How much weight can it hold? I will use it for textbooks that are really thick and heavy.

I have been using it for a laptop computer but put a medium sized dictionary on it. If you put something fairly big and heavy I would say you need it postioned perfectly first. If left in place it should hold a fair amount but if the heavt book is on it and you move it, that may cause it to come apart.

I can't tell exactly the weight it can hold, but so far I have put a few thick novels on the holder with no problem. Why not ask the seller directly?

You might be better off with a desktop lecturn. This stand may not last if you are using it daily for thick and heavy books. But for the DIY handy person, it is possible to reinforce this stand to accomodate big and heavy books. I do not know the maximum weight it can hold. I have a cookbook that weighs 6lbs 5oz and it holds it up just fine.

The heaviest book for which I use this stand is a 1400 plus page, about 5 pound, 11x8.5x2 inch text. I think it could hold more but I don't own a larger book.

Yes it is strong enough to hold books. It is very well made. I have several school yearbooks on my bottom shelf and have not had a problem

I don't use it for that but it is sturdy enough to handle that kind of weight. I don't think you could use it hands free due to the tight binding on books. But I absolutely love mine!

I don't think it would be a problem. I have mine filled with heavy text books; however, I do recommend that you attach the top to the wall to give it additional stability.

I don't use mine for books, but it looks like heavy books would do just fine....

It fits snuggly on my shelf which is 3/4 inch thick. It holds firmly without giving or swaying at all. Although I only use it to separate my stacks of clothing, if it fits snuggly on the shelf, it is strong enough to hold books. There is a small crossbar on the wire that rests on the underside of the shelf, so it doesn't budge. Hope that helps.

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

I'm not sure I understand this question, if your asking if it will hold books it should it seems sturdy enough.

It holds my math textbooks which are quite heavy. I use the second shelf for papers. I love it!

I'm not sure how many pounds per shelf, but my bookcase is loaded with books, some of them very heavy and the shelves are not wavering. Good luck. Faun

I have yet to use it, and have no idea how much weight it will hold. I can say, however, that it's a well-made, sturdy shelf. I'm guessing that it would be able to hold a substantial amount weight.

I reenforced ours. It held the weight pretty well but it tended to lean forwards where we have it placed. It is a very sturdy shelf and will hold plenty enough books. I can upload a picture if you would like to see our shelf full of books.

Mine will hold around 6-8 pounda standard such as books , no problem with music. You can make it hold heavier stuff over 10 pounds by simply applying bees wax to the shaft.

yes, weight from textbooks would cause the shelves to buckle and maybe even bread. It is set up mostly for papers and files.

My two lowest shelves are full of hardbound textbooks and binders full of papers. The next two hold normal sized hardbound books and the top shelf is full of CDs and DVDs. As long as you put the heaviest on the bottom, I don't think you will have any problems. The whole unit might be light when empty, but it can really hold a lot without sagging.

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.
