How much weight do the shelves hold? EDIT: Ordered.. We'll see if the bottom shelf can hold up to a 72lb amp...

We put a 12" x 12" wicker basket on the bottom shelf, a DirecTV box on the third shelf, a BluRay player on the 2nd shelf, and two 4x6 picture frames on the top shelf. This setup looks very clean with not a whole lot of clutter. I don't think it could hold a 72lb amp - the shelves are sturdy, but not built for a bunch of weight.

Walker Edison's spec states the stand can hold 175 lbs(http://www.walkeredison.com/V35MWFES.html). No spec on how much each shelf can hold. I have a receiver that weight 30-40 lbs on one of the shelves.

The shelves can hold a couple of components each, unless they are tall components like a big amplifier.

I returned this item as it I'd not fit in the space I needed it to fit. It was assembled and certainly would hold cable equipment, DVD player or other component. For me it was larger than anticipated.

The shelves are thick glass, sturdy!!! The hinges hold them good to the back and front two legs of the stand. So, you can put as much as you want.

Hi - Yes, we currently have our dvd player, cable box, dvds, fish tank. and books on the shelving. The bottom shelf should have no problem at all holding a 72lb amp at all. Hope this helps!

How much what? Like weight? I can't find specs for weight, but it is pretty sturdy. I bet you could get away with 40lbs on a shelf, maybe more. My Yamaha receiver is pretty heavy and it does just fine.

The construction is sturdy, just put the heaviest components on the bottom shelves to be safe. Its a well built stand and doesn't take up much room. I went with this one since i have a small living room.

I use them with Peavey SP5G's and they are rock solid. My speakers are listed at 72 pounds. They are attached to garage walls studs with lag bolts

They're really pretty sturdy, I don't think the weight would be an issue. You can check the dimensions of the shelves under product details to see if those will fit.

Hi Brenda - I don't know what the official limit is but I can tell you how I have them. I have a stack of two - the top one has an old radio on it that weighs 25 pounds. The one on the bottom supports all that weight, plus the top stand plus 2 smaller radios weighing about 10 pounds. So the bottom stand supports a little over 35 pounds with know evidence of overloading and no sagging.

I have found them to be very sturdy. I use them in my pantry to hold cans, but they are capable of carrying much more weight than that. 50 lbs perhaps? I am sure that a flower pot or two would not be a problem for this shelf.

At least 20-30 lbs for each shelf, I'd guess. I use mine as a liquor rack, and all the shelves are full. So it holds a good chunk of weight.

I've got 4 book boxes, each weighing around 60 lbs., on the bottom two shelves of one unit. I estimate the total weight on that unit at around 260-275 lbs. and it's carried that load for a year with no problems. I would advise putting heavy items on the bottom two shelves only, so the unit won't tip easily (in case it gets bumped).

The shelves are not flexible (which is what I prefer) because each shelf is supposed to hold I think 20-30 pounds (the shelves actually hold much more). If you have the money I would not hesitate to buy it. I have one and am going to probably get 2 more in the future. Go to AudioKarma and look under the "Members Systems" go to page 872 and look for my name jeff spicoli and you will see that you can rotate the shelves to make a nice rack to hold some of your gear.

I think they are really good shelfs but, I wouldn't load them that heavy for several reasons. I would never load anything at the maximum load. It is just asking for trouble. I always like to give myself a little safety factor in case somethind strange occurs. It very well may hold 350 lbs per shelf but why press your luck. If you want a shelf to hold that much you should buy a commercial shelving unit.

I can't say for sure how much weight it can hold BUT i can tell you that we have loaded up our shelves with everything from tool kits, masonary & gardening supplies (inc. large pots), filled plastic storage boxes. I'd buy more but we do not have the room. I like the idea that the shelves are not solid so air can circulate. Theses would work outside also I'm sure also.

The specs list the max weight per shelf as 90lbs. It's a very sturdy shelving unit, so pots and pans (cast iron or not) will not prove to be an issue.

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.

The booklet said it could support 50 pounds per shelf. As an added precaution we placed a 1x2 firing strip on the wall then rested the bottom of the cabinet on top of it so that the firing strip acted as bottom support for the cabinet. We have used ours now for about 4 months and am quite pleased with the cabinet.

From the product description, "and made of heavy duty plastic so each shelf will hold 75 pounds with the weight evenly distributed." I use it to store bike parts and put the heaviest stuff on the bottom shelves for stability purposes.

I don't know, I use them for my son video game system and controllers. The shelves are metal and seems to be very strong and I feel the could hold at least 30 or more pounds easily

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.

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
