What material are the shelves made out of? Are they sturdy?

It's one plastic shelf that divides the space into two sections. It's sturdy enough for the file folders I put on it.

The shelves are made of plastic but serve its purpose. I would have preferred metal shelves.

I don't know for sure but they so seem pretty sturdy. I don't think I would load every shelf with hard bound books. But spreading the weight over several shelves and putting lighter weight items in between, would probably work great.

Yes, I think so. They're not the lightest shelves, but as others have said, they're sturdy. And if the gasp in the shelves are an issue, you could always cut panels from cardboard or a light wood to place on each shelf after you set up the frame.

Shelves are sturdy - one appliance should be ok on each shelf.You can adjust them as you build them. Good Cabinet.

I think it would be sturdy, the shelves are slats - not a solid piece of wood. It would look ok.

I would not suggest heavy items. Shelves are only anchored into one side plus they are not solid wood..they are hollow and light weighr

Yes, the shelves are sturdy. We have them loaded with baskets of papers/mazagines, a wine bottle holder, wine glasses, framed pictures, candleholders, and a laptop.

I use mine for kitchen appliance storage and have had no issues, I'd say they are good for 100 or so pounds per shelf. Hope this helps, it really is a very good and strong shelving unit for the $$$.

The shelves are constructed from a thin, strong plastic material. The thickness shown in the picture is a facade with supporting 3" cross-hatch behind the facade / under the solid top of shelf. If you turn any of the shelf items over, you would see compartments of about 3" square where the supports cross. This makes them very light, but very strong. I have used the shelves to hold 75 lbs on a single shelf. The only hazard is balance. Each shelf has two holes in the back where you can anchor it to drywall to maintain upright balance. -Kevin

Shelves are very sturdy. The back panel is not. If the unit is to be placed against a wall, it will be fine. I have heavy books and wine bottles on my shelves with no problem. Unit looks like a piece that cost more than it really did.

Yes, this shelf is very sturdy. I've got it loaded with heavy appliances and it's not bowed and continues to slide easily.

They seem sturdy enough, but currently I have them stacked on separate shelves, so I can't be absolutely certain!

No. Sorry. The shelves are stationary. They are welded in place, which makes the unit sturdy, but not flexible.

They are metal. It is what it is, you can get something sturdier but you will pay a whole lot more. This has worked just fine for us and it was pretty easy to put together.

The shelves are very sturdy, I believe they are made of a very heavy duty molded plastic. On one shelf, I have very large blender and a Kitchen Aide mixer and a coffee maker for a total of over 50 Pounds. You can not go wrong with this product.
