How much weight can the bottom shelf hold?

Not much! newspapers bunch of magazines. I would not put anything real heavy on it.

The bottom shelf is thin gauge steel rolled in both the front and back as well as both ends. The front and back of the shelf is supported by 3/8 inch rods that tie into the two 1/2 inch cross rods that are screwed into the U braces with the casters. I cannot give you an actual weight but the shelf is well supported. I hope this helps.

It can hold a CPU or some office supplies (like a couple stacks of paper) or around 20 lbs at the most. To be completely honest with you, the whole thing is not very sturdy. My wife regretted buying it once we put it together.

I myself have placed everything on the Glass shelf including the Tower & so ... The bottom shelf is not being used for anything - it is empty (unused) . I have no idea how much weight that bottom shelf can hold. The unit itself is compact & so space Saving - SO CUTE & Practical ! I am definitely happy with this item - It functions as expected. Good luck.Feb.02, 2015 .... Rockford, Illinois .

The unit is sturdier than it looks, but I would limit the weight on the shelf behind the double door to 50 pounds. The base shelf has more support and could handle at least 100 pounds.

The cabinet has the room to store pots and pans. I'm not sure if the bottom of the cabinet would hold a lot of weight.

I am not sure of the weight limit of the shelves but I would not put too much weight on it. I am putting small lightweight items on it. I wouldn't put anything too precious on it because if it gets bumped it will knock it over as it must be situated where it leans perfectly against the wall.

I have my printer on the cart, paper on the second shelf and various crafty dafty stuff on the bottom but none of that weighs close to 75 lbs. So I don't know if it will hold that amount or not. Very sorry to be no help, I like the shelves and they work great for what I am using it for.

The bottom shelf is a thin composite, not made to carry weight. The bottom drawer is only useful for hanging files.

I have yet to use it, and have no idea how much weight it will hold. I can say, however, that it's a well-made, sturdy shelf. I'm guessing that it would be able to hold a substantial amount weight.

Don't think so..Bottom shelf only sticks out 1-1 1/2 inches, and wouldn't support anything that large.

It's tough to estimate low weight amounts. I would say that keeping the two top shelves between 5 and 10 lbs should be fine. The bottom shelf you could a concrete block as it is part of the stand supports. This computer is a heavy 17 and it does flex the two top shelves about 1/2". I have a much lighter, and newer, 17 that doesn't flex as much. My set up has a smaller Direct TV sat receiver on top, a medium sized DVD player in the middle, and an XBox 360 on the bottom. So far the little people (the kids) haven't broken anything and all components are staying much cooler.

Hmmm... 50lbs of weight on one shelf... that may be pushing it? I'd say about 25-30lbs max on each shelf.... Sorry!

From the product description, "and made of heavy duty plastic so each shelf will hold 75 pounds with the weight evenly distributed." I use it to store bike parts and put the heaviest stuff on the bottom shelves for stability purposes.

The assembly manual says it is rated to carry 50 lbs on the bottom shelf, 30 lbs on the second-bottom shelf, 40 lbs on the third-bottom shelf (the one which marks the division in the bookcase), and 30 lbs on the remaining two shelves above it. The very top is not rated to carry any load, though in my experience you can at least set a few small, lightweight things on top with no issues.

Mine holds a large assortment of dishes in the spare closet. I'm sure one of the shelves is holding around 50lbs with no issues. It's screwed directly into the studs, where it can be and the others are toggle bolts, I've had no issues. I would not attempt 100 lbs on this shelving unless every single support was screwed into a stud. (and then I'd still be leery)

Not sure of exact weight it can hold but these shelves are very sturdy & made of heavy wood so im sure it can hold quite a bit.

I have approx. 15-20 lbs per shelf. I would suggest tho - using 2 wall mounts instead of just the one in the package. I have it sitting on carpet with a floor molding, so the shelf cannot stand completely straight. I used just the one & it eventually pulled from the wall. Overall I really like the shelves - I purchased 2 and would purchase again, if I needed another.

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.
