what is the weight limit per shelf? Is it a heavy particle wood or real wood? Would you buy this again? Is it worth the price? thanks!

I have no idea what the weight limit is, but have incredibly heavy dishes - and lots of them on each shelf! Absolutely no particle board! I would buy it again and again and again - it honestly looks like a piece of furniture you'd buy in an upscale furniture store. No one believes I bought this piece on line!

Mostly solid, I believe. Shelves are probably composite. I think it's very nice, particularly for the price. Took almost 2 hours to assemble. We have some expensive furniture and my wife's not complaining. (Of course, it's in my game room, not our living room.)

They're pretty sturdy shelves, as is the entire unit. The weight limit per shelf, from top shelf to bottom is: 25 lbs, 25 lbs, 35 lbs, 25 lbs, and 40 lbs.

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!

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.

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.

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

No where in the paperwork does it state a weight limit. It is solid wood and put together well, all I can say is to try it. Buy it from someone with a return guarantee.

I just use it as a shelf in the laundry room so probably have never had more than 30 pounds on mine. I've got three brackets on a 48" shelf. Seems sturdy enough, but I doubt I'd put 150 pounds on it.

I figure it was about 35-45 lbs. Remember it can hold up to 350lbs per shelf!! Its worth the effort.

No particle board, it's made from real wood. I think the shelves are plywood. Very nice piece overall but the finish is a little rough

Can't be hung on the wall as the sides are double sticky taped together. I don't think they have a weight limit on it but I weight 160 lbs. and I can stand on top of it as it sets in the picture. You can't stand it on end as a book shelf either. It will only hold weight as it sets in the picture on top of a desk or something.

I believe it's cedar. I'm not great at identifying wood types but it looks like and has that cedar smell. It's not a super heavy duty shelf but it more than fits my needs and I haven't had any problems with it. It stays on our side porch and looks nice.

It is not solid wood, and I do believe it is a type of particle board because it is not very heavy. I do love this piece of furniture and it looks much nicer in person. I use it as a liquor cabinet. Hope this helps!

The unit appears to be solid wood. Maybe I got lucky, but I'm really happy with this shelf. I have mine loaded up with all kinds of stuff, including a 10lb Alienware laptop. No signs of sagging or fatigue. If you read my review, I mention the only quality issue I found.

It's very sturdy and able to hold a decent amount of weight. I'm almost 170 lbs and can sit on the top (when shelf is horizontal) with any feeling of wobble or give. You'd want to mount the shelf to a wall if you put anything heavy on top.

The shelves are wood, or hard plywood that looks like wood with wood grain. Although I think they are real wood. If you order this, chances are you'll be very happy with it. It's also very stable. Hope this helps.
