I was thinking about using this to put dishes and glassware on but it sounds like the shelves don't hold much?

This was so poorly made that I couldn't even put it together. I returned it and bought something else.

We put books on ours, which weigh quite a bit. I think it would hold some dishes, but I wouldn't put as much as the space of each shelf allows. These shelves don't like to be moved around a lot though. And completely empty them if you plan to move them even a few inches.

Don't do it! Light books and nick nacks. I made the mistake of loading it with medical textbooks. The shelves went a little wobbly then �. But aside from that it has done pretty well. We use it to display a few beach items a few books and our printer is on the bottom shelf

The four lower drawers could hold those things but not a ton of them. maybe put your favorites in there. The top drawers would not work well.

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.

You possibly could be the drawers are very small. If you put some baskets inside it might work ok. It is a beautiful unit though if will work for your space.

Yes, it would be great for that. I just checked and a standard wine/liquor bottle fit with room to spare on the top and bottom shelves. You would be able to fit a lot of bottles in this cabinet.

Personally I would not used the rack for displaying fine glassware. The surface is somewhat bumpy.

It is definitely going to be total, these shelves dont hold much weight, in fact whatever you put on it has to be right know the center of the shelf or else they start leaning to the left or right, there is no way to secure the actual shelves from leaning because they are only secured to the wall by two screws. You don't have to worry about the metal mount coming off the wall but the glass shelves will drop your stuff to the side

You'd have to use a few of the tiers. I think if you were to use all of the shelves, it would be too much. Use only what you need.

I don't think this would work well if you're sitting it on the counter. The shelves are not permanently attached, they just hang from the bars on the back of the fixture. I wall mounted mine as a fruit basket. You'd have to figure out a way to attach the baskets. I can take exact measurements if you're still intetested.

NO...shelf is too heavy for that. Too big a chance of coming undone and glass breaking.

Yes, that is what I did with rack. I did put a piece of glass on shelf first. It fits a small spot perfectly.

The glass is the same thickness as the glass in my china cabinet, which is pretty full. I would consider putting the heaviest pieces or stacks on the wood shelf on the bottom, and perhaps spread the others out on the five glass shelves, maybe you want to mix them with tea pots or mugs?

I think it would support that shelf but I wouldn't put heavy items on the shelf.

We would support the other comments. It's a big appliance that would lend itself to a built-in shelf, though best suited to a counter-top. Good luck with it -- hope your's isn't grinding like the two we had!

I like component very much, because of metal construction. The thick glass shelves should have no problem to holding as much weight. I have a few heavy equipment there, unit is stable.

I would think it depends on how many are used to support your shelf. I tend to put my really heavy stuff on bottom shelves, but have not had a problem with them supporting a pile of plates. My dish shelf is supported with 6 pegs and holds 10 soup bowls and a bunch of mugs.

It seems sturdy to me, but it is not very wide if you look at the dimensions again. That's what I liked about it as I needed a narrower one. Also, each individual shelf is flat wire, so I added glass to each shelf for added stability for whatever I put on it....which added weight to the unit overall. Mine does not rock or move about at all.
