would this be sturdy enuf to hold a heavy stand mixer and a heavy food processor...ie, could this be used as an extra shelf on a cart?

I like mine very much, and it is sturdy. But I only use it as intended -- to get additional counter space by placing it over 2 burners of my stove. In that position, it has the full support of the stovetop, where you wouldn't have that on a cart.

Possibly. The side edges are held in place by small nails. We have three of these, and one side of one did detach. We reattached it easily with the additional of some wood glue and it is very sturdy. We use ours for an unconventional purpose too: We use three side by side to cover our stovetop burners, and thus add some additional 'counter space' to our kitchen. We have gotten many compliments on our creative use of space. Sometime I will have a rice mixer, a food processor or a blender on the board and they are definitely sturdy enough. However, we don't store our appliance on the boards.

I have put this on top of my stove to cover two of the burners. I have put my slow cooker on it and there hasn't been any problem in last two years.

Yes, yes, yes. I use it to cover my stove gas burners. It holds a double crock pot unit and is definitely strong enough to act as extra counter extension.

I think it would hold a mixer or food processor but to use as a shelf I don't know because it does not stand very high. But I really like mine.

Short answer is yes because the shelves are adjustable. I have a kitchen Aid that's about 17" tall. If I adjusted the shelves to accommodate it, the remaining lower shelf would have to be set at only about 7". Hence it won't look like the picture of the cart shown. you'll have one fairly tall shelf and one fairly short. Incidentally, I have mine configured that way with an even smaller lower shelf.

This shelf is pretty sturdy, so I would say yes. I use it to store all my textbooks (which can get pretty heavy).

I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. We use it for storage and as a stand for our waffle maker and sandwich press, or for a place to put the crock pot when in use. I love the cart because it gave us extra counter space but it is in no way shape or form sturdy enough for something that powerful. Hope that answered your question.

I can't answer this because I only used it for stereo equipment. The top shelf is glass but I think it should hold.

Yes this cart would work great, it is very sturdy and maneuvers well. My only knock against it is the collars that lock the shelves in place are a little fussy and it took me awhile to level the shelves. Once assembled I found it to be very sturdy and exceeded my expectations.

i have the 2 top shelves loaded with cookbooks and all of my kitchen appliances on the rest of shelves and is very sturdy for that hope this helps you

It is ABSLOLUTELY NOT designed for that. Shelf might be strong enough, but it would tip right over, in my opinion.

Hi., I don't use it for that type of purpose, but my guess would be yes, it should be sturdy enough. Make sure you lock the wheels of course.

It is certainly sturdy enough--you will want something solid underneath the mixer (like a sheet of metal,(even a cookie sheet) or a sheet of plywood) so the feet don't fall through the gaps in the wire shelving.

We would support the other comments. It's a big appliance that would lend itself to a built-in shelf, though best suited to a counter-top. Good luck with it -- hope your's isn't grinding like the two we had!

It is sturdy enough but the case of water would probably not site flat in the cart. You would likely have to stand the case of water on its side. Should be fine though.

It would be great on top but there is a 16 inch clearance on the highest shelf. My mixer is 17 inches tall. It will not fit.

Yes, this shelf is very sturdy. I've got it loaded with heavy appliances and it's not bowed and continues to slide easily.

I have a small microwave on the middle shelf. It seems to be incredibly sturdy. I think it will hold the convention oven and large microwave just fine!
1883734
It may hold the weight but it isn't super stable. A little wobbly. I think I would be hesitant to use it for a microwave stand.

probably not . middle and bottom shelf only have one bolt on each face, if you drilled and doubled up it might be alright. this is far from being a quality shelving cart , so don't expect much ... basically your getting what you pay for .
