I saw the review saying the chains broke. I plan on putting med/small spaghetti/butternut/acorn squash in these. Does anyone know the weight capas?

I would guess that it would hold that...my first one arrived un-assembled, and one of the chains didn't have a clip, so I couldn't put it together...after my bad review I was sent another one, but have not used it as I had already come up with an alternative that I preferred by the time it got here...it also seemed like it had come straight from China, which made me a little weary, but I tend to be a bit paranoid with stuff like that :P :)

I don't know the exact weight capacity, but our chains have not broke and currently is holding 2 avocados, garlic in the top. 6 bananas in the middle and 6 apples and 4 potatoes in the bottom. We keep ours full and with lots of weight and have not had a problem. I would recommend this.

I own a pair of these 3_tier wire hanging baskets. I stored 3-types of onions on one hanger and 3-types of potatos on the other hanger. If your hanger(s) are properly secured to the ceiling by toggle(s), I recommend no more than 10-12 lbs total each hanger.

Tonya, I didn't see the review about chains breaking, and I am not sure what was put in the baskets from that review. But I can tell you that I have been very happy with mine and have onions, red potatoes and large russet potatoes in it. And cant imagine it breaking, holds everything very nicely to me. Hope this helps.

No problems here. I have grapefruits, several large onions, apples, and a bunch of other stuff. Just make sure you have a good anchor in the ceiling, and you should be good to go.

I haven't tested the fill capacity of this basket yet. The chains on my are nice and thick and unlike other baskets, they are clipped together and not welded to the baskets. Most baskets I have had break at the welds. I currently have had 5 to 8 pounds of items in this basket, depending on the time, and have had no problems. I would think it could handle 10 lbs at least.

You will smoosh them like they are saltine crackers. I used mine once and sent the broken pieces back and I have half the weight as you.

They can definitely be frail, we bent several of them using the rock method when we couldn't find our mallet. I would use a mallet or your shoe to push them in. Better yet, go get the 12 in ABS plastic ones, we purchased those after these and they are beasts. They can be hard to get out of the ground so definitely use a stake puller (can be purchased for only a few dollars online or at a regular store) but that is a good thing, means it wont pull up and have your tent fly away in windy conditions! These have been retired to our backup pile for emergency uses only.

Hey Doug they are screwed on for me because they always seem to get lose after a while I just glued them down as well. Hope this helps. thank you and good luck. last thing too if your thinking about buying don't get anything 50 or over in lbs its to much to pull every time. truth me on that ^_^

I did, but it caused them to squeak a little bit, as the sides rubbed. I took them apart and applied a little axle grease. Not a single squeak for over a year now. I think it's better to keep the chain from chafing the shoulders.

They are not heavy. I thought you can Crazy Glue a fishing line to them with a weight reaching bottom of lake to them. That might work.

That's how I am using them as well. I don't belive a toddler would be able to pull them over, they are very well balanced and once you add your vegatables the weight would make it very hard for a small child to tip.

I'm an avid hiker with many lightweight, expensive pole sets. Sacheen, I thank you for asking this exceedingly simple question. I'm rather saddened to see opinion answers ("They're not too heavy to me?") to a quantitative question. I am sorry that you actually had to purchase them to find that they are too heavy. I believe you. Sorry too that your scale was broken at the time, and no one else seems to have simply placed these on a small gram/ounce scale to get an actual weight. Thanks again, Sacheen, for saving me from buying these. I'm willing to pay more for high performance, lightweight poles for my Nordic walking/hikes of up to 20 miles a day.

They are not substantial. They are hard plastic and the minimum of size and substance. The axles are weak and bend easily.

Not sure but I am 305 lbs and I dont feel like it is going to break. They are metal not plastic so they feel sturdy enough. Not like the kind I broke at a wedding a few years back.

Not only weight is a concern. They don't provide any customer care. The no. they provided doesn't work. They are many worn & tore while shipping. So, think twice before going for it.

Hello Barbara! I just took a picture for you how they look on my feet and try to edit my review so that you can actually see the back. The weight is exactly 1.8 lbs for both shoes. All I can tell you is that these gardening shoes are extremely comfy and worth the money! I hope i could help... Have a nice day!

I haven't tried. They seem to be so very fragile. If you try it let us know what happened. Judie Johnson

I bought six of these chains & used them to hang some pretty, big heavy hanging plants & I had no problem. If I were to guess, I'd say anywhere from 1 to 5 or six pounds should be safe.

I love Gorham's Melon Bud flatware! The weight has always been a key criteria for me. Have never in my 25+ years of using Melon Bud had it fall off of a plate.

Hello!they are not to heavy in my opinion and i'm really weak lol. They are definitely good quality and they aren't too light to feel cheap but not too heavy that is hard to manipulate them while cooking or doing dishes. I hope it helps!

Sorry, I gave these as a gift and haven't gotten any feedback. If I hear anything, I'll post it. Happy crocking!
