I am looking to purchase these to hold book bags and coats at playground of school. Do you think they are strong enough

Coats, yes, no problem. Backpacks, it depends how heavy. Sounds like you are at an elementary school, you should probably be okay.

I think they should work well for that purpose. I used mine for my closet and liked that they fastened well on my shelves and are sturdy enough to support handbags and divide my stacked sweaters in my closet. They will also be sturdy enough to support your cookbooks. Just make sure you buy the appropriate size for your shelves. I bought a second set and didn't realize I was buying the larger size and had to use in a bigger space then intended because they were too tall for the intended space.

They are pretty sturdy, you can easily do 10-15 pounds per shelf. It is 3/4" composite board material so it's going to hold a full load of books if you needed.

I honestly haven't put a ton of weight on them. I have all kids books loaded in one of the small baskets on the upper shelf, but the second small basket just has toys in it, as well as the big basket on the bottom. They can probably hold a good bit of weight. I don't think I would have trouble if it were all books.

No they would not be sturdy enough for textbooks. Sometimes they bend with the papers I put on them. Sorry!

I am using this to hold something light, but my impression is that they are sturdy enough for heavier items.

I believe they would bend if you put a lot of books in them. I used them for toys for my son when he was little. I now converted them into a big Guinea pig cage.

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.

Yes, they would be perfect for that. These are actually outdoor type shelving, so it should hold the plants without a problem.

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.

I would say yes, they are sturdy enough. I use them as bins for our shoes in our mud room and they've taken quite a beating and have held up nicely.

Haven't tried it, but I wouldn't. Manufacturer's instructions are pretty clear that they need to be used / stacked a specific way to hold up.I've stacked mine against two different walls, and they've been great for holding books, office supplies, equipment and other items, so they DO hold up well if used / stacked the right way. That said, the backing is pretty flimsy, so I would NOT try bolting them to a wall.

Yes! They do work, and they hold heavier things too! You just might have to use more than one!!

Yes I believe they would. We are using them for documents, photos, instruction books, chorus books and many other items that are now toxic. The bags are nicely sturdy. The zip lock works and hold fine. Yes, I think they would be ideal for what you are asking.

Yes, I think so. I bought them for a felt project. I put a magnet in each thin felt pocket and they came together, but they could be stronger.

Yes. They are tall and narrow, so they can fall over if bumped hard, but they are strong enough to hold the weight of all the books you can fit on them. I have four of them in my home and I use two of them to hold stereo speakers that are pretty heavy. I really like them. Great for holding pictures and nick knacks too.

Yes. I put some books and files (Almost 12 lbs) on top ths cabinet and seems to be strong enough to hold.
