I am not certain, but I do have many glass figurines on each shelf. I the bottom shelf for the larger, and the top holds the smaller. Very happy to have it.

I don't really know but we do have a bunch of books on the bottom shelf which are fairly heavy. We have a pair and really love them.

I'd say probably not more than 5 pounds... if that. I don't have anything very heavy on mine... so I really haven't tested it for weight. But it is really nice-looking in the space I used it in.

Top of unit up to 40 lbs. Two Adjustable shelves up to 30 lbs each. The bottom fixed shelf up to 30 lbs. The bottom drawer up to 20 lbs. This came from Sauder on another site.

The origami holds 250 lbs per shelf, as advertised. I haven't tested it though. I sure do love my shelving. I have one in the garage and one in a utility room. Planning on ordering the work bench next.

Not sure. I put a lot on these shelves and it holds up to it. They themselves are very light and I can move them around in the closet or use them in two pieces so I can put them on the top shelf if my closet to organize.

according to the Installation Guide at the Bush Furniture website; each shelf will hold 50 pounds (for a total of 250 pounds).

Terri, these shelves easily hold over 200 lbs dispersed across them - the limiting factor for weight is wheels breaking up due to total unit loading.

I really can't answer that. These shelves are in my utility room and I use the top for folding clothes and the shelves underneath for storing laundry detergent and cleaning supplies, so there isn't much weight on them.

I believe the shelves are rated at something like 100lbs each. I don't have nearly that much on it but I do have a lot and it is very very sturdy. Doesn't bend under the weight of a kitchenaid mixer and my rice cooker.

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.

As long as the shelf is not heavy they will hold 50 pounds look at the weight of the shelf and what you plan to put on it. I have a very heavy old picture and used two hooks for it and has held for years.

I don't know the exact weight, but I have the shelves full of hard cover books with no problems.

I have no idea how much each shelf can hold, but we're using our cabinet as a pantry - canned goods, cleaning sprays, etc. There has been no bowing of the shelves, but so far they're not completely full. We're very pleased with the storage unit and feel it's well-built and appears sturdy.

It all depends. The shelves are fairly thick and I would say that you would be safe with 25-30 lbs evenly distributed across the whole shelf. It may hold more, but remember you are dealing with particle board material and it may sag eventually.

Dear hotrodguy, Each individual shelf has a max capacity of 17 lbs. Thank you, Value Max

I figure it was about 35-45 lbs. Remember it can hold up to 350lbs per shelf!! Its worth the effort.

This will easily hold 40 pounds and more (Up to 100). You need to make sure to locate a wooden 2X4 and secure the shelf with either the screws provided or longer lag screws that you can get from the hardware store.
