Is this closest rack sturdy enough to use as a general storage rack for boxes weighing around 30 Lbs each? Thanks in advance!

I would say yes I actually ended up standing in it for a few minutes while rearranging things although I was worried it may bend under my weight it was actually surprisingly sturdy.

It is pretty sturdy but I don't think its built for 150 lbs on just the right side of it. If the weight was balanced I would say yes.

Can't say for certain. I have light things on them. I would guess that the shelves, despite the light weight, could support smaller items that would add up to 50 pounds, I would not place one heavy item of that girth on any one shelf. The balance type design, that is the shelf stands on the flat ends of the four folding panels this discourages me more from adding too much weight more so than the potential of the shelves buckling. It works for me b/c I never intended to place heavier objects and it serves more as a divider that storage or display for large items. Hope this helps I know it is inconclusive but I don't want to go outside my experience range. Can't say for certain. I have light things on them.

I think they are really good shelfs but, I wouldn't load them that heavy for several reasons. I would never load anything at the maximum load. It is just asking for trouble. I always like to give myself a little safety factor in case somethind strange occurs. It very well may hold 350 lbs per shelf but why press your luck. If you want a shelf to hold that much you should buy a commercial shelving unit.

For sure. It's pretty solid. I have a plate tree, but if you put your plates on the supports that come on this rack, it's even sturdier.

I purchased two racks, have tons of clothes on the racks (added an another row for shirts, so I has two levels of shirts.) I also have heavy baskets sitting on top and two bins of shoes on the other bottom rack. I have no worries of it collapsing - I've owned other items by this manufacturer and they are all still very sturdy/same as they were when purchased. I highly recommend this!

Hi Carol, The items shelves are only meant to hold around 30-40 lbs. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Manhattan Lane Support Team

I would not feel comfortable with putting 300 lbs on it. I am using it as a kitchen prep table, with the bottom shelf for light items such as a crock pot, stainless bowls, and frying pans. The table is quite solid and does not wobble, however, in my opinion it is a great work surface rather than a storage table.

We put a large hard shell Sears Cargo holder on it. It held about 100 lbs of more with no issue. The racks were very stable. You can adjust them in spacing.

I just use it as a shelf in the laundry room so probably have never had more than 30 pounds on mine. I've got three brackets on a 48" shelf. Seems sturdy enough, but I doubt I'd put 150 pounds on it.

I just tried one. Yes they are very sturdy. They are very light so storage would have to support them upright.

Sorry I threw out the box. All I can tell you is the construction of the racks are sturdy. I've used them many times.

The rack itself can certainly handle it. It's all about how you mount it. Make sure you hit studs or use anchors.

I think its sturdy enough. If u find it isnt u can always try bolting it. Its a very nice shelving system

The shelves help stabilize the rack. I wouldn't risk ii, especially if you are placing heavy items on the top shelf.

I use this rack for totes and it works just fine. Keep heavier stuff on the bottom, obviously, and it's great. Pretty sturdy. Two normal sized totes are a little snug side by side on a shelf but other than that it's fine.

No, its not structurally strong enough or wide enough. Hanger rack is only about a foot in diameter.

I am using my 2 for a file cabinet and shelf. I believe they will be sturdy enough for your intended use but I have not had the occasion to use them as such.. Nina Quinlan
