Last I knew my local Lowe's cuts glass to any size and it wasnt crazy expensive... But still might be more than the entire shelf cost.

Amazon sellers know that 4+ stars is basically a requirement to sell anything on the platform. Thus, they'll do anything they can to boost their reviews. Amazon's in a constant battle to snuff out fakes, but there's not much they can do against some strategies.
For example, they used to take reviews at face value. Those were easily abused, so they started to require verified purchases*. Companies started providing promo codes to "reviewers" so they could order the products for free and leave glowing reviews. So then Amazon scrubbed all reviews from free orders. Then they had to repeat with discounted orders. Now, companies contact reviewers outside of Amazon, having them buy it in a legitimate transaction and reimbursing via PayPal. There's also "brushing," where companies borrow addresses from unsuspecting users, set up fake accounts, and order the product at full price, shipping it to the unaware party.
Amazon knows this, and they'll block an account and remove all their reviews for a specific seller if they detect too many glowing (or negative, the game goes both ways) reviews. So now companies just set up multiple seller accounts so their reviewers don't get pinched. It's a back-and-forth battle, and the sellers are winning at the moment.
As for why your negative reviews are getting removed, Amazon also has to please their sellers. The sellers will dispute any negative reviews and attempt to use any technicality they can from Amazon's ToS. Usually, they'll be successful if the review mentions anything about the seller (it's a product review, they have a separate section for seller feedback), the price, or anything that can be misconstrued as a different product. And the Amazon team investigating the disputes is not primarily English-speaking, so if they have any doubt, they'll toss it out.
It's a racket. Amazon knows this, and they care - just not enough to really fix it. They're hoping people will just rely on the Vine program for reviews.
Max. Static Load Capacity of Each Tier: 22 lb (10 kg)
So far this listing has 3 different weight ratings.
22lbs in description
20kg in image
25kg in the QA section from the manufacturer.
Kudos to those who can find even more weight ratings.
Those are the obvious ones.
Question:
What weight does each shelf hold... not total load, but for 1 shelf?
Answer:
Hi, each shelf can hold up to 25 kg. Hope this helps.
