[Nhcoll-l] Shelves load capasity

[William Simpson]

Hi Joosep,

Ask the manufacturer what the load capacity is, then if possible get a 
sample and test it.  We buy bags of salt and load up shelves to test 
them.  We've had one model collapse under a load of salt matching the 
manufacturer's stated capacity.

Best,

Bill
