How much weight can each shelf support?

I can't answer this question directly. All I can say is that I have completely filled two bookcases with books, many of them heavier hardbacks, and have had no problems. I did put some shims under the front of the bookcases to prevent any possible leaning forward but that was a precaution - don't know if it was really necessary or not.

The assembly manual says it is rated to carry 50 lbs on the bottom shelf, 30 lbs on the second-bottom shelf, 40 lbs on the third-bottom shelf (the one which marks the division in the bookcase), and 30 lbs on the remaining two shelves above it. The very top is not rated to carry any load, though in my experience you can at least set a few small, lightweight things on top with no issues.

Fill it with books and it will hold the weight. It is fit for its intended purpose.

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.

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.

I don't think there's a single answer to this. It depends on how much wider the shelf is than the bracket. The brackets are quite strong. For an 8 - 10 inch wide shelf, I would guess that each bracket can support 50 pounds or possibly more.

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.

The shelves are 7 3/4" wide and 24" long. I don't know about how much weight they can hold, but they seem quite sturdy.

From the manufacturer's website (http://southshore.ca/en/products/5-shelf-bookcase-6): The fixed shelves can support a weight up to 25 pounds, and the adustable shelves, 15 pounds.

I have this shelf in my kitchen with cooking, gardening, and nutritional books which weight more than 10 lbs. per shelf. I believe it will be OK.

I'm not exactly sure what the weight for each shelf would be. I found a stud in the wall to hold the shelf which is better support. I use my shelf for my scrap booking ribbon rolls. It's held up great! I think potatoes would be a little heavy depending on how many. If your going to use potatoes, I would look for the stud in the wall for better support. Just becareful when deciding, potatoes may be a little heavy for the shelf. I hope my answer helps you.

I don't know the exact weight allowance for each shelf. I have stacks of folded fabric in rows on each shelf, and shelves seem to be sturdy. It would depend upon what you are putting on the shelves.

This will easily hold 40 pounds and more (Up to 100). You need to make sure to locate a wooden 2X4 and secure the shelf with either the screws provided or longer lag screws that you can get from the hardware store.

Yes, I have a shelf on my brackets. They will support about 8 pounds or so.

Not sure what their exact limit is but I would not put more than a couple of pounds on each shelf. As I stated in my review the side rail broke while we we assembling it. I am still waiting to hear back from the company...guess its a good thing I didn't hold my breath!

We must have over 50 pounds per shelf. Not sure what they are rated for though. We do love them though.

I don't think there is a weight limit. This is a rugged hanger especially when anchored the correct way. The shelf can be used for storage.....I use it for my lids.

I have 2 sets of China and curios in it. Not exactly sure how much weight each shelf can hold.

I believe that the instructions said that the shelves will hold up to 40 pounds. They appear to be quite sturdy and I would not be concerned about storing ordinary items on them. I have books, Lladros, brass statues, etc and they do not bow at all. The backing is pretty flimsy as I said in my full review but it actually is a good unit for the price.
