Is the bookshelf sturdy enough to hold a printer/scanner on the bottom shelf?

Yes, it is!! I'm not sure you could open the top/lid on the scanner all the way without it hitting the next shelf above it. You would have to measure your scanner lid.

Yes the bookshelf is sturdy enough if your printer would fit however; my concern would be how your power cord in the back of the printer/scanner would effect the overall fit as each shelf is boxed or framed in.

Gave this to my step daughter for her son's toys and her husband fastened it to the wall- otherwise not sure

The bookcase is sturdy enough to hold set of encyclopedias and other books. The printed and some paraphilia sits on the top shelf. I hope this gives you an insight.

I have a 12 volume set of encyclopedias on the bottom shelf and it's held up fine. I put a large stack of magazines on the second shelf up from the bottom and the shelf became quite wobbly (tightening all the screws didn't help). The top shelf is quite shallow so only smaller items will fit there. I've got potted plants on a couple of the shelves and those are holding up nicely. I wouldn't trust these for anything holding liquid (like wine bottles or vases with water).

I placed college text books on the bottom to help anchor the bookcase. All of the rest of the shelves I filled with books - both paperback & hardback, along with some vases & pictures on the small areas. It seems to be totally sturdy. I don't know for sure how much weight I actually have in the shelf, but it is FULL!

I'm not sure I understand this question, if your asking if it will hold books it should it seems sturdy enough.

I definitely think so! As long as the assembly is correct, you should haven't problem. the bottom shelf is stabilized by a post underneath to the ground.

It is pretty sturdy if yours is assembled correctly. After 2 ours didn't roll right. I wouldn't put too much weight on it but it should be fine for day to day use and some heavy books. As for the tracks, you will screw the tracks that are connected to the roll out top to the desk with 4 legs.

I agree with the other responses. I have a full shelf of books on the bottom, the other 2 shelves each 1/2 full of books, and a large book of Kells on the top. It is sturdy, but is likely to wobble from the printer movement. At most I would recommend a small printer, preferably on the lower shelves.

Hello, Darlene! I believe the shelf immediately above the main shelf would accommodate the printer so long as it isn't more than 13" in length, but I don't think it would secure the weight too well.--Some of the screws do not align well with the pre-drilled holes; consequently that particular shelf is not very stable.

I would agree with the previous two responses. I use it to support a large dictionary, with some books on the bottom shelf and light knick-knacks on the middle two.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. You could also put anything really heavy on the bottom.

No. It can hold only light items. It could hold paperback books, for example, but not hefty textbooks. When I tried to use the shelves this way, they out and stripped the supports in such a way as to be no longer usable. A full size printer would be too heavy.

I have this shelf unit with the wheels attached and it has a bit of flexibility. If you took the wheels off and had a couple packs of printer paper in the lower drawer, it should work for your needs. That would be assuming your printer runs somewhat stable and is not one the shakes and rocks and rolls as it prints. J. Michael

it can hold a small photo printer, I use the corner shelf for a 2nd monitor and a speaker.

I think it probably had hollow core door s or something. I am not sure I'd think it was sturdy enough to hold printer/fax machine. They are not extremely heavy duty, but they look good in a closet.

I have about 15 books on the lower shelf and that seems to be stable. Not sure of they would hold a set of encyclopedias, I also have a cd/ stereo and speakers on the middle shelf and have had no issues.I hope this helps.

If this is the type of printer/scanner you'd buy from Office Max, etc., then yes, it is sturdy enough. It is a pretty solid cabinet.
