What Is the Maximum Weight Capacity Per Shelf of Wooden Filing Cabinets?

I’m looking to buy wooden filing cabinets to hold stacks of heavy paper files and binders, and I don’t want shelves sagging or bending over time—does anyone know the typical maximum weight capacity per shelf of wooden  filing cabinet ?

Usually the maximum weight each shelf of a wooden filing cabinet can hold varies widely based on shelf thickness, wood type, support bracket design, and shelf span length. Most standard mass-market wooden filing cabinet shelves have a weight capacity ranging from roughly 40 to 120 pounds (18 to 54 kilograms) per shelf.
 
Factors such as solid wood vs. engineered particleboard/MDF shelf panels, whether metal reinforcing bars are fitted underneath the shelf, the number of side support pegs, and how wide the open shelf stretch is can drastically alter the safe load limit.
