I read the weight limit on bottom shelves is 30lbs? I have a older & very heavy Hafler Amp..anyone put a heavy componet on bottom?

Depends just how heavy your component is...cabinet is sturdy but why take the chance.If it were me, I'd break down and buy a new component (which will probably give betterquality besides!)

No, but because it is so close to the floor, you could block it up with wood shims and they would likely be hidden.

Its sturdy ,you can add a block of wood underneath for support. Place in the center should not be visible.

On the last page of the instruction booklet it tells you the maximum weight for each shelf......20 pounds for the top three shelves and 35 pounds for the bottom shelf!DUHHHHH ! KEEP THE PAPERWORK!!

like any item you have a max. my speakers weigh about 18lbs and all is good with the stands.

I currently am using a pair of Harbinger APS15 with them right now. They weigh about 46lbs each and the stands seem to hold them quite well. Given the leg spread of the stands, there is no rocking or lack of support. I would think they could hold more, but I have not tested or tried anything heavier than those currently.

Top of unit up to 40 lbs. Two Adjustable shelves up to 30 lbs each. The bottom fixed shelf up to 30 lbs. The bottom drawer up to 20 lbs. This came from Sauder on another site.

My Polk TSi100's are much lighter at ~10lbs. The stands are very sturdy - column and speaker plate are metal - and will easily hold 20lbs or more. That said, unless the base is set on a hard, flat surface I would be concerned with them being a little top-heavy at 20lbs. If there are pets or kids in the area there is a real possibility that they could tip over if they were run into.

I'm using the shelf on a lg 47 in LED tv supporting my Klipsch RC3 that weights 29 lbs and doesn't have any issues. Go for it!

Probably not much more than about 5-7 lbs per shelf, depending on weight distribution. The shelves are very thin (less than 1/2 an inch). The very bottom shelf that is flush w the top of the doors is a little bit thicker, and could hold a bit more. So, if you broke up the 25 lbs over the 3 shelves, you could probably fit them all, but definitely put most of the weight on the bottom..

I put all the heavy stuff on bottom shelf. I would not put anything heavier than 25lbs. on the other shelves.

I have gardening items on the bottom, next 2-3 shelves are paper goods and some toys. Odds and ends on top two. I honestly think I only have 50 lbs or so on it and there is no problem...... Any other weight I would definitely toggle the shelving to the wall in some way.

I think so. The base on these stands is quite wide. You might want to strap the speaker to the stand though. I have a pair of M-Audio BX5's on mine. These stands are big enough that they are complete overkill for my application. I don't think there would be any problem with these stands supporting 35lbs.

I've got a big sony str 935 @23lbs on the very top, no problem. the internal shelves are held up by pins, I wouldn't trust it there. They are fine for dvd players and tv receiver,

It holds, and continues to hold, our 3 lb speakers. I would be hesitant to say it can hold an 8 lb speaker. That seems like a lot of weight for this piece. I think it would also depend on the rest of the set up, as the other answers have stated. That being said, I think anything under 5 lbs (possibly 4 lbs) this is a great piece.

Danny, the lower shelf is not very well supported in the middle. If you add a few small wooden blocks under the shelf, it will support your 220 lb gear. I did the same. The blocks are not easily visible unless you put your nose to floor and peek. I wouldn't advice putting it on the middle shelf or on the top. Cheers!

Upper rack has a max weight limit of 75 lbs and bottom shelf max of 25 lbs. Great quality. Would definitely recommend this item.

I've got tons of books and trinkets on mine... But don't do anything over 30 or 40 pounds on each shelf. The shelves are made of glass :/

I use yamaha hs5's that way 12 lbs each and the stand holds them fine. If you have bigger speakers, they might not fit because the mount on top is very small. Also, there's no locking mechanism with the height adjustment. It's just a screw that wedges itself into a plastic/rubbery support, which might not do well with heavier weights. Long story short, if your speakers are smaller than 8" the stands are perfect.
