Stacked vertically, what's the maximum weight the top shelf can withstand? If I purchase this, I would use the top for a (very heavy, older model) TV.

i dont know what the maximum weight is, but it wont hold a very heavy tv. this closetmaid is not strong for that

I wouldn't put anything that heavy on the top either way because it would make the whole unit tip over a lot easier. And it would probably warp the boards after a couple months

If you only use the top shelf, it will be a bit flimsy. You will need to use a minimum of 2 shelves so it is study enough to use.

It's pretty sturdy, but I think each shelf's weight limit is 10 pounds. I wouldn't try a TV on it.

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!

I would say no. This is a really petite stand. It has a really small footprint. Even a light 60" TV is going to swallow it up. It may not even provide much if any clearance between the TV and the top shelf, depending on the bezel. It's also definitely not equipped to handle anything overly heavy.

I think it all depends on the weight of the TV. It is pretty sturdy but I would not go much past the max weight.

the shelf seems to be able to go the distance from top to bottom (as well as the tv, it has sliders). As far as the weight, the max weight on the shelf is 50#

I've had my shelf for several years. If it is still the same quality, I would say it would hold a smaller TV. I have a 21" TV that it would hold with no problem. Wouldn't want to put more than 10 or 15 lbs. on it.

It's a sturdy piece of furniture. It should hold a TV with no problem. I'm not sure exactly what the weight rating is for this, but I'd say t hat any TV that will fit on top of it will be no problem. And if you're talking about a plasma or LCD TV, I don't think they make one that's too heavy for it.

I would not suggest it. It is not that the shelf is not fairly sturdy, it just not it's intended purpose; so it was not really made with that kind of support in mind. The shelf is fairly skinny which is a great feature for space saving, but not good for holding a TV base. I would stick to a real table or tv stand rather than this shelf.

I mounted it with the top shelf on the bottom and the bottom shelf on the top, so the swivel stuff (which I think would be difficult to remove) hangs harmlessly from the bottom of the top shelf, out of sight and out of mind. The unit is rock solid that way. I have a 50" flat screen on it (although well below the 60 pound weight limit) and it's very solid and not in danger of going anywhere. I probably wouldn't exceed 60 pounds (depending on how the load is distributed - if near the corners it would probably handle quite a bit more) but the unit is more than solid enough for a large TV.

Its a very strong unit, and I do not think you would have a problem. A lot would depend on how you mount the base to the shelf, [suggest nuts and bolts,] and the size and weight of your screen. I've not had any problems with this unit, like I said, it is very strong. Hope this helps.

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

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.

The description states: "It features 4 open storage spaces including 2 adjustable shelves that can support up to 10 pounds and 2 lateral open spaces". I use the top on my shelve unit to display family pictures and have my TV wall mounted above them. I have my DVD player,Audio Receiver and cable DVR box inside on the shelves which probably take up all 10 lb capacity. If you absolutely need to set your set on top then you could consider putting a leg or brace in the center of the shelve unit to the floor for support. This of course defeats the idea of "wall mount" and you might as well get a cabinet.

No way. I definitely wouldn't do it. It's not strong enough. Check product details for weight limits but I would look for another option for a tv. It is a nice shelf for other things though.

I'm using the shelf on a lg 47 in LED tv supporting my Klipsch RC3 that weights 29 lbs and doesn't have any issues. Go for it!
