how much weight can this hold on top? I'd like to put this in our kitchen to hold microwave and toaster oven...do you think it can support it?

The weight of the appliances won't be an issue. My bf weighs about 200lbs and he's had to climb on it a few times. Personally, I would put a table runner or a mat of some sort under the appliances just to protect the surface from the heat.

We use ours as a coffee bar in our leasing office. I think it would be sturdy enough, I would just wonder if the heat from the appliances would warp or damage the particle board.

Yes, it def can support a microwave or toaster on top... I've put few bottles of wines + set of china, plates, glass, etc... They all add up to considerable weight. I'd recommend it to spend time on the installation and use the wedges inserts on the back. That's the key, for structural stability.

My wife has stood on it to hang things above it and she weighs around 100lbs. So I wouldn't worry about having those appliances in top of it.

It should be able to support those items. I have a 2 cubic foot microwave and a 6 quart stand mixer on mine.

The top shelf is about 1.5 ft from the second one down. They are made of particle board laminate. We have a toaster on the second shelf from the top which we can crank to high and both shelves are fine. If you're going to place the toaster oven on the second shelf from the top, it depends how tall it is. You would probably want to have a bit of space for airflow. I believe it can handle it though.

it's pretty sturdy i'm sure it will hold a microwave, I use it as a book shelf by my pc desk and it has prob almost 10lbs of weight on it things on all three shelves. Be careful putting it together though, the metal bars are pretty sharp and I cut myself a few times screwing them on. Hope that helps!

It holds a lot of weight with no problem. I had no problems with a toaster oven, crockpot and nuwave induction cooktop sitting on the table at the same time along with adding food items and 12-packs of beverages. It's quite strong, but could probably be knocked over easily because of the skinny legs. We had it sitting against a wall and not in the line of traffic. and it worked great.

I believe it would support the average microwave. It's surprisingly sturdy and really nice. I'm thrilled with it.

I wouldn't recommend this for holding anything heavy. I use it for small items in the nursing home where I work. It isn't strong enough to hold a microwave safely.

I'm not sure if it would hold the weight. Also the way the lid flaps open might not work. I only have one so I truly can't answered

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!

Definitely. I had a stacked microwave topped with toaster oven on this cart for 2 years with no problem. They were even pushed back over the drop-leaf part which is technically less sturdy. Even survived a minor earthquake without incident. The cart is still in great condition. I put a plastic mat under the microwave to protect the butcher block from crumbs and gunk.

This shelf is very sturdy but i really don't know about a microwave........I use it in a cabinet that holds blender, food processer, mini chopper etc about 5 electronics with no trouble at all....if that gives you an idea about how much it can hold.

We haven't put anything heavy on ours, but it seems like it should be fine with an average microwave. Hey if it doesn't work for that, take my word; you will discover about thirty more uses for it once you get your hands on one lol. We've bought 4 so far for the kitchen and I intend to get a few more for spring organizing in my shop. You could even take the doors off and use it for a cat tower lounge, the possibilities are endless, we love these

It holds quite well. Just don't overload it with dishes bc it will not fit causing the dishes or pot to fall over. Trust me i tried to overload it with pots and dish..my pots were falling over. :)

The top shelf it's mabe of wood and if you say the toaster get very hot, you decided. But it's strong enough to hold my microwave

This is build pretty well in my opinion and will definitely hold the weight you describe inside. I would imagine it would on top as well but I have not tried it.

Right now mine is holding a large toaster, heavy knife set, blender and griddle. Definitely deep/tall enough. My heavy stuff went on bottom shelf and cutting board shelf. Works great :)

Hold yes.......shake side to side due to lack of 'X' frame stability....very questionable. Secure it to the wall in your case, would not use it hold a microwave in free standing setting.

It's a sturdy piece of furniture. It should hold a TV with no problem. I'm not sure exactly what the weight rating is for this, but I'd say t hat any TV that will fit on top of it will be no problem. And if you're talking about a plasma or LCD TV, I don't think they make one that's too heavy for it.
