What is the max. load per shelf?

I have shoes on these shelves. I guess it would depend on how you have the unit attached, to walls or free standing units . Im sure they could hold more than 50 lbs easily.

I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood. I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these.

Weight should not be a problem-- check measurements for width of shelf to see if appliance are too large.

I would guess about 15-20 lbs. I use mine for dvd's and VHS tapes and each shelf is loaded. My only issue was because I used it for that it didn't hold as many as I hoped.

No weight load was indicated in instructions. But when using the shelves in the fully expanded or half expanded width, there is no support on the extended edge. It will sag under the weight of anything heavy. Instructions suggest heavy items be placed in the center of the shelf.

The booklet said it could support 50 pounds per shelf. As an added precaution we placed a 1x2 firing strip on the wall then rested the bottom of the cabinet on top of it so that the firing strip acted as bottom support for the cabinet. We have used ours now for about 4 months and am quite pleased with the cabinet.

I have three of these shelves -- two I have had for several years and one is new. I agree with that Rich and Andrea that 30 pounds or so would be a safe limit. I know they may not look it or sound it when you read about what they are made of and such, but I have found them to be very sturdy shelves that really can hold a lot and which I think look quite nice, especially when you consider the low price. I use them in my home office and at times have really loaded the some of the shelves down with books, papers and such, and mine have stayed strong and continue to look just as good as the day I bought them. Hope this helps Itzell...

I am not sure what is recommended, but I have my large shelf (16" deep) open to its widest capacity and the shelf is literally filled with cans of food, both large and small. I know it is heavy but I've not seen any problems with it.

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

Thank you for your inquiry on the Howard Miller Berends curio cabinet. Although Howard Miller does not specifically state a maximum shelf weight for their curios, they do state in the curio instructions included with each crio that heavy loads must be distributed and should not exceed 25 pounds, and that "good judgment" should be used when placing objects on the shelves. I hope this answers your question. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Regards, Barbara WeatherBuffs (928) 635-1088

Not sure but the unit weights about I would say no more than 75 lbs per shelf. If you put too much weight on any shelf they will start to bow. I would go with what the paper that came with the unit. The 250 would be total weight . Put the heavier things on the bottom of the rack. I hope this will help you.

Not sure what the limit is. I've got about 40 pounds (Santevia water filter) on the top shelf.

Well, obviously all 65 books wont fit on one shelf so I think you should be fine with the weight. I have 3-ring binders packed full of papers lining one shelf (there must be 18 or so binders on one shelf) and by themselves they are quiet heavy. I havent seen any trouble yet with the weight. Just to be safe though, I would start with the bottom shelf and load moving up. Good luck.

From the BeautifulViews website: "How how much weight can each shelf hold and what is the total weight that I can safely place upon the unit?As you might expect, this is a frequently asked question concerning our hanging shelf units, and rightly so because it is a very important topic for the consumer.My recommendation:No more than 12 pounds per shelf, not to exceed more than 45 pounds total per hanging unit. Forty five pounds is very heavy, I generally keep my shelf loads between 30 and 40 pounds, even though, as I'll show you later on, they will easily support much more weight.

I'm not at all qualified to answer this question at all, and cannot be held responsible for incorrect information. My somewhat educated guess is that as long as it's distributed evenly across the shelf and not at a single point, it should be fine.

For the 60" it is stated on the manual as 80 per shelf for the lower two shelves and 150 lbs maximum for the top shelf.
