answer? 7 lbs or so, maybe.

The answer to this question is on the sheet that came with the shelves. I believe it said 30 lbs.

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 figure it was about 35-45 lbs. Remember it can hold up to 350lbs per shelf!! Its worth the effort.
