We desperately need a rolling shelf for our panty. The intent would be to hold home-canned veggies in quart jars--probably stored in plastic containers. Do you think this would bear the weight? I saw a couple of negative quality remarks, so just not...

The shelf I ordered was very heavy duty. If you do not need it to roll, there are good, less expensive options.

Hi there!This utility cart was a disaster. It was made from the cheapest materials ever and literally fell apart upon putting it together. I would think it was just me, but I also put together a large pantry and a small strorage shelf when I moved and all of them were just fine. I really recommend that you go with a diffferent cart. Oh and no there was no shelf behind the doors.

I agree with the other responses, I don't think it would work either. There are only groves for the jars to rest in, not secured. If you put it on its side, the jars would end up resting on each other and most likely fall down.

Haven't used it for that, but I think it would hold one or two of the average size. Top shelf only because of height of lower shelves. Mine rolls fairly well, but I don't really roll it that much, except for cleaning under. I use mine next to tub and it works fine for that.

I have a lot of weight on it....all my shirts (short and long sleeve), all my jackets, a lot of my heavy shoes (boots), blankets, sweatshirts, and few things on the top shelf, so it can withstand a lot of weight. The bars are good for hanging, so hanging plants will probably be fine. I don't know about adding wheels though. I can't remember if wheels came with it, and I don't know if you could even add them on your own. I don't think so. It really like it though. I've never had a problem with it.

Small cans maybe. It's sturdy enough for bathroom stuff, i'd be a little hesitant to load it up with heavy Kitchen supplies. Oh by the way the reports of the feet not screwing in right are true.

Hi Robina! I don't think that using this particular product is a good idea for the heavy items you would like to store. It is very flexible. I think you would be better using something more solid.Yours truly,Grandma Judy

There's definitely potential for rolling up and moving. I have the king size and two people can roll it up, but it would require a significant amount of closet space for storing.

We store towels, toiletries and a vacuum cleaner in ours. We use removable baskets to make accessing items easier. This cabinet is sturdy enough - I'd wonder about weight of canned/dry goods, but if you didn't overload I'm sure it would be fine. We switched to pull out shelves for our kitchen cabinets and love the fact that I can see items further back on shelf. Hope this helps.

Usually those are pretty light, so I would say yes! It is a pretty heavy piece itself - a lot heavier than your typical folding shelf.

I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood. I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these.

Hi. I honestly wouldn't use this to store composting material in unless it's light weight. It's walls, though they seem quite strong, I don't think are meant for constant weight or anything as heavy as fully composted material. I love mine for collecting ward waste while I'm gardening but then I take it to the 96 gallon (city of Seattle provided) bin for weekly pick up. Good luck to you though. Judy in Seattle

I would say no....probably too tight....a regular roll is perfect. Hung mine under the counter.....great for the price and looks good.

I have many small plastic pots and saucers on the shelves. I would say it can bear quite a bit of weight, considering the pots are often wet.

Its hard to say, my wife uses it in her salon for tubes of hair color.Obviously its not the same weight as canned food but she gets quite a bit of product on each shelf.I know you could for sure put cans on the very bottom self as well as the bottom of the second level.But it does say in the description that is is used for pantry storage.

No. Not even close. Just tried it. :-) Besides, it best to store canning jars upright in case they break seal and leak. Best to build shelves.

I'm not exactly sure about pounds, but I have them loaded down. I use it as storage for can goods, and large items that are heavy. We shop in bulk and bulk items will not fit in our pantry. I do know 20#'s of potatoes, and a case of soup is on one shelf and it doesn't seem to be any problem. Weight distribution I think is the key. Hope this helps.
