Is this closest rack sturdy enough to use as a general storage rack for boxes weighing around 30 Lbs each? Thanks in advance!

I would say yes I actually ended up standing in it for a few minutes while rearranging things although I was worried it may bend under my weight it was actually surprisingly sturdy.

It is pretty sturdy but I don't think its built for 150 lbs on just the right side of it. If the weight was balanced I would say yes.

I have about 20 pounds worth of electronics and books and it handles that weight fine. I think it would handle 30 pounds just fine as well.

The problem isn't so much the sturdiness of the rack, but the fact that it is so lightweight. If you can place it in a cupboard where it is firmly braced on two sides, then it's OK. If you can't brace it and use it for something heavy, it tips over.

I'd guess it might hold the weight, but it would be borderline, and the space is small enough it might be problematic. However, it's a nice rack, and I'd think that worst case scenario you might want to use part of the bag first and just stack the rest that would fit in it.

I have the same issue, but it seems solid enough and strong enough. When we bench with 200+ pounds on the bar, and re-rack it, this little bit of give does tend to move the rack a bit, even with an additional 200 pounds on the weight holding pegs, so be aware of that. I definitely would not rack more than 300 pounds on this however - if you need to go beyond that weight, you should look into a whole cage because you are too advanced for this particular rack.

I have only used it for towels and jewelry, so I can't give an informed answer. It's aluminum, so my guess is that it wouldn't support anything heavy, like metal tools. This rack is designed for organization and visibility of smaller items. For heavy things, better to use a pegboard and hook system.

It is a very sturdy rack, provided you use all four supports. With just two supports, I do not think it would hold heavy cakes.

I second that. I use my three racks a few times a week. The racks are very sturdy & stores anyway very easily. One of the best Amazon purchases I've ever made.

No, its not structurally strong enough or wide enough. Hanger rack is only about a foot in diameter.

Yes, sturdy enough for sure. Check other Q&As for measurements to be sure you can at least slide your items in from the side to fit.

It's sturdy. I have been using it for almost 9 months now, hanging things on it daily. The legs actually slide into the body of the rack, so I am confident of its sturdiness. I have had no complaints about the rack.

I am using my 2 for a file cabinet and shelf. I believe they will be sturdy enough for your intended use but I have not had the occasion to use them as such..Nina Quinlan

Yes very sturdy. Just understand the basket isn't very deep. For groceries I would think you want something deeper.

It's pretty sturdy. I think I have 10 or 15 pounds at least on each shelf. I put the heaviest items on the bottom shelf. If you put a lot of weight on the shelves, I think it would be wise to install the wall anchor that came with your unit. I have not anchored mine, but the weight does not seem to cause the unit to be shaky or unbalanced. I think this unit is a good buy, especially at the price.

I can't give you a precise answer as to how much weight each shelf can support, however I can tell you that we use our cabinet to store household appliances, such as, a kitchenaid food processor, crock pot (lrg), etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting more than 30 lbs per shelf.

I have this cabinet set and I don't think the shelves really have much of a weight limit. I'd say so go for it!

If your items don't exceed measurements of rack, it will hold them fine. It's very sturdy.
