Is this sturdy enough to hold one or more hardcover children's book per pocket?

I think that might be pushing it. I have it filled with papers for my classroom and when it is full for each pocket I feel like it won't hold much more. I might get a few smaller ones that have less pocket for children's hardcover books.

I bought this as a gift for my daughters, who are teachers. They tell me that if cannot hold a great deal of weight. They would suggest not putting over one book in a pocket and then should only put 5-6 books at the utmost as it cannot hold a lot of weight.

No.... Maybe a few but not one in each pocket. I've got file folders, papers, assignments, etc.... Not any books.

I would think so. Be sure to secure it firmly to the wall. I only used plain little nails in each grommet on the top into a regular drywall type of wall - no studs, no anchors. I keep packs of construction paper, tissue paper, stickers and coloring books in ours and its been good. Hope that helps.

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.

Yes. The two arms will hold a book that is about 4-5" when open. (We actually use it to hold a small netbook computer, though.)

I really can't give you a precise answer, I use it for cook books and my planner but it would support a coffee table book I am sure. Pretty sturdy and good sized. I am quite happy with it. I have a full sized planner and it is completely supporte without hanging over the edges.

I am not sure if they would hold books. I have one that is very snug on the shelf and the other isn't as snug and tends to wiggle too much. They are on the exact same shelf. I think the thickness is roughly 2". If you got 2 that fit a shelf snug, holding up books might be okay.

I have heavy books on mine and it's sturdy enough to hold them. I think that if it fits in your pantry, it would work.

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.

yes, it is sturdy! I placed a tons of books and it is still working perfect. I admit I was afraid of changing every shelf support because at the end these are just plastic( I mean what is holding the 4 shelves beneath). I did not have time and they are still there working exc! You can find others cheaper but at least for me the price is a little expensive but it worths. At the beginning it looks the same as Walmart or Target's shelf bookcase, but you will notice eventually that the quality is much better. I hope it will help you,AG

I don't know that i would use them to hold textbooks sized but maybe paperback novels. I haven't put a whole lot of weight on mine since i use them at artist alley. The times i have used it for heavier storage it has not batted a eyelash though. As long as you don't weight it with 30 math books you should be alright.

Ummm, I'm going to say yes. Maybe not side by side perfectly and tidy... Depending on what you're going for, and the size, you could probably fit three in randomly. I use mine for kids books. They're a little flimsier than the thick iron ones you'd see at Lowes or Home Depot. But it does the job for the price! :)

I did not use it for that but my son used it for school books for the past year so I imagine it would hold up. Near the end of the year the telescoping handle became a bit temperamental but still worked. Large back pocket will certainly hold quite a bit.

Yes, it can hold a normal hardcover or paperback book. I measured mine and here are the measurements: 10.5" x 8" x 3". It works great for us.

I would think so depending on the thickness and weight. I wouldn't expect it to hold on an Enc. Brit., but smaller paperbacks should be fine.

It's pretty sturdy. Depending on how many you wanted to hold in each section, I think it could work.

I don't think these are sturdy enough for books. I have handbags stored on mine and they get very wobbly with too much weight. If your 4 and 5 year olds are like my nephews, they'll have lots of books. Better to go for something sturdier. I think you'll have more flexibililty.

Actually yes... and what a good idea that is! I bought it for a one year old to put his toys in and pull around.. when he outgrows that I will do something else with it. But yes books would be really cool to store in it.. It isn't flimsy you just have to make sure the handle and wheels are facing the right way.

Definitely yes. I doubles stuffed each page, and they hold well. If you have a Wal-Mart nearby, you can always see how a similar product compares. Happy shipping.
