How much weight can it hold? Can I use it as a shelf?

it cant hold anything and no you can not use it as a shelf. It rolls back to a tube and you pull it out to cover the back of your jeep.

I would not think it should be load-bearing at all... it is just fabric to cover/hide what is in the back. It pulls out and retracts like the old-style window blinds or an old-style projector screen.

Does not hold anything. It's suppose to cover the back. for example if you have you laptop at the back people can't see it

Its soft in the middle, I wouldnt use it as a shelf unless its towels or blankets

No you cannot use it as shelf. Is basically just a piece of faux leather to cover the trunk.

If you used some additional hardware you should be able to, but it would likely GREATLY reduce the amount of weight each shelf could support. If you wanted to support light weight stuff like stuffed animals or a few sweaters should be fine.

They are sturdy but I don't know how much weight you could put on them. I have pictures and knickknacks which aren't that heavy. It is a nice shelf. I like it a lot.

I am not sure if the top shelf would handle the weight of it? I know the bottom shelf would be ok but I am not sure on the weight limit on the top shelf.

It will probably hold the weight. The problem I had was the verticle supports aren't wide enough to fit my receiver between and also not deep enough to lift the top and fit it down from the top. Shelves aren't adjustable up and down either they are fixed.

The unit is sturdier than it looks, but I would limit the weight on the shelf behind the double door to 50 pounds. The base shelf has more support and could handle at least 100 pounds.

They are pretty sturdy, you can easily do 10-15 pounds per shelf. It is 3/4" composite board material so it's going to hold a full load of books if you needed.

This shelf is pretty sturdy, so I would say yes. I use it to store all my textbooks (which can get pretty heavy).

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

Technically yes,but shelf will be very wobbly. You need two shelves to make it stable.

I can't give you a precise answer as to how much weight each shelf can support, however I can tell you that we use our cabinet to store household appliances, such as, a kitchenaid food processor, crock pot (lrg), etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting more than 30 lbs per shelf.

You could use it as a shoe shelf, but in my opinion that would be overkill. This unit looks beautiful lined with books and knick-knacks. Used for shoes would downgrade the innate beauty of the unit. Find something else!

I am not sure of the weight limit of the shelves but I would not put too much weight on it. I am putting small lightweight items on it. I wouldn't put anything too precious on it because if it gets bumped it will knock it over as it must be situated where it leans perfectly against the wall.

Good question - maybe? It's pretty heavy. I suppose if you have the right hardware to fix it to the wall it would work. The back of the shelf where it appears to be a "solid" backing, is just a heavier piece of cardboard though. So you'd have to attach it to the wall using the frame. I don't think that would be very sturdy -- especially once you actually put things *on* the shelf.

At least 20-30 lbs for each shelf, I'd guess. I use mine as a liquor rack, and all the shelves are full. So it holds a good chunk of weight.

Yes. It would be sturdy enough to use as a bookshelf. The space between the shelves is just about 12". Hope that helps.

It all depends. The shelves are fairly thick and I would say that you would be safe with 25-30 lbs evenly distributed across the whole shelf. It may hold more, but remember you are dealing with particle board material and it may sag eventually.
