While it is hard to see in the picture, these shelves hold books, ceramic pots, and plenty of other items. As for the actual weight they can hold, I would recommend talking to a structural engineer who could calculate that for you. In this case, the wood shelves wrap around a hidden metal substructure which supports all the wight.
