how much weight does this hold? I have heavy cookbooks

It is made for iPads so I would have to guess it would not hold much weight. I have never used it for anything other than my iPad.

The main factor guiding how much weight it will hold will be the strength of the screws that are used to mount it, IMHO. The screws that came with mine seemed a bit on the small side, so I went and bought longer stronger screws, and ended up using both. I certainly wouldn't be afraid to sit a couple books on mine, even if they were pretty heavy ones.

I don't think there would be a problem with a 5lb book, it seems sturdy enough, the legs can be stretched out far enough to stay balanced. I have some large music books that weigh 3lbs, or more, and I haven't had any problems.

I dont really have an exact number regarding how many pounds of weight can this bookcase handle. However, I order three of these and they have been full of books (totally full, some shelves even hold 2 layers of books) for fine for 1+ year for me. This bookshelf is made from solid wood and in my opinion it is very solid and tough.

Mine is nice and sturdy. I use it for research and I have several heavy books on it.

We put a Cuisenart and a Juicman on one, and a toaster oven on the other.For heavy books or over, say, 25 pounds, it might be shakey, unless attached to the wall.The shelves are 3/8" pressboard, so it's not meant for heavy-duty garage work, but more like kitchen shelf extras, or light books and student decoration.But in a corner, it does look quite nice, just like this picture you see. We're happy with it.

Yes I think it would. It has quite a bit of space there for a really thick cookbook. And it will hold it up very easily. I love mine...it's perfect for ALL my cookbooks!

Absolutely! I weighed my favorite ATK cookbook and it's 4.3lbs. The Plexiglas does not cover the full page, but the book stays put.

Technically I would say 5 to 7 lbs or maybe more. I have books on two shelves photo albums on the second and it seems just fine. Now let me tell you there are no kids in my home. It wobbly( on carpet at least ) so it has to stay still.

I don't know the exact weight, but I have the shelves full of hard cover books with no problems.

We used it for a drom room with lots of books. It has a pretty good strength, especially for lower shelves. More weight up top does tend to shift it back and forth a little. However, the shelves are fitted onto the frame which helps a lot. It should work well for cookbooks positioned up agains a wall.

I use this for all of my cookbooks and each shelf is holding aprox 35 lbs of books and seems to be holding up just fine.

It is very heavy, don't think it would be comfortable. It's wonderful for those huge cookbooks.

I apologize, but I did not keep the cookbook holder because it was too big under my cabinet and covered the under cabinet lighting. But after seeing it, I imagine it will hold a fairly good size book. At least one that is 8 x 10 in measurement maybe a little bigger. In thickness, probably any size as long as you don't close the holder up under your cabinet. Hope this helps.

I would estimate the weight at about 3 pounds. It can hold a professional fake book ( about 6 inches in depth) easily. This stand is sturdy.

Yes, it can hold heavy cookware. Currently my baker's rack is holding many pieces of pottery and glassware.

I'm not going to weigh it for you; it is a heavyweight and holds two of my books side by side and another in front of those. It is a delightful cookbook holder and serves to hold very large cookbooks wide open without tipping over as flimsy ones have in the past. I love it and wouldn't part with mine.
