A pilaster system can typically hold 50 to 100 pounds per shelf when using metal strips and secure mounting clips. Weight capacity depends on material strength, clip design, and even load distribution across the shelf. Pilasters are often decorative and may not be designed to bear significant loads unless specifically engineered for structural support. For accurate load-bearing capacity, it's essential to consult with a structural engineer who can assess these factors in relation to the specific pilaster in question.
