A shelf can typically support 20 to 100 pounds per bracket, depending on material, bracket type, and installation. Wood shelves with strong metal brackets and wall stud mounting hold the most weight. Always check manufacturer ratings to ensure safe and stable loading.
For example, a sturdy wooden or metal shelf with strong wall anchors can support more weight than a thin, plastic shelf with minimal support. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for load limits and ensure proper installation to maximize weight capacity.
