Is this sturdy enough to support books (some textbooks) on every shelf?

it is very sturdy. Absolutely great quality. I have some heavy text books on the bottom shelf but it would definitely support them on each shelf, as long as you don't overload them.

Yes - it's very sturdy. You can stack books in each shelf without any concerns.

Yes, The shelf is light but strong enough to ill with books. I have put that in my kids room with his books, more than what it is in the pic. Only think is there is no L bracket to fasten the shelf to the wall. Get that from your local hardware store.

Yes the shelf can hold text books. Depending on the size you may have to place lying down

Yes, this shelf is very sturdy. I've got it loaded with heavy appliances and it's not bowed and continues to slide easily.

Yes. It is supporting my 13" apple laptop right now and could easily hold something heavier and wider. This is a VERY sturdy book stand.

I don't think it would hold a lot of of books, as on every shelf. The shelfs are steel reinforced but I'd be concerned about the stability of the unit and the possibility of it toppling with too much weight. Otherwise, it is a very nice piece.

Yes! They are sturdy enough for books and easily assembled and look great for the price.

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 would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood. I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these.

It is fairly sturdy but I don't think it would support boxes of books but I have a container of knitting & crocheting things on top of it. I love the 2 I have and need 1 more!!!

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

Absolutely. They are very sturdy and can be easily moved when needed. Wont fall over or be pushed around like many bookends. Would be perfect for an open ended shelf with a free end where you wanted to put books all the way to the end.

It is sturdy enough for books but I'm not sure about mounting on the wall. I am doubtfully but haven't tried it.

Yes, definitely sturdy enough. Mine are loaded on every shelf. All bottles on every shelf with no space and they are 2 years old now. Although a lot of my bottles are too tall for anything except the top shelf. I would make sure you get brackets to attach to the wall though.

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.
