Depends just how heavy your component is...cabinet is sturdy but why take the chance. If it were me, I'd break down and buy a new component (which will probably give better quality besides!)

I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit. I know they may not look it or sound it when you read about what they are made of and such, but I have found them to be very sturdy shelves that really can hold a lot and which I think look quite nice, especially when you consider the low price. I use them in my home office and at times have really loaded the some of the shelves down with books, papers and such, and mine have stayed strong and continue to look just as good as the day I bought them. Hope this helps Itzell... I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit.

I think the manufacturer recommends no more than 20 or 25 pounds per shelf. I've had it for a year as a bookshelf with around 30 pounds per shelf and haven't seen any problems.

My guess is that the weight limit is only for the top portion. I had a similar setup with my 55 lb. TV on top, cable DVR box, and center channel home theater speaker on bottom. Never had an issue.

Yes, the bottom shelf has extra support and should handle that weight with not problem. The other shelves I would not put a lot of weight on them.

Thank you for your inquiry. It depends on how much they weight. The static weight limit per shelf is 25 pounds. If they are heavier than that, I would not recommend it. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

The max weight is specd at 50 lbs. I'm thinking that 30 is more reasonable and you're not putting huge amounts of weight on these shelves anyway. They are made for components and movie and remotes and stuff. The shelf height plays along with the inside tracks on the unit and it's pretty flexible on where you can place it. You can go right up to the bottom of the TV being used on the stand or you can space them out and buy extra shelves from the company so you can double up the space or amounts of components.

The shelves would definitely not hold 25 lbs. I have light items like cosmetics on mine (I have it in a bathroom). I love the shelf unit, but it isn't sturdy in that way.

I have used the shelf to hold at least 30 "static" pounds. By static I mean putting the weght on evenly and slowly. I put my 25# tool box on it all the time but if I were to drop it on the shelf from a foot or two I don't think it would hold. Also, putting all the weight over only one of the brackets would likely be problematic.

I'm also interested in knowing if anyone found an actual answer... My center channel speaker is just under 31 lbs. Has anyone mounted anything this heavy or heavier? Thanks!

I would use the lower shelves for heavy pots, but I would not go any higher than the bottom two. My wife has it packed full of dishes, and it is holding up pretty well.

Probably not much more than about 5-7 lbs per shelf, depending on weight distribution. The shelves are very thin (less than 1/2 an inch). The very bottom shelf that is flush w the top of the doors is a little bit thicker, and could hold a bit more. So, if you broke up the 25 lbs over the 3 shelves, you could probably fit them all, but definitely put most of the weight on the bottom..

Not sure but the unit weights about I would say no more than 75 lbs per shelf. If you put too much weight on any shelf they will start to bow. I would go with what the paper that came with the unit. The 250 would be total weight . Put the heavier things on the bottom of the rack. I hope this will help you.

This is not a problem. I have several hundred pounds per shelf. The sleeve system, used to install the racks locks the shelf in place. The more pressure put on it, the tighter it holds.

Sorry for delay responding. Total weight capacity for the cabinet is 850 lbs. It comes with 3 shelves (additional shelves can be ordered directly from Seville Classics home site), each shelf holding a maximum of 150 lbs. The bottom panel can hold up to 350 lbs.
