Are these shelves spring loaded? Meaning, is there some torque that would hold them to side walls?

No they are not spring loaded. They must be anchored into side wall and center support is attached to back wall. You may call me with any other questions or design advice

No they are not spring loaded. The shelves are held up by a single center bracket, and they wobble back and forth when you hang clothes on them

Not likely, but I wouldn't put anything on the top. More likely the shelves will bend under weight. I would put shims under the front bottom if it leans forward from the wall.

No, I do not recommend this at all. These are heavy duty shelves designed to hold much more weight than what can be supported by drywall only.

I am not sure what you are considering placing on these shelves so it is difficult to assess your exact needs...if i knew your weight requirements then I could make a better assessment. I have only used them for shoes...but they are well constructed and sturdy. They feel like they could hold considerable weight without bowing or bending.

I would not suggest heavy items. Shelves are only anchored into one side plus they are not solid wood..they are hollow and light weighr

The lower two shelves could hold that. I wouldn't put more than 50lbs or so on these though, unless you anchor it to the wall somehow.

Yes, and you can manipulate shelves to suit your needs. SUPER sturdy. Shelves can handle any weight!!!

The shelves are particle board. They seem pretty stable. They are included.

They don't appear to be. I have mine in a bottom mounted configuration, and there is some flexing of the casing with only a few pounds of load. I suspect they wouldn't hold nearly the rated weight without problems that way.

yes they do, and they come with screws.... these are very nice shelves and not whimpy at all. I was pleasantly surprised at the weight and the quality.

These can be easily mounted on a wall provided you use proper support. Cut some 3/4 inch 4-5 inch triangular supports that will attach to the inside corners of the outside walls where the shelves meet the wall, use 4 for this unit, two on each side. Mount the triangles to the wall, using HD spring loaded drywall anchors or if you can wall studs. Even so, respect how you load up the assembly, my limit is about 15 pounds.

No, they are not spring loaded. Would be helpful if they were. Mine are still a bit too stiff for me.

No. Sorry. The shelves are stationary. They are welded in place, which makes the unit sturdy, but not flexible.

I have three of these units. While the rating is 150 lbs. for each shelf, I have one of the units with at least 150 lbs. on each shelf...accept the top. There is easily 500 -600 lbs. on the five shelf unit. It is that well engineered. However, I don't know what kind of a side load the unit would take if pushed on, and don't really care to find out. If you are in an earthquake area i would definitely anchor it to a wall if completely loaded.

I don't know for sure but they so seem pretty sturdy. I don't think I would load every shelf with hard bound books. But spreading the weight over several shelves and putting lighter weight items in between, would probably work great.

Yes they are. When you assemble the shelves,you have the option to attach the wheels or not.

Yes they are. There are holes and pegs you can use to adjust the shelves up and down.
