What is the maximum weight and size book this stand can accomodate?

Not sure. I returned it for a model whose shelf could move up and down to accommodate books of varied vertical heights.

This is extremely sturdy, so I would guess it could accommodate almost any book weight within reason. As for size of book, the back frame the book rests upon is approximately 8.5 inches, so safely, I would think any book less than 14in would probably be fine. However, please note that I use this for a laptop holder so I may use it as an additional monitor in which case it works awesome.

It accommodates my Harrison's "Principals of Internal Medicine" and my son's Algebra vol. II. I am pleased with it.

I really can't give you a precise answer, I use it for cook books and my planner but it would support a coffee table book I am sure. Pretty sturdy and good sized. I am quite happy with it. I have a full sized planner and it is completely supporte without hanging over the edges.

I used it for the Florida Contractors Manual, about 6 inches thick, 1500 pages and about 5-6 lbs.No problem, the clips on the bottom help with sliding.

The stand will easily hold about 60lbs but.... You must make sure your assembly goes well. There is a good possibility that the assembly (if done improperly) will render the stand useless.

I don't know the exact load capacity but I have Definitive Technology Center sitting on it...I think it (my C Channeel) weighs somewhere around 30lbs. This stand is beefy and I would buy/recommend it again.

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

Not knowing how large and heavy your book is, I just tried putting a 1500+ page hardcover book on my stand, and it seemed pretty much just as stable as with just a few pages of sheet music. I would however suggest: Putting the back leg pointed straight back (hopefully this makes sense), so it doesn't tip back, and for extra support on each side. I'd also suggest slightly offsetting your book, slightly more centering the weight distribution.

I think it would hold it. The stand is very sturdy. I've put some fairly heavy textbooks on it.

like any item you have a max. my speakers weigh about 18lbs and all is good with the stands.

Yes. It is supporting my 13" apple laptop right now and could easily hold something heavier and wider. This is a VERY sturdy book stand.

This large book shelf holds 20lb max. load and is 10 inches deep. I have hardcover heavy cookbooks and a couple of paperbacks on mine and it works just fine. Make sure you install it properly so it remains sturdy.

Hi Katrina. I was wondering the same thing... I found a seller on eBay who described it as holding up to 15 pounds. The Container Store supposedly sells them (9.99) so I'm going to try to swing by and pick a few up. Thinking that a few would make a display similar to the "Sapien" free-standing vertical metal bookshelves sold at "design within reach" and other places for $250. Ideally it won't crash. :) JD

I would think so. The books for my band aren't really heavy but this stand seems very sturdy.

Can't remember if there were weight restrictions listed in the assembly instruction. I've been storing a commercial Kitchen Aid Mixer, a large electric frying pan and a large Crock Pot on my stand and it is holding up great---no complaints.

I regularly place a full big band book on this stand. Not sure exactly how much it weighs, but we're talking a heavy duty folder with 300 or so sheets of paper in it...

We are very pleased with ours - bought a couple of months ago. It does not wobble and is very sturdy. I have a lot of books on it - must be at least 20 lbs. But I'm sure it can carry more than that. So, yes, 30-40lbs should be OK.

Yes, it will as far as the dimensions are concerned. But, considering the weight of the book, it will depend on how you use the stand; if you use it on a desk or a table it should be o.k.

Priscilla, i am really not sure of it's weight capacity, but i have used it to hold a hardback book. It will not work on paperback books tho' cause there is no way to hold the pages in place. I hope this helps you decide.

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).
