The cats tend to yowl when they're asked to bear weight.
To tell the truth, I don't know the official rating on the shelves. They're from the Container Store because those were the strongest; at the display room here they have a Kitchen Aide standing mixer on one and I hefted it - it's real (and real heavy.) Strong enough to handle everything we've put on it, but not strong enough to handle one of us putting our weight on it to help lever ourselves up. (ahem. Fortunately, we had extra brackets.)
