How much weight will these cubes support? Are they sturdy?

Hi.. I'm not sure what the specifications are for the cube shelves, as I have thrown away the box. I use it for light duty ( food pantry stuff)The heaviest item I have is stored in one the shelves at the bottom is a bucket of rice. That is quite heavy. But I would not put really heavy stuff in all shelves. It is sturdy to a certain degree, as they snap in to place with the round connectors. The shelves would fit the cube organizers.

I keep books & magazines stacked in them for my store. I often have about 40 pounds in the bottom & 20 or more in the upper cubes. They are extremely sturdy. I am always getting books out or putting new ones in so they take abuse. My only comment about this is that you really need to use a rubber mallet to make sure each & every one of the plastic corners is all the way in & tight.

I would hesitate to load them with hardcover books, or densely stored paperbacks. Nor would I keep my dumbbells on them. But I would keep a couple of reams of printer paper, index card files, loose-leaf binders, and that sort of thing on them. The wire grid may bow a little under weight, but I would fear the plastic attachment pieces would break. I have not found a source to buy more.

They are pretty sturdy. My daughter has a small tv on top of them in her college room.

Hello, Mike. Yes, they are relatively stable. But stackable, I would think not so much, actually. I am presently using three of these in my home and so far, they are, indeed, holding up rather nicely. Instead of stacking, maybe if you had more space to go on, then maybe brining on more, maybe albeit, smaller racks, may be the way to go here.

Definitely not. They will collapse. I'd say no more than 3 lbs max on top of them.

Remember they are aluminum. ........... quite sturdy and heavy enough for aluminum.

I am not too sure they are not real heavy but yet sturdy to hold up to 250 lbs hope this helps you have a good day

Yes I would say so. I believe they could support that weight. They are strongly built. But the batteries are not user replaceable and I am not sure how long they will last. I have had some for over six months and only one has failed. The others last all night. I use them on my dock and sea wall. A little pricey if I do not get at least three years use.

They're really pretty sturdy, I don't think the weight would be an issue. You can check the dimensions of the shelves under product details to see if those will fit.

Yes they were very sturdy. I often had the kids use them as a lap desk and they did not bend. They were warped to begin with and stayed that way.

I can't exactly answer that question, but I will say ours are not very sturdy. I'm under 200 lbs. and not good for everyday use. Probably OK for a person under 300 lbs. for occasional use.

I can't say for sure, but I think they are sturdy enough that it should be okay! I pounded mine in with a sledge hammer (gently).

They are very sturdy! We had a different one before, and it was not nearly as strong as this one we have. Just as long as you keep it on a level floor, this can handle a ton of weight. :-)

I think they could easily hold 30 lbs each. But I would secure the bottom to a big square board for more stability.

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.

I weigh about 170 lbs and have stood on mine a few times climbing up to the drop down bed in my toy hauler. I have them mounted on a table that I made that's attached to the wall with a removable hinge and the table is supported with 4 of these. SO... I'd feel good about saying that they will support at a minimum of 50 lbs each. Just MY opinion and NOT an official recommendation by any means.

I am not sure what you are considering placing on these shelves so it is difficult to assess your exact needs...if i knew your weight requirements then I could make a better assessment. I have only used them for shoes...but they are well constructed and sturdy. They feel like they could hold considerable weight without bowing or bending.

They're made of very thick plastic. Very sturdy -- I weigh 205 and could stand and even jump on the things with no problem.They're as comfortable as any hard thing is to sit on. We bought small cushions and put them on top of each one of the two cubes we bought.
