I'm considering using one of these to store LPs by my stereo. Are they sturdy enough not to bend or deform with that kind of weight and use?

I would say yes, they are sturdy enough. I use them as bins for our shoes in our mud room and they've taken quite a beating and have held up nicely.

Lawrence, did you buy one of these to store your LPs, and was it sturdy enough to hold them without bending from the weight? If it didn't work, did you find something better for that task? thanks

If you filled this basket with records, it would be quite heavy. I don't believe the wire frame would be sturdy enough if you picked up the basket after filling with with LPs. If you filled it and didn't move it, it would probably be fine.

I don't think so... If so, they most likely wouldn't be able to withstand the weight of very many albums. Two of mine broke when I was assembling them.

This is pretty sturdy and I think it would handle DVDs fine. I made some interior drawers for the shelves. You would probably have to have some more shelves for the interior depending on how many DVDs you have.

They are a couple inches thick and pretty sturdy. I don't *think* they would bend (but mine aren't full of heavy stuff so I can't be sure).

They are sturdy and look like they could hold the weight of that size TV. My concern would be over time would the speaker housing joints weaken to the point of cracking and splitting.

Yes, I think this table is sturdy enough. The bottom piece adds to the stability. We have two quite heavy old cd audio components on the top of ours.

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 $$$.

I use mine for media storage and educational manuals. I am impressed with the no sag issue. I have books of all sizes some stand up some don't in any shelving. This is a 10 mostly because of the no sagging in the middle.

It can hold them, but they won't look right and they wont be snug in it. I would look for a CD rack rather than a DVD rack for your CD collection.

Hi, yes, they are very sturdy. I have one stacked one atop of another and there were no problems with the bottom box warping or ready to fall apart. They are made of sturdy plastic, so if you do want to stack one on top of another, it should be no problem, no matter how many dvd's or cd's are in the cases. I have quite a collection of dvd's and my needs were met by these boxes.

The two shelf book case is quite sturdy you should not have a problem with your guitar amp at all, I would get some weight into the shelves so you have a solid base.

Yes, it is not very sturdy. I filled mine up with blurays and any slight bump can send them all falling down. I have it leaning in the corner of my room though.

Yes. They are tall and narrow, so they can fall over if bumped hard, but they are strong enough to hold the weight of all the books you can fit on them. I have four of them in my home and I use two of them to hold stereo speakers that are pretty heavy. I really like them. Great for holding pictures and nick knacks too.

Depends if it is the fixed shelf or adjustable. No hardbacks in the middle of adjustable. I haven't had any bending with mine, but I use mine to display all sorts of different items, not just books. Disperse the weight and you should be alright unless your item is super heavy and right in the middle of the shelf. They aren't as flimsy as some reviews claimed them to be but they aren't Ethan Allen either ;-)

I'm not completely sure, but I have 25 pound Bose speakers mounted to mine and it didn't cause any strain at all on the stands so I would think that they could handle at least twice as much weight, if not a bit more.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I just use mine for books, mostly hardcover. I weighed the books I had on a shelf and it was just over 17lbs. That was just one shelf. All my shelves are filled that much and I haven't had a problem with any bowing/distorting of the shelves. I don't see why they couldn't be used to create a very unique and creative liquor display.

I really don't know. I have my records in the shelf horizontally and the shelf accommodates the records nicely and safely. You could try it but keep an eye on it to see if it will hold your records safely.
