Is the weight capacity of each unit over/understated or is it pretty accurate?

Pretty sure it's understated. I've put up some pretty heavy windows with two guys and two cups

The key variable is the surface of the object being lifted in order to maintain vacume. Works great @nd as specified for glass; , not sure about granite Recommend 2 for large windows I used 4 for 250 lb picture window plus 2 helpers

Full package seems to weigh a bit less than 19 pounds - used bathroom scales.Do you mean, is it sturdy? I have a good bit of weight on the ones I have - a small AC unit in one case and lots of packs of colored paper. Important to put some of your heavy items on the bottom shelves for a balanced load and load the bottom first. If you put heavy items only on the top 2 shelves it may tip over (almost any light shelf unit would).

Based upon the weight of my dog on the scale compared to the scale at the vet's office, I'd say they are accurate to within a quarter pound. More importantly, they are incredibly consistent. Since purchasing them, I have periodically (initially every week or so; now maybe once every month or two) tested them by placing the same pair of 30 pound iron dumbbells on them. Maybe 2 or 3 times, they have read 58.4, otherwise, they are always 58.6. Note: I believe that the pair of dumbbells are less than 60 pounds. I have checked them on other bathroom scales, and they have always weighed less than 60 pounds on those scales too. Regardless, consistency is far more important than the accuracy in bathroom scales. After all, the purpose of bathroom scales is to monitor the change in one's body weight over time, not for commercial purposes, such as weighing copper ore. IMO these are the best bathroom scales that I have ever used.

The weight capacity of the unit is 600 lbs, so depending on how many shelves you have installed you can estimate the capacity. I can tell you that I have two of these units in my garage and have never had a problem with sagging shelves or overweight issues. I use for automotive and household supplies, paint cans, etc. keeping heavier cans on lower shelves. I find them very useful storage units and like that I can lock up spray cans with harmful chemicals and keep away from children.

not necessarily peak weight but when it stabilizes. I checked it with items of known weight and it was very accurate.

Ours seems to be accurate in the large and the smaller letter size weights too. Have had very good luck with it. Gary and Karyn

It is sturdy. I have never tested its weight capacity but it is loaded most of the time. I'm also an architect and I have used to it hold code books that far outweigh even three Real Books at once.

Hi Rachel....the unit is well built and can hold a lot of weight...not sure precisely how much, but it's worth the money. The company did send us the wrong pieces initially though, so beware of that.

If the 10lb weight you're using to test the scale is a typical fitness weight (either olympic or standard, doesn't matter), it's highly unlikely to weigh exactly 10lbs. Typcally, the cheaper the weight, the more inaccurate it will be.

I have checked it with 10lb weights and it did register correctly, the only issues I have is that with something heavier such as myself, it does not register the same weight consistently....

Shipping weight on my unit was over 200 pounds. So I don't think they are the same.

The manufacturer doesn't list a weight capacity, but I have kept a 100 pound piece of equipment on mine for more than a year with no issues.

I am not sure what you mean by weight capacity. But I am 6,3 235lbs, and I can lean on them pretty good and they dont collapse once they are set up correctly. I hope this answered your question.

I'd have to research a response on the Withings web site. Another person has responded to your inquiry, and the answer seems plausible. Withings finally responded to my comments about the accuracy of the scale and it's inability to distinguish between users. If users weights are less than 10 pounds apart, each will have to stand on either the left or right leg to tell the scale which person is on the scales. I reaffirm my opinion that this is just something assembled so the company has something to sell rather than meeting a consumer need with a well engineered and serviceable appliance.

I have no way of testing the pounds, but I can compare it to a basic gym machine. It holds up, might need some tightening here and there, due to the light nature of the machine. I use setting 3 every day, and I love it! Just heavy enough to make me sweat, but easy on my knee.

Not entirely sure to be honest. The combined weight of me and my wife is about 255 lbs. So we're kind of a bad example of weight capacity.
