I'm looking for a bookshelf that will hold many science textbooks and binders. Is this bookshelf sturdy enough for the job?

I have all my college books and real estate books in the bookcase. That is what I bought it for and it's perfect.

I dont really have an exact number regarding how many pounds of weight can this bookcase handle. However, I order three of these and they have been full of books (totally full, some shelves even hold 2 layers of books) for fine for 1+ year for me. This bookshelf is made from solid wood and in my opinion it is very solid and tough.

Yup. It is pretty sturdy once put together. I currently have a collection of organic chemistry texts and other large hardcover books on mine as well as a few card collections and other knick-knacks on top. The backing is a bit thin, but it is otherwise a very solid piece of furniture for the price.

I would not put a bunch of heavy books on the unit. It is fairly sturdy, but you will want a dedicated "book" shelf for what you want. This one is more for family snapshots and misc things. We only keep books on the bottom shelf.

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.

The bookcase is sturdy enough to hold set of encyclopedias and other books. The printed and some paraphilia sits on the top shelf. I hope this gives you an insight.

Yes. I have lots of books--very heavy--on my shelves. They are holding up well.

Mine is nice and sturdy. I use it for research and I have several heavy books on it.

If you have a lot of heavy reference books then this is not the quality your looking for. I would say it has light to medium weight capacity. It's all particle board.

The table is quite sturdy. I wouldn't keep my weight set on it, but it will definitely handle books, CDs magazines and anything else you would put into a normal end table. I do move mine around quite often, so you will have the tighten the screws every once in a while.

Yes very sturdy. I'm using it to hold very heavy books. This is a great product and looks as advertised

It is very nice and sturdy, and can hold a number of books. It depends how big the music books are you mentioned.

We used one of our half sized ones for bags and shoes and other mud room type things, and it held up fine. It is of very sturdy particle board, and it holds up many of my heaviest books and statues. I have 6 of these bookcases (of various sizes), and I haven't had a problem yet.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I just use mine for books, mostly hardcover. I weighed the books I had on a shelf and it was just over 17lbs. That was just one shelf. All my shelves are filled that much and I haven't had a problem with any bowing/distorting of the shelves. I don't see why they couldn't be used to create a very unique and creative liquor display.

Yes it is. The bookshelf is holding up very well. I'm using it in my classroom. The shelves are not sagging like many do from the weight of books.

I can't speak to using it for books. I bought it for DVDs only and it has been great for that purpose. Because of the small depth of the shelves, I would be reluctant to put certain types of hardback in it, especially large ones because the space simply isn't there. It is an attractive piece of furniture. Am glad I bought it to hold DVDs.

I would imagine it would work out just fine. The shelves are adjustable and they seem pretty sturdy. It holds all our heavy books perfectly. We are very happy with our purchase. �

I haven't used the book rack yet, but I think it would be plenty sturdy for a paperback. One thing I will suggest is gluing a little strip of non-slip rubber grippers on the bottom of the edges. I've have mine slip a few times from being lightly bumped.

I have had this book case full of books for about eight months and have no problems. I find it to be very sturdy and well built. I did use the wall bracket it came with to secure it to the wall for safety, which also helps with stability.
