Would this file cabinet be sturdy enough to hold a scanner/printer on top of it? I have an inexpensive HP Deskjet 2050.

If this is the type of printer/scanner you'd buy from Office Max, etc., then yes, it is sturdy enough. It is a pretty solid cabinet.

Yes. I put some books and files (Almost 12 lbs) on top ths cabinet and seems to be strong enough to hold.

I think you could fit a small all-in-one printer on the shelf above the file drawer but I don't think the printer could have paper sticking out of the top of it and be inside the cabinet.

Yes the bookshelf is sturdy enough if your printer would fit however; my concern would be how your power cord in the back of the printer/scanner would effect the overall fit as each shelf is boxed or framed in.

It is plenty study for a small printer. Honestly, I'm not using the casters, so I don't know if they will lock or not. My only problem with the cabinet is that there is nothing to keep the files vertical if the drawer is not full. There is not a divider, a spring bar, a support or anything else that serves to hold the file folders up in use position.

It would depend on the size of the printer. It would possibly hold a smaller printer.

It's extremely sturdy and well built. It doesn't rock or shake at all. I don't see it having any issues holding a printer.

I think it would be fine, depending on the dimensions of your printer. It's certainly sturdy enough IMO - I have a Keurig commercial 1-cup coffeemaker and toaster on the top shelf, middle shelf is a microwave oven, bottom shelf is a bowl for fruit, etc., and it isn't tippy or anything.

Yes. I keep heavy files in them and they do just fine. It is well made and sturdy. I would keep the heavier items in the bottom drawer to keep it from being top heavy.

It is not real wood except the door and drawer fronts. Yes there is room for a printer if it it is smaller and does not have a lid on top to open to scan or copy. I guess you could eliminate the cubby holes while putting it together. Call their customer support, they are great. For the price it is a great desk. Again customer support is fantastic.

Hello, Darlene! I believe the shelf immediately above the main shelf would accommodate the printer so long as it isn't more than 13" in length, but I don't think it would secure the weight too well.--Some of the screws do not align well with the pre-drilled holes; consequently that particular shelf is not very stable.

I have a printer on top of one of mine. I think it would be fine if there's no chance of it being bumped into.

a small one yes but it's not made for that. you can however remove the shelf and place a printer in place of it.

I think it probably had hollow core door s or something. I am not sure I'd think it was sturdy enough to hold printer/fax machine. They are not extremely heavy duty, but they look good in a closet.

I have a monitor on top of mine and would place my Epson workforce 845 All In One on top of this unit as well. I believe that it would hold 30 lbs., as it is made to interlock as a unit.

Both doors open and top shelf pulls out(glides very smooth). We did fit our large printer inside. But we decided to keep it on top. We print quite often and unless we kept the doors left open, the paper would scrunch up when coming out of printer. We are very happy with the quality of the cabinet and it looks great in our office!

Oh definately that is what I actually use it for. Just don't think that it will act like an actual desk the laptop and an organizer cup will fit and hold well, but not much else. There is enough space underneth for a small printer. Hope this helps.

Not at all. I have my printer on it and it's very sturdy. I would think with the weight of a sewing machine, it would be very sturdy.
