Is this unit strong enough to wire electrical sockets in the sides?

The sides and back of the main unit are made of 1/8" thin ply-board (solid base and columns provide support the sides and back are not load bearing), but the sides of the top are thicker and may be able to take an electrical box. Though you will need a shallow one so that you don't interfere with the drawer operation. Overall this is a very sturdy piece of furniture and I really like mine.

Possibly, but the side panels (behind the shelves) are thinner and not secured to the unit by fasteners/screws. As B. Fey said, it is a very sturdy unit! I absolutely love mine!

As a custom home builder not a cabinet maker I would say from what I saw in assembling the Kitchen Island that Yes is the Answer.

The sides are probably a little marginal for connecting electrical outlets into them, but they could be reinforced some.

Yes. The wires need to be bent back against the sides of the bulb so they make contact with the bulb holder pieces.

you can use the socket that would be above or below however if you have a muliti pronged "cheater" socket, then it will take up a socket that would be beside the unit. it is fat and it is designed to be streamelined on one plane so it does not eat up the socket below. you don't have a choice which socket to use because it is polarity priority, becasue of the fatter prong that grounds it. hope this makes sense.

If you mean to put this on top of the stove and use the top to set up your small appliances on, then yes. It is strong enough to support them. I have not used it that way as I don't have extra outlets there. But it would work.

no, this will work like a standard ac socket just with a digital switch. anything up to 1000w will work great.

Yes they are easily strong enough. Each ramp comes with two bolts and two nuts to connect them side by side so you do not need to buy mounting sockets.

Yes there is a slot in the base that allows the wires to exit from the side.

I would never do that. But if you don't have kids or pets or people to trip over it, it might work. I have 2 of those now and I rather have it in the socket the way it was designed.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I would imagine it would because there are tons of outlets on each side, but I don't want to mislead you if I am not sure.

Yes it will handle it. Be sure you use guy wires though. Excellent product.

After checking several sources - using Google - it does not appear that Side Socket has a UL rating...check for yourself and good luck! Not using the one I purchased - it did not fit well in the location where I needed it...

No. You can use bare wire with the screw type terminals although they are fairly close together. I'd recommended banana plugs though.

Yes as long as its solid wire I had to attach longer wire for my application .

My wife and I use ours daily and lobe it. Regarding your question, I would check with a reputable shop that sells electrical supplies. You want to make sure that anything between the unit and wall outlet will handle the electrical load without overheating.

Yes, but you will have to get creative about how you keep the wire up without grounding out.

yes, but they fall out of the sockets. I returned my unit because it was so slimsy and kept falling apart.

It definitely works pointing "sideways" (have a socket on the side of a garage wall).
