How much weight on 1x4 shelves
I want to know about how about how much weight can I put on the 2nd and third shelf, the bottom shelf is on the floor. I just built some shelves that are framed with 1x4 with the 1" side up. They are six feet long and two feet deep. Up rights are 1"x4"x4'. The shelves themself are made from scrap 3/4" and 1" plywood fastened with 1 1/2 and 2" power screws. The frame itself is put together with 1 3/4" power screws and "Titebond II" wood glue.
