Hi,

While there's nothing extremely heavy on the
shelves - e.g., one shelf
contains a Canon laser printer (the square one with a CX engine),
about 40 full-height 5-1/4" hard drives, an 8" floppy drive and a few
other things, I noticed that some of the items on some of the shelves
appear to be leaning slightly. It turns out that the boards are
sagging a bit towards the center, so it's just a matter of time before
things begin to go crash. Not sure how soon that might happen, but
this sagging has occurred fairly quickly, or so it seems.
The desk on which my main Mac sits is made of this stuff and is sagging
under the weight of the two monitors. That's only a year old. Needless
to say it's scheduled for prompt replacement with a steel desk!
