I have a lot of plants, decoration type items on mine...it is quite sturdy..as far as lbs go, not sure but the shelves are very sturdy! I love mine and have it on our covered deck!

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.

The unit is well built. The description would lead you to believe it can handle 200 lbs for 2 of the shelves and 65 lbs for the third. I don't think I would trust the wheels and structure to support 465 lbs total. I would be leery exceeding 250 lbs total. If nothing else, it may become top-heavy and be unstable.

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

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)

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...

Hmmm... 50lbs of weight on one shelf... that may be pushing it? I'd say about 25-30lbs max on each shelf.... Sorry!

I used 2 of these brackets, screwed into studs, with a 36 inch long 1x8 for the shelf. As configured, the shelf supports a variety of laundry detergents and supplies which weigh, in all, about 10 pounds. I would not use it to support anything that weighed more than 20 pounds. The brackets are well worth the money I paid for them. I wish I could send you a photo, but I don't know how.

The shelves are constructed from a thin, strong plastic material. The thickness shown in the picture is a facade with supporting 3" cross-hatch behind the facade / under the solid top of shelf. If you turn any of the shelf items over, you would see compartments of about 3" square where the supports cross. This makes them very light, but very strong. I have used the shelves to hold 75 lbs on a single shelf. The only hazard is balance. Each shelf has two holes in the back where you can anchor it to drywall to maintain upright balance. -Kevin

I don't think there's a single answer to this. It depends on how much wider the shelf is than the bracket. The brackets are quite strong. For an 8 - 10 inch wide shelf, I would guess that each bracket can support 50 pounds or possibly more.

I would say the top shelf would support at least fifty pounds. We used the top shelf as a bar. Ten to fifteen wine and liquor bottles plus ice. The second and third shelves would probably support at least as much.

I'm not sure. An entire unit definitely holds 200 lbs. I'm not sure about individual shelves.

I believe it is 40 lbs. The shelves are quite thick and substancial. Ours is packed end to end with no sagging.

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.

I am not sure of the weight limit of the shelves but I would not put too much weight on it. I am putting small lightweight items on it. I wouldn't put anything too precious on it because if it gets bumped it will knock it over as it must be situated where it leans perfectly against the wall.

The brackets are pretty heavy duty and can support not only a sturdy shelf but also items on top if it. As long as you can get the screws secured, preferably into studs, they'll hold quite a bit of weight (like books).

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.
