I am not sure on weight, I can tell you that it is a very sturdy system. What are you looking to store on it?

Mine just broke after 3 years. I had mens suits hanging. The screws holding the wooden rack eventually pulled though the bracket. I am in the process of replacing right now.

Check the specifications. The kit comes with heavy duty anchors that screw into the Sheetrock, so the shelves are supported well. We have all of our clothes and several shelves filled with no problem.

The wooden bars are very sturdy; we have hung (weight/volume-wise) what we would hang on metal bars and there has been no problem whatsoever! I hope this helps?!

The bars are strong but the strength depend on the installation. If uYou are indtaling and mount to studs you are fine. I have 4 closets instal but highly recommend you use a good contractor for install.

I loved those stools but I would not buy them. The screws kept falling out and after one year of use, the welding on one of the legs came totally loose and I almost fell off. I think they would hold a weight of 250 lbs or 200 lbs. I had to throw away the stool. I do not recommend them for that reason. I would not trust it again.

The amount of weight it holds depends on if you attach the wall standards (the uprights) to wood studs or not. It will not hold that much weight if attached to sheetrock only. My suggestion would be to look at the Seville closet organizers if you are worried about weight. For their larger systems, you get 2 shelf towers and 2 closet bars that hold a decent amount of weight. Plus you don't have to find any studs, as they are free standing units.

I'm no expert on wood. It looks like oak. It holds me. I weigh 155 pounds. I seem to remember a weight limit somewhere in the description, if that's your concern.

They are metal, but it uses a detent spring loaded "ball" mechanism to "lock" into length position. I would not trust it to hold weight of a person.

I can't give you an accurate answer. My guess would be that they would probably support total weight of about 75 pounds comfortably . Which means that each bar would probably support somewhere in the vicinity of about 40 pounds distributed along its length. Keep in mind this is strictly guess. I would not want to see anyone injured.

I'm not sure but it is a "soft" wood. Where I have them, they are not going to get used as an everyday use table so I think they will hold up.

no they are small round metal bars. I love mine and it was very easy to put up, even for me :-)

Hi. I purchased these and they look like real wood to me. They were easy to assemble and we really like them.

How much weight can each shelf hold? I bought a cheap wood one two years ago and the shelves have got to the point it looks bent. I need something that will hold at least 40 pounds for each shelf since there is five all together. Is it flimsily? I need something that is strong and that won't bend.

they actually dont come with the typical "J hooks" you would find at an actual gym. they're more like "L hooks" if you ask me, but they're pretty solid and can hold some serious weight. i've personally only put about 250lb on them several times and the hooks work well. the only thing i would say bad about them is that they are kind of long so the bar seems to roll around a lot.

Not sure of the wood, but it definitely is a "hardwood". Mine have a cherry wood stain. As far as capacity, I'm 198 lbs, and these accommodate me with no problem. They are heavy and stable and swivel without effort. I'm really impressed with the quality and design of these stools, and would definitely recommend them.

The bars will handle the weight (up to 220 lbs). They may not be tall enough for some of your exercises, though. They are 5" tall.

I'm using them as a support for a shelf over my fire place and not putting anything more than knick knacks on it. I wouldn't put anything heavier than that and a few books. Call it 20 pound load at most.

Mine came today (3/25/15) with plastic brackets. I'm worried about them supporting the metal cross bars and legs when in use. I'm not really sure who or how to complain or report this to. I guess I'll have to figure that out.

I have heavy family members and so am I. I know these hold over 300lbs. Very sturdy wood. I used wood glue before adding screws.
