Will these hold 6 moving sized boxes with paperback books (two on each shelf)?

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.

Depends on the box dimensions and weight, but in general I would say no. They are sturdy for things of moderate weight, but books could be too taxing. The shelves are also not high or wide enough for what I would consider moving boxes.

If your moving boxes are also called 'banker boxes' (10" x 12" x 15") then yes, the Whitmore will handle the boxes. Might be top heavy if a toddler or large dog ran into the stack. We are very pleased with ours.

I would say no, the shelves are slanted and not very far apart. Suitable for shoes, I would not think it would be a good way to store shoes in their boxes however.

I don't know that i would use them to hold textbooks sized but maybe paperback novels. I haven't put a whole lot of weight on mine since i use them at artist alley. The times i have used it for heavier storage it has not batted a eyelash though. As long as you don't weight it with 30 math books you should be alright.

I am sure it would depend on how many books are on top of the bottom one. If you have a hardcover, then put it on the bottom and pile your paperbacks on top. This is a great item! Very strong!

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.

It depends on how big the book is, I have some thick and thin paperbacks and the same with the harder books. However my paperback are lighter and I can put more of them on a shelf that can not hold as much weight. I have about 30 paperbacks on the third shelf from the bottom and 18 hardback on the bottom shelf. My other shelves are a mixture.

Possibly but not all the same shelf . You would have move them when you are ready to use them. They could not be " ready for use"

I wouldn't put many (and just at the bottom. They would have to be the small books as well - DVD size. I love these shelves for my movies. They hold 50-55 (average) DVD / BluRays. I hope this helps.

It will depend on the thickness of the books. I have 33 mixed hard and soft cover books on one shelf.

You will have to bend them open more to make them fit. I have mine on a 5/8" shelf and they're tight. I like that because it holds stuff in place really well even when I pack sheets on either side of it. They are durable so you can bend them open more for a larger shelf, however it wouldn't fit without doing that.

They will hold books. Our shelf was the standard thickness 3/4" and they fit tightly on there so they are pretty sturdy. We were pleasantly surprised with them and ordered more for our other closets. Hope this info helps!

Ummm, I'm going to say yes. Maybe not side by side perfectly and tidy... Depending on what you're going for, and the size, you could probably fit three in randomly. I use mine for kids books. They're a little flimsier than the thick iron ones you'd see at Lowes or Home Depot. But it does the job for the price! :)

It will fit them for sure on the bottom shelf, I also would be less concerned about their weight. I suspect they would fit in the top shelf, but getting them in might be tricky, there is a decorative curved piece. Not sure about the weight there. I have quite a few books on the top shelf and it had caused no issue.

If you put them toe-in you could maybe fit 2 pair per shelf, but only if you have a size 6 or smaller--they are going to stick out too far otherwise.
