As
you can see by this dated photo above, our
shelving is built to hold a tremendous amount of
weight. However, we do not recommend holding a
dozen men on our shelves!
We
use Old World Woodworking Construction Methods,
such as Mortise & Tenon Joints and Tongue &
Groove.
Our Hang Bars will typically hold 10 times the
weight of most of other hang bars.
150 lbs. of deadweight is shown above.
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.
