Do the shelves sag? I've had this problem before.

I've had mine fully loaded (with about 350 CDs) for about 8 months, and the shelves are not sagging at all. My only issue is you can't have 10 shelves equally spaced apart unless you don't attach the top trim molding. It looks fine without the trim, and I can fit CDs on the top shelf the same as the rest. I also painted the bottom of the shelves black, otherwise you will see the bare "wood" when sitting near it. Hope that helps!

Mine don't look like they're sagging at all, and I've got them loaded to the gills.

Absolutely not. This is a fabulous unit. Does what it's intended for and looks very stylish.

I have two of these storage towers and do not have a problem with either of them saging. Of course, they are built to store tapes, CDs and DVDs, which are relatively lightweight I don't know what would happen if you stored heavier things on them, but I believe they would hold up then also. They are sturdy and well worth the money you pay for them.

No. The particle board that the shelves are made from is very solid and the shelves hold the weight of CDs very well. I am very pleased with this case.

It's usually easier to start from the back putting the shelves together. I've not encountered this problem.

The shelves help stabilize the rack. I wouldn't risk ii, especially if you are placing heavy items on the top shelf.

I loaded the rack with winter jackets and rain jackets. Bottom shelf is jammed with boots and shoes. No sagging, no issues.

i have not had that problem in the approximately 8 months that I have used the shelves

The shelves hold a lot of weight easily. Is it the old type of TV or a flat screen. If it's a flat screen, I would say no problem. If it's the old style, that's a lot of weight right in the middle and I'd suggest you put a board under it to distribute the weight more. Hope that helps!

I can't give you an exact weight, but my shelves are loaded with some pretty hefty books. The old Sauder shelves would definitely sag under a load like this. The new shelves, thanks to the front brace, don't sag at all. Take a good look at the picture I posted.

Yes, shelves can be left out, but not re-positioned, so you either have to leave them out, or use them. You can't adjust their position.

Hi Kelly, I just went out and looked at mine, it does appear you have some play in where you set the shelves as every inch and a half or so there is a new notch for a shelf. If you have to go to 4 shelves, or go with minimal gap between you should have the flexibility.Hope this helps!

Depends on how long the shelves are and how thick. They will probably sag if the wood is too thin and long without additional brackets

I've had the plastic ones (with about 3" of honeycomb on the bottom of the shelves for strength) sag while holding spray paint cans and the like. If you're wanting something to last, go with this style rack and you won't regret it.

I have a lot of books, hard and soft bound, and weight on the shelves and after 6 plus months I see no sag or wear. I would buy these again!

This is not a problem. I have several hundred pounds per shelf. The sleeve system, used to install the racks locks the shelf in place. The more pressure put on it, the tighter it holds.

I'm not sure, the inside/bottom of the drawer sags after putting in minimum items in it...

I've used it as such-- the main problem (other than the messed up top on one leg...), is that small items can fall through/tip over because of the spaces in the shelves.

No. Although sturdy, these units simply snap together, and there would be some flex, so the likelihood of things falling off the shelf is about 95%.

By sag, do you mean they pivot down? If so, there is an adjustment screw on the side of the hinge portion. If you tighten this screw it will make it harder to tilt the monitor up and down, but will make it so the monitors weight itself doesn't make it drop.
