Hi, Actually, I bought the targus backack 17" and it holds all his high school books, 2 binders and supplies. It is big, sturdy and holds a lot. I am not sure about the weight but it seems to held very heavy stuff. We tries multiple bags and they would tear easily but targus has been the best one so far, it still looks and holds like we just got it.

It has a pencil pen pouch on the front then a zippered pouch big enough for files or home work, leaving two sections for books. You should be about to carry three to four nice size text books standing on the narrow side in those. I hope that answers your question.

Candace, if you're asking about the "Targus XL Top-Loading Case", which I have, I can't imagine it carrying 30 lbs. But if you're asking about the "Targus XL Backpack", which I also have, than the answer is Yes, definitely it can hold 30 lbs. I'm very pleased with the Backpack, I'd highly recommend it. Just so there is no confusion about the backpack I'm referring to here's the link:Targus XL Backpack Designed for 17-Inch Notebooks, Black with Blue Accents (TXL617)

Its is a little bigger than the usual student backpack. If you will it with books it will weigh a lot. But it is a sturdy pack.

Not much. I have a couple of textbooks and then mostly papers and photo frame. It's sturdy enough for light things only.

No, its sorta flimsy. I dont carry any binders in mine, but im sure you can carry one. The strap will brake if you carry a textbook though.

Around 30 lbs give or take...it's not overly heavy if that's what you are worried about.

I use this for all of my cookbooks and each shelf is holding aprox 35 lbs of books and seems to be holding up just fine.

I bought this to hold my Dell 1720dn printer, and it holds it just fine. The booklet says it can hold 30 lbs on the top shelf/surface, 30 lbs on the bottom shelf/surface, and 10 lbs in the drawer. That's 70 lbs in total.

This would handle a few books well. It'd be a bit trying with let's say a Intro to Biology/ Chemistry book. THat'd just be one heavy load out for one arm. It would hold them, but you would just murder your shoulder. I usually kept a folder, notebook and 1 textbook (Medium size).

I'm in nursing school so my text books are massive I'd say 2 massive medical text books plus folders and miscellaneous stuff. I'd say it can def hold 50lbs.

It is extremely heavy and strong. I carry my 15" macbook pro(which is heavy)and three books for class plus a full size stapler and pens and graphing calculator....it is way stronger than necessary.

I bought this as a gift for my daughters, who are teachers. They tell me that if cannot hold a great deal of weight. They would suggest not putting over one book in a pocket and then should only put 5-6 books at the utmost as it cannot hold a lot of weight.

I don't have any large textbooks this semester, but to give you an idea of what it can hold: I can fit my chromebook 11, a five subject notebook, one of those plastic binders and 3 medium sized textbooks. It meets my needs just fine.

I haven't had any issues or worries on holding heavy objects. I have a few of the shelving units now. I use one in the garage holding large totes of book's. Works fine so far.

I don't know that i would use them to hold textbooks sized but maybe paperback novels. I haven't put a whole lot of weight on mine since i use them at artist alley. The times i have used it for heavier storage it has not batted a eyelash though. As long as you don't weight it with 30 math books you should be alright.

I regularly carry over 20lbs. of papers and binders on a daily basis and it has been holding up quite well.
