How much weight does one shelf hold?

I have no idea how much each shelf can hold, but we're using our cabinet as a pantry - canned goods, cleaning sprays, etc. There has been no bowing of the shelves, but so far they're not completely full. We're very pleased with the storage unit and feel it's well-built and appears sturdy.

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.

Not an easy question to answer, since we use ours mostly for towels, bed linens and bathroom items. But any wood or composite shelving will eventually bow if you store heavy items on it, unless it's properly braced. If you plan to store canned goods, let's say, I'd recommend that you purchase steel shelving that's designed to handle the weight.

Don't know the exact weight but you should be alright in my opinion. They are very small shelfs so you biggest problem will be fitting them on there. Again I do NOT know the exact weight limit.

The specs say each shelf can hold up to 75 lbs. I have had canned goods on them...the shelves held, but they sagged a little in the middle under the weight of all those cans. For the shelves where the weight was far less than 50+ pounds, there was no sag at all. I use them in the pantry and for utility shelves, and I love them.

I would think so, though of course it depends on how many you plan to put one shelf. It is a pretty sturdy unit.

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.

About 30-40 lbs per shelf. We have books from one end to the other without any problem.

The shelves themselves can hold quite a bit. The prescribed method of attaching to the top of the frame will not support what the shelves can hold. Short answer? 7 lbs or so, maybe.

The shelves would definitely not hold 25 lbs. I have light items like cosmetics on mine (I have it in a bathroom). I love the shelf unit, but it isn't sturdy in that way.

There is no way these shelves would support that much weight. It's a clothing system and as such likely designed for about 1/10 those numbers.

How much weight can each shelf hold? I bought a cheap wood one two years ago and the shelves have got to the point it looks bent. I need something that will hold at least 40 pounds for each shelf since there is five all together. Is it flimsily? I need something that is strong and that won't bend.

They're pretty sturdy shelves, as is the entire unit. The weight limit per shelf, from top shelf to bottom is: 25 lbs, 25 lbs, 35 lbs, 25 lbs, and 40 lbs.

It's pretty sturdy. I think I have 10 or 15 pounds at least on each shelf. I put the heaviest items on the bottom shelf. If you put a lot of weight on the shelves, I think it would be wise to install the wall anchor that came with your unit. I have not anchored mine, but the weight does not seem to cause the unit to be shaky or unbalanced. I think this unit is a good buy, especially at the price.

The shelves are very sturdy , I feel they would hold a set of encyclopedias...I do not know the weight limit on them

The description says each shelf has a 350 pound capacity. It should handle it. I am getting one to use as a makeshift bookcase in a closet.

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

Walker Edison's spec states the stand can hold 175 lbs(http://www.walkeredison.com/V35MWFES.html). No spec on how much each shelf can hold. I have a receiver that weight 30-40 lbs on one of the shelves.

Terri, these shelves easily hold over 200 lbs dispersed across them - the limiting factor for weight is wheels breaking up due to total unit loading.
