Do shelves sag in the middle due to weight of cds?

We have had this filled with cd for about 2 months now and cannot notice any sagging.

I'm not sure what the question is. If it's how much weight does this bookcase hold, I would say a fair amount. I have books on every shelf, majority of the shelf covered and I haven't seen any sagging yet. The shelf can be a little wobbly if you don't secure it to the wall but I have it butted up against another shelf.

I'm using them on a bookcase unit with hard cover books and they're holding, but sagging out at the top. It is because my shelf is a little too small for the width of the bookcase. They certainly seem better than the peg kind I was using which would not hold the shelf in place.

Hard to say. Might be too top heavy. Maybe if you put books on bottom shelf.

No. Although sturdy, these units simply snap together, and there would be some flex, so the likelihood of things falling off the shelf is about 95%.

All parts are particle board. With the short length and front edge piece, the shelves won't sag. They're heavy, but once in place, what does that matter?

I would say a heavy book would probably cause the shelves to bend and possibly snap. When I push down on them they flex.

These shelves are holding a combination of books and miscellaneous papers/files, spread out pretty evenly. I would guess that if you distribute the weight evenly you'll be okay.

Quite a bit of weight. Mine has clothes hanging from one end to the other on the top shelp and 3/4 of the way on the bottom.Above the clothesall the way across I have boxes of shoes on one end and 6 stacking boxes filled with purses. My small shelves hold books.We installed as directed in the directions. There is no pulling away from the way or sagging on the shelves. ( They are wood)

You could use an "L" bracket attached to the wall and slip the top shelf of the over the bracket and it would hold fine. Home Depot or a good hardware store would have the brackets. You would need an "L" shaped bracket about 5" wide to go UNDER the units as the weight of the CDs would probably cause it to fall apart if supported from the top.

Not too sturdy at all. I've placed just four bottles of whiskey/ vodka, two on each side, closest to the metal framework. Anything placed in the center will cause shelf to sag. Also the whole unit is lightweight so if bumped, whatever is on lower shelf could slide off.

I don't think this one could sag. Each shelf is reinforced with a crosspiece at the front. I'm truly impressed with the construction. Certainly in damp conditions like out in a garage its a possibility. It is heavy but comes in lots of pieces. I assembled it right in front on where I was going to put it. Then I just tipped it up.You'll be hard pressed to get this much bang for the buck.

Depends if it is the fixed shelf or adjustable. No hardbacks in the middle of adjustable. I haven't had any bending with mine, but I use mine to display all sorts of different items, not just books. Disperse the weight and you should be alright unless your item is super heavy and right in the middle of the shelf. They aren't as flimsy as some reviews claimed them to be but they aren't Ethan Allen either ;-)

I have 2 of these shelf units and both are full of books. They are really strong and of course since the shelf itself is made of glass, there is no sagging. (The glass is really thick)

I'd agree with everyone else's comments - the shelves themselves are very sturdy but the back panel is more for decorative purposes. I keep a mix of heavy and light books on these shelves and they dont appear to have bowed at all

The shelves are adjustable, however I would not recommend for any heavy equipment.
