I have fitted some shelves into an alcove between two chimneys. The shelves

Would these shelves support a sustained weight of about 60 kg? Reason I'm


All I can suggest is to load the shelves with something of equivalent weigh
for a test run (something unbreakable!)

and leave it for a week.

target weight, if it takes that for 5 minutes it'll be fine with 60kg.
Watch your toes though.
