I definitely would NOT say this is sturdy....The entire case is very wobbley if I try to move it, the shelves feel like they are going to come apart and the back is a piece of thick cardboad which is cheaply made..It feeds its purpose for a book shelf for kids but Its not something that I could see lasting very long....

The shelves are quite study. I have them loaded with books -packed vertically and then some more horizontally on top of the vertical books.

Not sure of exact weight, but my shelves are already curving under the weight. Look for another bookcase if you want sturdy.

I don't know how much weight I only have books and knick knacks on it in my daughter's room - it is a sturdy shelf in my opnion

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.

I'm using it in my laundry room and don't have a lot of weight on the shelves but they are sturdy. I think they should support 150 lbs each especially if the weight is fairly evenly spread

They are sturdy but I don't know how much weight you could put on them. I have pictures and knickknacks which aren't that heavy. It is a nice shelf. I like it a lot.

All the lower (very bottom) shelves can hold about 50 pounds. the very top shelves can hold about 25 pounds and the middle shelves (the more sturdier part of the shelves) can hold about 40 pounds..hope this helps!

I'm not sure how much weight they will take but they seem pretty sturdy. I'm thinking a couple of pots would hold. I use it for untencils and oven mitts, etc. The bar is attached like the shelving by shelving lock clips. You don't have to take apart the shelf as the bar part that clips onto the shelving doesn't go all the way around the shelving bar. Does that make sense? Wish I could post a pic for you.

I really can't answer that. These shelves are in my utility room and I use the top for folding clothes and the shelves underneath for storing laundry detergent and cleaning supplies, so there isn't much weight on them.

They're pretty stable, the number of shelves shouldn't compromise it's stability I'd think. They would be good for outside use, depending on where it would be you may need to weigh it down at the base though.

Based on my experience, it depends on how they're anchored. If they're screwed Into studs, their only limit is the strength of the glass shelving. I replaced the plastic expansion sleeves that were provided, they had a bit of wobble, with much stonger metal molly bolts, and now all 7 shelves are rock solid. I'm entrusting them with $2,000 worth of vibrating surround sound speakers.

I haven't had any trouble with them bending, and I have every shelf full, some with heavy items. I'd say they are pretty sturdy.

I use mine for kitchen appliance storage and have had no issues, I'd say they are good for 100 or so pounds per shelf. Hope this helps, it really is a very good and strong shelving unit for the $$$.

The shelves are 7 3/4" wide and 24" long. I don't know about how much weight they can hold, but they seem quite sturdy.

I found somewhere the hinges that your looking to buy would hold 250 lbs. I built my bookshelf out of 1x6 spruce lumber but I'm only using mine for DVDs. But honestly the hinges are heavy duty enough for close to anything. I changed the design of mine to accommodate them to work better for my application.

I believe the shelves are rated at something like 100lbs each. I don't have nearly that much on it but I do have a lot and it is very very sturdy. Doesn't bend under the weight of a kitchenaid mixer and my rice cooker.

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

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.

I have approx. 15-20 lbs per shelf. I would suggest tho - using 2 wall mounts instead of just the one in the package. I have it sitting on carpet with a floor molding, so the shelf cannot stand completely straight. I used just the one & it eventually pulled from the wall. Overall I really like the shelves - I purchased 2 and would purchase again, if I needed another.
