Are these sturdy enough to hold an 18 x 18 slate tile on the top while being stood on the side? It will be underwater.

Depends on the thickness of the tile, but I would guess that they won't be. I used these crates right side up to hold 5-6 gallon glass carboys for beer brewing, but that says nothing to their compressive strength in a side-lying position.

I think it could be sturdy enough if they are not more than about 8" tall. Otherwise, they'd probably tip over.

Yes, sturdy enough for sure. Check other Q&As; for measurements to be sure you can at least slide your items in from the side to fit.

Most definitely, these have some weight to them and are super sturdy. They stand without wobbling and should hold up real well as a toothbrush holder

I had some leftover tile from my bathroom floor that was 11.81" square and it fit perfectly in the bottom. I purchased two of these and put a topiary basket in each one and they really look beautiful. This is my second season with them and they hold up really well.

Absolutely not! This is a particle board unit with a cardboard back. It is not designed to hold that sort of weight. Even if this was made of hardwood, the boards are too thin to individually offer the sort of strength you would need. It would be stronger if placed on the floor with the openings facing up, but still not strong enough to hold an aquarium. Heavy steel metal stands are typically used to hold fish tanks and when wood is used, i have seen 2 inch thick boards used (2 x 4's). This would collapse (most likely sideways) at some point under the weight.

I don't think so. I own three of them and they're only sturdy enough to be set onto a hard surface like a table or a shelf. Unless you can position or balance them so they won't wobble.

Absolutely, I am just under 200 pounds and stand on mine all the time. These are just as sturdy as a standard 5 gallon bucket just shorter.

Yes, since the containers are about 8 inches round. I left the walls loose at the bottom, but may need to rethink that when it rains.

Absolutely. Will work great for that. Just be sure to support the weight if you put them in a drop tile ceiling.

I'm with the other commenter. They have been up since December, and have held beautifully. You need to be sure that they are on a flat surface, on the tile, and not on the grout lines. I took them down yesterday, and they were still holding very, very well. There is a locking mechanism that helps them to hold tight. I would be hesitant to glue them, because I would be afraid that the glue might damage the suction cup, and then they would be useless.

I don't know but I have seen tile holders for sale on Amazon which should work well...

No, if you get a chance to see these tiles you'll see that the bottom side is raised up with a bunch of little cylinders (like lego toys) about 3/16 of an inch high. This keeps the bamboo boards off the underlying surface so that water can flow underneath. The squares just snap together, and if you wanted to, you could easily unsnap them and store the tiles for the winter (or using them on another project). I've got them installed on a balcony deck and they have worked great. If you ever see them you will know that they are not made to glue down.

Yes, I think this would be sturdy enough. It is very, very well made and with one at each end I believe they would easily hold 20 lbs. I have a couple of other concerns though. When you open this cookbook stand for use, it is a full 9 inches front to back at the base. Is your mantel 9 inches wide, front to back? Also, will your mantle hold 20 lbs? Good luck. You will love this beautiful stand if the measurements allow for the use of it.

No, they are 11 inches wide so you would be off by an inch. Depth wise you would be fine.

I wouldn't stand on them but I would say it could support 50lbs without a problem. This is a guess since I would never sit on or stand on these. I have it filled (top) and all bins full as well and it holds up good.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I keep large vases of seashells on mine, and some very large shells. The shelves are quite thick!
