We cannot "Guarantee" exactly how much weight our shelves will hold. As you can see by this dated photo, our shelving is built to hold a tremendous amount of weight. However, we do not recommend holding a dozen men on our shelves!
Lundia shelving will deflect if it is overloaded. If you are going to load heavy books, we recommend shorter shelving lengths (i.e. 24", 30" or 36" widths). A 42" or 48" shelf may show slight deflection on heavy loads.
We have included photos below to show you how our shelves can deflect based on the shelf width and how much weight. All the shelves below are 12" deep for our example.

Our 24" wide Solid Wood Shelf with 340 lbs of weight.
Notice that there is NO deflection in the shelf.
(Compare the line of the yellow string to the shelf)
NO DEFLECTION
IMPORTANT: We do not guarantee the weight capacities or how much weight will make your shelf deflect. This is to give you a general idea. Since wood is a natural product, every shelf can and will react differently to weight.
