How much weight can each drawer hold long term without bending or bowing?

I wouldn't fill them with hammers. Maybe golf balls. Mine are *packed* with clothes and haven't changed shape in 2-3 years.

I would say they can hold a decent amount. Depends on what you want to put in it. They are pretty strong. If you're planning on clothing, towels, and most household items items shouldn't be a problem. If you plan on holding books I wouldn't recommend it.

Sorry, I am just using them for extra clothes. Asking about the weight would probably generate an answer if someone knew more about what you wanted to use them for.

I have no problems with the drawers. Not too bad. I suppose they could be a little heavy duty but it was a great price.

I have 15 lbs of rice and a rice cooker on one shelf and two cardboard boxes full of Coke on another shelf. No bending at all. It's a nice cabinet. I've had mine for about 5 months.

Would probably only hold 2 reams per drawer. Those trams would be pushing the weight limit. It's cheaper plastic that bends. Not as strong as you would think.

Maybe 30 -40 per drawer--1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Depends on how big the folders are. t

Should work fine as long as combined weight of drawer and contents is less than 100 pounds. The drawer slides in my 20+ year old kitchen are almost identical and work fine.

I really dont know because it did not work for me as it was too wobbly. I use the drawers only now and fit them in a closet I have. That works fine.

I keep telephone books, and some recipe books in mine. The drawer should be strong enough for your silverware.

Most shelves will support up to 30 lbs, this is the makers suggestion. In practice a more reasonable weight is between 20 and 25 lbs, after that they start to bend. The shelf above the drawer is supposed to hold 40lbs, a more reasonable weight is 30lbs, otherwise the shelf bends slightly and can cause the drawer to stick and when it is opened there is difficulty is closing it. In other words the weight causes the draw t stick.

Not to be guaranteed. The drawers are vertically close together, but if you have small items (eg. Loose Beads, finish nails), I would not count on items staying put.

The drawer backing is a thin particle board material. I had a few remote controls and a few heavy instruction manuals in the drawer that happened to bow it's shape. Made it difficult to open unless you lifted the board up from underneath. Would not suggest placing anything heavy inside.

Absolutely not. The attaching parts for this drawer are barely even strong enough to support the drawer, let alone a laptop. My drawer broke off and stripped the holes out in the process not even a week after I bought this desk, and there was nothing heavy in the drawer at all.

We have found the hinges to be very sturdy. My daughters have this holder almost full. It is frequently moved from a dressing table to shelf and back without any problems or loose hinges.

I believe that the instructions said that the shelves will hold up to 40 pounds. They appear to be quite sturdy and I would not be concerned about storing ordinary items on them. I have books, Lladros, brass statues, etc and they do not bow at all. The backing is pretty flimsy as I said in my full review but it actually is a good unit for the price.

Never thought to try that... Just checked though and they are not strong enough for that. They stick together very well in the drawer though so it's always easy to find which one you need.

I would say the weight capacity of each shelf is the same as any bookshelf with movable (i.e., not fixed) shelves. The shelves are an inch thick, so they aren't likely to bend easily.

i can not directly answer your question. However i would like to warn you, especially since you are asking about the interior of the drawer. The bottom of the drawers are very flimsy. So flimsy its amazing Sauder designed it like that. These drawers cannot hold 4 note pad (8x11) without buckling.. and thats after I reinforced the bottom of the drawer with nails not included with the package.
