Are the shelves rated? How much weight can each hold safely?

I kon't remember if they are rated or not but they are very sturdy and I have baskets on the first shelves with kitchen utenciles inthem and I have baking dishes on the bottom. The piece is beautiful and is of very high quality. I just love it.

I think they are really good shelfs but, I wouldn't load them that heavy for several reasons. I would never load anything at the maximum load. It is just asking for trouble. I always like to give myself a little safety factor in case somethind strange occurs. It very well may hold 350 lbs per shelf but why press your luck. If you want a shelf to hold that much you should buy a commercial shelving unit.

The weight capacity of the unit is 600 lbs, so depending on how many shelves you have installed you can estimate the capacity. I can tell you that I have two of these units in my garage and have never had a problem with sagging shelves or overweight issues. I use for automotive and household supplies, paint cans, etc. keeping heavier cans on lower shelves. I find them very useful storage units and like that I can lock up spray cans with harmful chemicals and keep away from children.

Mine holds a large assortment of dishes in the spare closet. I'm sure one of the shelves is holding around 50lbs with no issues. It's screwed directly into the studs, where it can be and the others are toggle bolts, I've had no issues. I would not attempt 100 lbs on this shelving unless every single support was screwed into a stud. (and then I'd still be leery)

Maybe 5lbs each shelf? It depends what you're putting on them because they will lean forward or back if something is too close to the front or back...

I agree with Darrell B. If they are mounted securely they would hold. It would also depend where the main point of the weight was placed and how long your shelf is. A normal shelf with a regular weight spread would cause no problems.

It's pretty sturdy, but I think each shelf's weight limit is 10 pounds. I wouldn't try a TV on it.

I am using my shelves indoors right now, and while they are not exactly classy, they are very sturdy and hold a lot of thing as with no problems at all. They are an excellent product for the price. Hope this helps.

Those shelves are quite thick and extremely strong. I woudn't worry much unless you intend on keeping your barbells on it.

Hello, This can hold up to 1,000 lbs. per shelf (evenly distributed). The shelf do lock into place with the clips for the shelving. Thanks

It's pretty sturdy overall, especially given the price. My shelves show zero signs of sagging, even though they're loaded to capacity. Hope this helps.

Not sure of the specifications, but these are heavy gauge shelves. As long as the brackets are securely fastened they should be able to easiy handle 15 - 20 lbs.

Not sure of exact weight it can hold but these shelves are very sturdy & made of heavy wood so im sure it can hold quite a bit.

Hi Carol, The items shelves are only meant to hold around 30-40 lbs. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Manhattan Lane Support Team

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!

There are 5 shelves and all are full of dvds. Not sure of the weight, but I used the leftover shelf to have the cabinet lean back slightly so there was no concern about it tipping over. Hope this helps.

Can't say exactly, didn't try to fully load them. But the wood and method of attaching the shelves to the uprights leads me to believe that this shelf system is significantly inferior and more light weight in comparison to another set I've bought elsewhere (appears nearly identical, but with substantially better hardware, wood and finish). Hope this helps.
