What is the weight limit for items placed on hutch shelves?

Commercial hutch shelves are typically rated for 25–50 lbs. per shelf. Shelves supporting binder rows at the upper limit of their rating may deflect slightly — stay within rated capacity and use center shelf supports on wider (36 in.+) shelves. Heavier items (reference books, equipment) should be placed on lower shelves. OfficeFurniture2go.com provides load ratings for all hutch products — call 1-800-460-0858.
