What is the maximum load supported by the shelves and racks?
The payload depends on the model (dimensions, material, type of support) and is specified on the product sheet or in the manual.
To use your furniture safely:
1) Distribute the weight evenly (avoid point loads).
2) Place the heaviest items at the bottom of the furniture (sideboards, display cabinets).
3) Respect the span: the longer/deeper a shelf is, the lower its load capacity.
4) Type of shelf:
- Wood (solid or veneer on E0 MDF/plywood core): better load capacity than glass of the same dimensions.
- For reference: For a panel 2.2 cm thick and 1 meter long by 35 cm wide supported only by 2 sides of 35 cm: The recommended payload is 25kg distributed (or 30kg maximum load).
- Tempered glass: lower payload; handle without point impacts.
- Adjustable shelves on pegs: often have a lower load capacity than a fixed (structural) shelf.
5) Warning signs: if you observe visible bending or cracking, lighten it immediately.
Additional notes: on large furniture, adjust the central leg (if it exists). For tall furniture/display cabinets, secure to the wall (anti-tipping kit).
Specific cases (hi-fi, vinyl records, dense library, aquarium, heavy collection): contact us before installation to confirm load compatibility.

Material reminder: our panels and components are selected with strict criteria (E0 for panels); however, wood remains natural (knots, color variations, grain) and these aspects do not alter the quality.
