I deal with files/folders at work, not books. Is this sturdy enough to support flimsy file folders?

Yes as long as it it isn't something that won't stand up by itself like a single sheet of paper. If it is that flimsy, put something thicker behind it. Hope this helped. Lee R

Just tested this--it holds folders fine, but if there are loose papers inside, they won't be supported, and they'll fall inward. If you have a lot of loose papers, I'd recommend something that gives support all along the bottom (like a clear acrylic version).

I use this drive as a storage site for my workstation, I haven't carried it anywhere other than my office. From what it looks like, it seems pretty robust, so I would assume it could withstand shocks, but that's just my opinion.

I use it only for DVD's but it is pretty sturdy and would probably be fine for smaller books.

I use it in my office and it works great and holds a file box and other heavy office equipment. It hasn't failed yet. I'm sure it will hold up in a kids playroom. My sons use it for their desktop. As long as you anchor it properly to the wall it should be fine.

I don't know for sure but they so seem pretty sturdy. I don't think I would load every shelf with hard bound books. But spreading the weight over several shelves and putting lighter weight items in between, would probably work great.

I think the roll out portion of the desk seems sturdy enough to use a laptop or books. I have numerous things including a printer on the top. The roll out portion has it's own legs for support.

These shelves are holding a combination of books and miscellaneous papers/files, spread out pretty evenly. I would guess that if you distribute the weight evenly you'll be okay.

I use it to store books in a instructional manuals in a file cabinet that I don't use for that purpose. I think the problem wouldn't be whether it was strong enough to hold the construction paper (from my experience with this item it will be no problem at all) The only problem might be with the paper getting a bend in it if it's not packed in fairly tightly.

The bottom of each file drawer is strong but still made of press wood. I would be careful how much weight I placed on the bottoms. Knick knacks may be too heavy.

I agree with the other responses. I have a full shelf of books on the bottom, the other 2 shelves each 1/2 full of books, and a large book of Kells on the top. It is sturdy, but is likely to wobble from the printer movement. At most I would recommend a small printer, preferably on the lower shelves.

Yes, it would probably be fine. I have some books and things, but not too heavy. My biggest problem with the unit is that it kind of sways from side to side. The doors didn't fit well, so I have some shims underneath one side to stablize. They are hidden, but without them, the doors are not aligned. Hope this helps!

Yes, very sturdy as far as weight of most tablets and readers. Especially if you are using a 'paperweight' e-reader.

Not really. I use it mainly for arts and craft supplys. I neatly stack things on top of each other and roll it where I have to go. To use it just for files, you could get a filing hanger out of and old filing cabinet and cut it to the right deminition and install it inside of carrier. A lot of work. I would say NO.

No, the drawers will not hold file folders. The desk itself is much smaller than I thought. I hit my knees all the time and I'm average height.

It's pretty sturdy...not flimsy at all. I don't know exactly how much weight, but we've put a desktop computer on it plus tons of books with no bend or bowing of any kind. This is easily the most sturdy work desk I've ever owned.

Yes. I keep heavy files in them and they do just fine. It is well made and sturdy. I would keep the heavier items in the bottom drawer to keep it from being top heavy.

Yes very sturdy. I'm using it to hold very heavy books. This is a great product and looks as advertised
