Physically Stacking Items on top of Switch

Hello,

I have an odd-ish question.

What kind of weight can I expect to place on a Cisco SG300 switch?

I have 2 NAS units (a 4 bay synology -- DS415+ and a 2 bay Dlink -- DNS320), an Edgerouter, a Fiber Optic Modem and a Print Server.

Obviously the lighter stuff will be no problems being on top of the switch.

Just don't know about the NAS units. Do I risk anything if I stack these items on top of the switch?

How much physical load can the metallic enclosures of the switch handle?

Thanks

Oh and didn't mean to be 100% useless.

I THINK nothing bad would happen if you put a lot of weight on a metal casing. It won't come crashing down onto the Cisco's board. It might warp somewhat with time. Try to place the weight evenly near both of Cisco's sides.
