What is the total weight limit for each shelf. I have a set of heavy books I want to store.

Product didn't come with any weight recommendations but it is a very sturdy piece of furniture. Wouldn't hesitate to buy, I'm sure it will accommodate whatever you can throw at it.

I haven't found any problem. They're very sturdy. Actual weight I wouldn't know, but for the price it's a very well built bookcase.

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

I Think they are very strong and will hold those books. one of the best values on the internet.

I don't know what the limit is but I had both shelves filled with hard-cover books. It is very sturdy.

I honestly haven't put a ton of weight on them. I have all kids books loaded in one of the small baskets on the upper shelf, but the second small basket just has toys in it, as well as the big basket on the bottom. They can probably hold a good bit of weight. I don't think I would have trouble if it were all books.

I am not sure of the exact weight limit, but I have atleast 30 books plus other items on mine and it seems fine. The different size "nooks" a great for all the different size books I have. I would also suggest maybe putting the heavier books where there is the most support underneath. I had so much fun "filling" the first one I bought a second unit.

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!

Check with the manf for the weight limits. I can tell you, I have books, TV Box, and some other heavy stuff and it's rock solid. I plan on buying a few more for some other rooms that I'm working on.

This large book shelf holds 20lb max. load and is 10 inches deep. I have hardcover heavy cookbooks and a couple of paperbacks on mine and it works just fine. Make sure you install it properly so it remains sturdy.

On the last page of the instruction booklet it tells you the maximum weight for each shelf......20 pounds for the top three shelves and 35 pounds for the bottom shelf!DUHHHHH ! KEEP THE PAPERWORK!!

The physical dimensions of the five shelves set one limit but I think that the weight of the books would be even more critical. Check the directions carefully for weight limits on each shelf.

I've got 4 book boxes, each weighing around 60 lbs., on the bottom two shelves of one unit. I estimate the total weight on that unit at around 260-275 lbs. and it's carried that load for a year with no problems. I would advise putting heavy items on the bottom two shelves only, so the unit won't tip easily (in case it gets bumped).

We put books on ours, which weigh quite a bit. I think it would hold some dishes, but I wouldn't put as much as the space of each shelf allows. These shelves don't like to be moved around a lot though. And completely empty them if you plan to move them even a few inches.

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, but I have the shelves full of hard cover books with no problems.

Manufacturer recommends no more than 25 lbs. per shelf. You will notice bowing if you exceed the recommendation. I have heavy books and kept them to each side on selves and placed decorative items on shelf in middle. Very attractive unit (although a real chore to assemble).

I found somewhere the hinges that your looking to buy would hold 250 lbs. I built my bookshelf out of 1x6 spruce lumber but I'm only using mine for DVDs. But honestly the hinges are heavy duty enough for close to anything. I changed the design of mine to accommodate them to work better for my application.

How much weight can each shelf hold? I bought a cheap wood one two years ago and the shelves have got to the point it looks bent. I need something that will hold at least 40 pounds for each shelf since there is five all together. Is it flimsily? I need something that is strong and that won't bend.

Maybe 1 or 2 heavy textbooks per shelf (maybe). Would def. not recommend using it as a bookcase! i have a couple picture frames, candles, decor items on mine. We had to rig it majorly! Make sure you have a dude handy with his own tools and screws as well. The ones provided stripped extremely easily for some reason and was missing pieces. It is really cute once you get it put together though.

From the product description, "and made of heavy duty plastic so each shelf will hold 75 pounds with the weight evenly distributed." I use it to store bike parts and put the heaviest stuff on the bottom shelves for stability purposes.
