What is the max weight it can carry in lbs and at what point one should worry about the tempered glass cracking ??

Max television weight, which would be the top shelf, is 200 lbs. I can't think of any current TVs that come close to that weight that are 68", which is the limit for this shelf. Please note the top shelf is different than the other two shelves, in the sense that it has "Sonax" etched in on the glass. The manual is clear this is the top shelf; I'm not sure if that's because it is stronger than the other two, or it is simply a marketing ploy.

I have on the top of mine a Yamaha 4500 sound bar system weighing in at 50lbs. Also, my router, Sonos wifi box, and a couple of other small electronics. The glass is well supported by the Sonax frame and is quite thick. I weigh 265 and have put a lot of my weight on the glass standing up from sitting on the floor. I don't know the exact weight it would handle, but I have never been in fear of it breaking. My TV - 65 Panasonic plasma weighs about 70 lbs but it is hanging on a wall stand and not the Sonax.

I think the maximum weight the stand will carry is 200 lb. I have a 60" plasma TV ( 66 lb) on the top shelf and there is no indication that that is too much weight. Note that I rate the product 5 stars. It is high quality and very attractive as well as amazingly sturdy and easy to assemble because of its unique design.

Although I cannot answer your question, I can say that the glass is pretty thick and heavy. I have a 60 inch TV on top, a small speaker system, a lazy Susan so I can turn the television to different angels, and my cable box. Again, this is all on the top shelf. All together my guess is the weight is about 50 lbs, and the glass didn't show any signs of stress or give out any warnings.

Uncertain of maximum recommended weight, but the piece is very sturdy and appears to be able to take a significant amount of weight such as heavier amplifier, books, etc. There is a solid surface under the tempered glass. I have a 55 inch TV and a number of TV and stereo components on the middle and bottom shelves and it easily accommodates.

It's very light, about 30-40lbs., total. The glass is the heaviest part. So, enough to support the glass

Hard to give you a weight without some sort of test, but, the glass top is thick tempered glass. I would suggest it would hold 75 pounds without a problem.

It's very thick glass, all around. There aren't any delicate thin parts. I doubt it would survive a drop to the floor (tho it might, it seems pretty sturdy), but it could probably handle bumping on the table, etc., without a crack. Hope I've helped! Love mine!

I wrapped mine in a towel and checked it in my luggage during a deployment overseas. It handled loading, transport, and unloading with no issues. The screen is not glass, but it is definitely not fragile. I can post pictures if you need.

Its about 6mm thick (almost as thick as a pencil) and is tempered glass. Mine is very solid without being too heavy.

The directions read for best results leave flat and don't move a lot. It is a heavy glass material so I would be afraid of it toppling over and breaking.

I would contact the company. They seem to very customer oriented and would probably be happy to give you the right answer. Since it is made of tempered glass, I would not feel comfortable answering definitively.

I have had about 30lb of books and materials on this desk; but I am not sure that I would continuously put heavier objects on this desk just because it is glass and could develop stress fractures.

It's tempered glass, but a bit thin. With that said, my folks, both in their 80s, haven't torture-tested this piece.

Not sure if it's tempered glass it's not very thick but it is pretty durable my 2yo grandson has dropped mine from at lest 3feet and it did not crack. I now have a protector sheet on it and a hard case with silicone to protect it. It will hold up pretty well with normal wear and tear.

It wasnt very heavy honestly once we got it. I would say safely between 1-5lbs max. Hope that helps.

I don't know the exact weight. It is tempered glass so it is stronger, it also depends in whether you are hitting the studs when drilling in the wall. I don't believe they will hold heavy objects at least I don't trust it to.

I just broke mine yesterday dunking. Two handed. Lowered it to 8.5 feet and was just having fun when snap, the glass completely shattered. $100-200 for new plexi. Haven't gotten to pricing out a sheet of replacement tempered glass from Spalding but I doubt it's cheap! I'm only 165 lbs but it was only 40*F outside so maybe that contributed. An expensive whoops but let that serve as a warning to other users that it's no pro system.

I'm pretty sure it's tempered glass so it's not like plate glass that would break very easily. Also, its set down in a metal rim and the legs are very sturdy. We have a lot of wind where I live and this table has never blown over.

I don't think glass would hold the weight of a child. It would be a safety concern if the glass would break, the child could be hurt badly.
