I am looking for something to store product literature. Each grouping/slot would be about 10 pounds. Is it sturdy enough to fill with that weight/s

I use my unit for plastic boxes of fishing lures. I would estimate the weight of no more than 3 to 4 LBs. I do keep catalogs and copy paper in the far row of bins. The weak point would be the shelf pins which are plastic. These could be replaced with metal pin if this were to become a problem.

I don't think I would put ten pounds. It would probably start to sag after a while. I hope this helps.

The outer frame and the shelf walls are very sturdy pressed wood. The actual shelves are a fairly sturdy, and the shelf supports are plastic dowel pins. I'm not sure the pins would hold up to that amount of weight if used horizontally. If the unit were turned vertically, then the "shelves" would be dividers. The unit would definitely support that.

I never put too much weight on them. Just a few books and lighter weight boxes of craft stuff. I also used them for storing clothes. I never really tested them to hold a regular amount of books.

Yes, I think so. I have a lot of entertainment stuff (equipment, DVDs, WII games and accessories, etc.) stored in mine and it seems quite sturdy. The shelves are about 3/4" thick and seem quite strong.

No but it would hold the weight. I have a significant amount of books on there.

In my opinion this would not be good for book storage. They are very deep and the front tilts up to keep items in. Great for loose toys though!

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.

Usually those are pretty light, so I would say yes! It is a pretty heavy piece itself - a lot heavier than your typical folding shelf.

This piece of furniture is poorly made. I actually didn't have much luck with this item as it snapped into two. I definitely would not suggest anything heavy since I used it as a bookshelf. Each contained nothing more than paperbacks and it flopped. Hated it. Good luck!

It does seem sturdy enough. Mine is used for bathroom storage--towels, shampoos, soaps, lotions, etc.

I wouldn't put anything heavy (books, electronics, donkeys, etc) on it...it's fabric and the attachments are little plastic pieces. Buy a shelf. Otherwise this is a solid piece.

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.

Yes, considering only the weight, it would definitely hold it. I use it to store small tools, flower pots, paint and a variety of gardening supplies.

If you put it together well, I think it could hold that. I don't have anything too heavy on it, but it seems pretty sturdy. FYI - putting it together takes a LONG TIME and the box is very very heavy!

It seems pretty sturdy. It has a metal frame on the bottom, not just the plastic wicker. My daughter uses it at college and puts books inside. It can hold a few books, a gallon of milk or a small dog. I can't think of anything that would be small enough to fit inside that it could not hold.

It could be used for DVDs and scrapbooks. I think it seems sturdy -- I can sit on it with no problem (I weigh 124 lbs).

Hi Nancy...I think it would work well. My husband has it on a small table next to his reading chair and keeps folders with information on the bottom 2 shelves. On the top shelf he keeps his Kindle and a notebook. Even though there is a bit of weight on each shelf the shelves have never seemed to sag. I think it is a pretty good little shelf unit and unless you put a huge amount of weight on each shelf I don't see a problem. I hope this helps.

I have know idea but it was not excessively heavy if that is what your worried about. I found this product to be of remarkably good quality. I did not use it for music. I use it to hold a large book for studying.
