how much weight can the top shelf support?

I don't know the exact weight but each self can definitely hold a full size printer. I have an HP4250 on the bottom shelf and a Lexmark 7500 series all in one (printer-scanner-fax) on the top shelf and there is no problem with weight. I am only using two shelves because with three I wouldn't have room to access the top of the HP printer for paper feeder and retrieval. This is definitely worth the money.

I don't have a precise answer, as I haven't tested the boundaries. but it is extremely sturdy, rolls easily when the wheel-locks are off. It supports my 24 lb. HP Photosmart on the top shelf and is also loaded with reams over paper and books on the lower shelves. I am extremely pleased.I hope this helps.

I have a HP6500 on top of mine and a full case of paper on the bottom shelf with no problems. It's 4 a printer what r u planning on putting on it?

I can tell you is it will support at least 26lbs. as we have placed a Canon MX922 printer on the top shelf.

the manufacturer says a total of 100lbs total so you do the math. I think that is maxing it out but it will be close

I don't know what the weight limit is. We have currently have three large bottles and two liter bottles on the top shelf of ours and it seems very steady. If you hang glasses, there is only room for bottles on the ends on the top shelf.

The lower two shelves could hold that. I wouldn't put more than 50lbs or so on these though, unless you anchor it to the wall somehow.

This is a glass shelf made for a certain weight. While sturdy I would very much advice anyway to stack it even, that would be a huge risk of someone being hurt if it breaks.

Currently we have stacked on this unit - bottom shelf Pyle receiver ~15 lbs, next shelf up - amplifier ~ 10 lbs, next shelf up approximately 50 vinyl albums ~ 10 lbs, next shelf up - record player ~ 5 lbs, top shelf - 16" computer monitor and stand ~ 7 lbs. If you balance your weight at the bottom of the unit, I believer 35 lbs on top will be ok. However, I do believe there is limit per shelf and a quick call to Whalen or their website should tell you what the weight limit is, I want to say the instructions indicated 50 lbs per shelf is the limit. But I would double check that.

Hi Carol, The items shelves are only meant to hold around 30-40 lbs. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Manhattan Lane Support Team

The assembly manual says it is rated to carry 50 lbs on the bottom shelf, 30 lbs on the second-bottom shelf, 40 lbs on the third-bottom shelf (the one which marks the division in the bookcase), and 30 lbs on the remaining two shelves above it. The very top is not rated to carry any load, though in my experience you can at least set a few small, lightweight things on top with no issues.

The shelves are supposed to support 350 lbs. of weight. The rack itself should support approx. 40 garments easily assuming they're not all winter coats. I hope this helps.

Well, I certainly didn't put that much weight on it, but I'm fairly certain that you would be fine. I would assume that the 150 lbs. would be spread out across the shelf and not just 150 lbs. directly in the middle. Note: The sides are going to be stronger because of the side supports.

Not sure of exact weight it can hold but these shelves are very sturdy & made of heavy wood so im sure it can hold quite a bit.

It's pretty sturdy. I think I have 10 or 15 pounds at least on each shelf. I put the heaviest items on the bottom shelf. If you put a lot of weight on the shelves, I think it would be wise to install the wall anchor that came with your unit. I have not anchored mine, but the weight does not seem to cause the unit to be shaky or unbalanced. I think this unit is a good buy, especially at the price.

Yes, you can. But the resulting construction won't be sturdy enough to hold anything heavier on the top shelf

The very top of the bookcase can hold 35lbs. The bottom of the unit can hold up to 30lbs. The two adjustable shelves can hold 25lbs.

I have three of these units. While the rating is 150 lbs. for each shelf, I have one of the units with at least 150 lbs. on each shelf...accept the top. There is easily 500 -600 lbs. on the five shelf unit. It is that well engineered. However, I don't know what kind of a side load the unit would take if pushed on, and don't really care to find out. If you are in an earthquake area i would definitely anchor it to a wall if completely loaded.

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.

I am not sure how much weight the top or the desk itself can support. I do not want to give you any false info. I do have a laser printer on the bottom shelf without any problem and that is a fair amount of weight. I would suggest that you ask the manufacturer if possible and tell them the PC's weight. Sometimes the manufacturers monitor Amazon customer comments and questions and respond on the product's comments page. Sorry I could not be more helpful.
