Yes. I keep heavy files in them and they do just fine. It is well made and sturdy. I would keep the heavier items in the bottom drawer to keep it from being top heavy.

These look great and will hold light weight items, but they are NOT built for anything heavy. The bottom of the drawer is a basket weave which rides on top of metal bars ... any weight will wear right through the bottom of the drawer. NOT suited for vegetable storage bins.

I only store paper - bills, receipts, coupons, checks in these drawers. I don't think they would hold up to a very heavy weight. The bottom of the drawer is just the woven material - the metal frame is only at the edges and not reinforcing the middle of the drawer bottom. But they are good for my use.

Should be no problem... I use them in an office holding heavy items like copy paper... Cards... Computer software. They are really made well!!

I think they would but you would need to probably line in plastic so they could be cleaned easily and I wouldn't fill them too full like with potatoes.

Yes, I believe they would support quite a bit of weight, stacked as you described. I put all my weight, 130 lbs., on a 2-stack and it was strong and steady. I'd say you could get away with up to 150 lbs. easily.

Depending on how heavy these items are, it probably would not break. However, it is possible that the pressure from these items may make the drawers a little difficult to open. I probably have a good 5 pounds of weight on mine and it does not cause me any trouble at all. I hope this helps

Yes they will. Once each shelf is assembled there is quite a bit of weight to it, though it doesn't seem that bulky. It is very sturdy.

I've only used a few of the ones in the package and they are sturdily made. I used mine in a horizontal position behind a kitchen cabinet to hand various tools on. If asked to guess, I would think they could easily handle 5 to 8 pounds used vertically. Perhaps more if the wood is hard.

I wouldn't stand on them but I would say it could support 50lbs without a problem. This is a guess since I would never sit on or stand on these. I have it filled (top) and all bins full as well and it holds up good.

These are the slides that hold the shelf in place. The capacity will depend on the size of the drawer and opening. They are very sturdy so they should be able to hold the weight.

They will stack, but if there is too much weight in the top one, the drawers in the bottom one don't slide very well.

The bases seem to be solid metal and the glass adds to the weight as well. I would be inclined to say no. You could try but I would worry about the adhesive leaving residue on your drawers if it did not work.

These drawer systems are not really meant to have heavy items stacked on top, they are not wood. Besides, you must be tall, if you think you would be able to see into the very top drawer, if stacked. I have several of these, side-by-side with a 12" w x 8' l board across the tops. This gives a solid surface to put things on and distributes the weight.

Absolutely. I have them stacked four high with vinyl albums, and they are quite sturdy.

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.

I think it would work fine, but would not recommend it if you were going to put a lot of heavy objects in the drawer. I don't think they would hold up to the weight over time.

I don't think it would work well because you would lose shelving on one side of each of these, and more importantly, they are long and will use up a significant amount of space. They are heavy, well constructed and attractive and I would otherwise recommend the purchase.

Yes I believe so. I use mine for storing clothes. I think if you put heavier items on the bottom shelf it could work, lighter items on the top shelves. I love my cabinet. Would buy it again. Got lots of compliments on it.

It's not a very sturdy shelving. I almost sent them back. Instead I tried using decorative boxes that fit snuggly into each bin. They are lightweight enough for this shelf and actually stabilized the unit.

I really dont know because it did not work for me as it was too wobbly. I use the drawers only now and fit them in a closet I have. That works fine.
