How steady is this shelf system? I have the industrial strength Alera and it's firm but not sure if this product is made of same wire metals. Thanks

Seems very steady to me but it just sits in one place loaded up with dresses, shoes, belts and othe miscellaneous items. Made out of durable wire. I bought a cheaper shelving system before this one that started to bend. This one has held up as a stationery piece, not sure how it would be as a rack that gets moved around since it is on wheels. It has two locking casters.

I could probably stand on it and I weight 200 pounds. Yep, just stood on the front edge, it would sag some in the middle if I stood there, so I didn't try

The base is nearly as large as the top. You should have no problem with a wire shelf.

Sorry, this doesn't apply to your question however, this shelf is crap. I wish I would not had purchased it. It was horrible to assemble and it seems to be unstable after being assembled. Was a very heavy item to have shipped/returned so I kept it. Good luck!

I'm not exactly sure. The shelves are very solid with a smooth finish on top.

The shelves are in two pieces that fit to gather to make each shelve and they are made of metal . Their a bit tricky to put to gather , but their very sturdy when assembled.

I would highly recommend it as I would with any shelf system particularly if you expect a good amount of weight to be held. I mounted to a stud and it is rock solid.

Our shelf has +3 yrs and still it is working properly, so do not worry about shelfs, they're designed for long life! Good luck!

Mine does but I have old wire shelves in my apartment fridge. If they were solid shelves with a bit of a lip all around like most fridges have, I doubt it would move. It's nice and heavy duty, lays nice and things are easy to move on it, but like I said, it does too.

Yes. The top shelf is reinforced and sturdy. Bottom shelf is just sheet metal.

Shelves, such as they are, come with. The LPs are supported by metal bars that run side to side, one near the back and one near the front. There was concern that the bars would not be sufficient and some people added wood or other materials. My compartments are jammed full and the metal bars are holding up just dandy. I do recommend this product; I bought one to start with as a test and now have three.

Echo the first response: Truss supports are built into the sides of the shelf and down the center length-wise - extremely stable and firm. They can hold quite a bit of weight. Highly Recommend it.

Not 'As Is"... There are pre-drilled holes in the front legs and back frame for the shelf supports. If you are handy with a drill and measuring tape, you could easily drill more holes to make it work for you. The frame in the back is steel. The front legs are nice, solid wood. We are extremely pleased with the overall quality and durability of this piece, especially for the price.

The only issue is that people did not read carefully when ordering - As mentioned by other respondents you have a choice of stainless shelves or chrome - The stainless are definitely better than chrome but much more expensive. log on to www.sausagemaker.com for an online catalog where all options are clearly stated and thus make an informed decision.....Regardless of which you choose this is a great machine - Mine is going on 8 years old and has not given a moments trouble.......Merry Christmas

I have some dishes and glassware in mine, and it is holding up well so far, but I don't have the shelves weighted way down, either... It is pretty sturdy. Only caveat for this product is that the cam locks are flimsy so I had to take the top off and glue it then use cam locks as best as I could. It's holding up fine so far.

I reenforced ours. It held the weight pretty well but it tended to lean forwards where we have it placed. It is a very sturdy shelf and will hold plenty enough books. I can upload a picture if you would like to see our shelf full of books.

I don't believe the unit is solid. I bought it for my Grandmother. I installed it into a stud and she used it daily and it had no issues holding her weight as needed.
