I have never, ever heard of a house collapsing or getting any damage due to having too much stuff up on the second floor, have you? Go ahead and put a desk, a couple of bookshelves and steel cabinets in your second story office. I have lots more than that and my house is still standing. EDIT: Come on people. Let's be reasonable here. It's not like a hoard of elephants are going to live on the second floor here. We are talking about four, maybe five pieces of office furniture !!
