How much weight can the shelving hold before they begin stressing?

I would say no more than 40lbs. I only have pictures and a photo album and small knick knacks on it. That's the most I feel comfortable with. But it's very sturdy and looks great.

Those shelves are quite thick and extremely strong. I woudn't worry much unless you intend on keeping your barbells on it.

No idea, I have nothing heavy on it so I wouldn't know, sorry. But it's gorgeous and I have it in my bedroom, I have pictures and candles and plants on mine. And if I have a need to put books on it, I would, it feels sturdy enough.

They are really sturdy and can stand up to a lot of weight. My only advice would be that they are really hard to decorate on. I was super excited to get them and then gave them away because they stood empty the whole time I had them. I couldn't send them back because it says once u open box u can not return them. Hope this helps!

Not sure what you are trying to put on these but they appear to be very sturdy.

I have 2 sets of China and curios in it. Not exactly sure how much weight each shelf can hold.

The lower two shelves could hold that. I wouldn't put more than 50lbs or so on these though, unless you anchor it to the wall somehow.

The shelves are double-strength glass supported in each corner. It depends how the weight is distributed, but I would guess 5 pounds in the center, 10 pounds if most of the weight is on the two sides. This is a guess.

I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit. I know they may not look it or sound it when you read about what they are made of and such, but I have found them to be very sturdy shelves that really can hold a lot and which I think look quite nice, especially when you consider the low price. I use them in my home office and at times have really loaded the some of the shelves down with books, papers and such, and mine have stayed strong and continue to look just as good as the day I bought them. Hope this helps Itzell...

On a steady basis I have about 25-35 pounds of equipment on the desk. I have also knealed on it to faciliate hanging a picture so 130 pounds have been supported. They are very sturdy! Hope this info helps.

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.

The shelves are constructed from a thin, strong plastic material. The thickness shown in the picture is a facade with supporting 3" cross-hatch behind the facade / under the solid top of shelf. If you turn any of the shelf items over, you would see compartments of about 3" square where the supports cross. This makes them very light, but very strong. I have used the shelves to hold 75 lbs on a single shelf. The only hazard is balance. Each shelf has two holes in the back where you can anchor it to drywall to maintain upright balance. -Kevin

I have yet to use it, and have no idea how much weight it will hold. I can say, however, that it's a well-made, sturdy shelf. I'm guessing that it would be able to hold a substantial amount weight.

As long as the shelf is not heavy they will hold 50 pounds look at the weight of the shelf and what you plan to put on it. I have a very heavy old picture and used two hooks for it and has held for years.

Hello,This can hold up to 1,000 lbs. per shelf (evenly distributed). The shelf do lock into place with the clips for the shelving.Thanks

It's tough to estimate low weight amounts. I would say that keeping the two top shelves between 5 and 10 lbs should be fine. The bottom shelf you could a concrete block as it is part of the stand supports. This computer is a heavy 17 and it does flex the two top shelves about 1/2". I have a much lighter, and newer, 17 that doesn't flex as much. My set up has a smaller Direct TV sat receiver on top, a medium sized DVD player in the middle, and an XBox 360 on the bottom. So far the little people (the kids) haven't broken anything and all components are staying much cooler.

I use mine for kitchen appliance storage and have had no issues, I'd say they are good for 100 or so pounds per shelf. Hope this helps, it really is a very good and strong shelving unit for the $$$.

It all depends. The shelves are fairly thick and I would say that you would be safe with 25-30 lbs evenly distributed across the whole shelf. It may hold more, but remember you are dealing with particle board material and it may sag eventually.

The shelves are sturdy, with support at all 4 corners. Distributed evenly I would guess they could hold 10+ pounds. Mine store a dozen baseballs in holders, on each shelf, with no problem.

The shelves would definitely not hold 25 lbs. I have light items like cosmetics on mine (I have it in a bathroom). I love the shelf unit, but it isn't sturdy in that way.
