does anyone know how much weight each shelf can hold? Thanks

from top shelf to bottom shelf, in lbs.: 25, 25, 35, 25, 40. The differences are because the middle and bottom shelves are attached by screws and are fixed; the other three shelves are held in by pins on either side of the unit.

I'm using it in my laundry room and don't have a lot of weight on the shelves but they are sturdy. I think they should support 150 lbs each especially if the weight is fairly evenly spread

Terri, these shelves easily hold over 200 lbs dispersed across them - the limiting factor for weight is wheels breaking up due to total unit loading.

The shelves are very sturdy , I feel they would hold a set of encyclopedias...I do not know the weight limit on them

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

There is no way these shelves would support that much weight. It's a clothing system and as such likely designed for about 1/10 those numbers.

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.

I think the manufacturer recommends no more than 20 or 25 pounds per shelf. I've had it for a year as a bookshelf with around 30 pounds per shelf and haven't seen any problems.

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!

Hmmm... 50lbs of weight on one shelf... that may be pushing it? I'd say about 25-30lbs max on each shelf.... Sorry!

There is 3 racks/shelves so you could put one on each shelf. I would guess you could get 25 pounds in there total, maybe more.

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.

They are sturdy but I don't know how much weight you could put on them. I have pictures and knickknacks which aren't that heavy. It is a nice shelf. I like it a lot.

I'm not sure about how much weight but I have these in my garage and in my basement and I have all kinds of things on the shelves - seems like it holds a lot if you ask me. Very sturdy. Sorry if I couldn't be too specific.

I don't know the exact weight allowance for each shelf. I have stacks of folded fabric in rows on each shelf, and shelves seem to be sturdy. It would depend upon what you are putting on the shelves.

Not very much. Maybe about 15 at most. But the shelves tend to wobble a tiny bit, so you can't have too much on each. The bigger shelves at the bottom can hold heavier weight than the top ones.
