How much weight can I put on the bakers rack. Need to store medium size microwave and a few small appliances. Thanks!

I'm using mine for plants, but seems sturdy enough for a microwave and other appliances.

I don't really know but I store a large crockpot and a deep fryer on the bottom shelf, a George Foreman grill and an electric skillet on the shelf 2nd from the bottom, a toaster and another large crockpot on the wooden shelf, a toaster oven on the 2nd shelf and a blender and chopper on the top. It should hold the weight of a microwave as long as the size fits on the shelf.

I have a big toaster convection oven on the big shelf. Dog food canisters and lots of canned goods on the rest. It's very sturdy and strong. A nice piece. Looks good too. Do it!

It can easily handle that weight. It's attractive in our kitchen and other than some issues with it's shape when we had it delievered, it's a nice product for the price.

It is very sturdy. We have a microwave and toaster and several other items on ours and it does fine.

This bakers racks is relatively sturdy. I have a medium sized Kenmore microwave oven on the wooden rack. As well as about five glass casserole, pie dishes stored on the bottom rack, and six or seven various sized metal pans on the upper two. It seems to be able to hold these items just fine.

I have a huge microwave on top of my bakers rack and it's fine. Im sure a mixer would be fine - as a matter of fact the microwave since an inch out because it's so huge and we have other things on it and it sits sturdy.

There is 13 inches clearance between the counter and the wire shelf above it. The counter is 17 inches front to back. I don't use mine for a microwave, as I have a built-in unit. I have a plant, a tea caddie, a teapot, and a decorative bottle on the shelves. My kitchen area is small so this baker's rack provides extra storage that I need. I use the drawers for tea, bread, dish towels, and treats. I love this rack! It is pretty and very functional.

Hi, I decided to look further at my rack after Reading the other responses. The other posters are right. I see that several of my dividers have popped out from the weight of my cookie sheets. So I think they're probably right it would not be a good idea.

I'm not sure how much your Dutch oven weighs, so I can't give a definitive answer. My shelf this size has over 4 lbs on it with no problem. The wider version has more than 7 lbs on one side (less on the other) and you can see that the shelf is sagging slightly (less than 1/8") in the center, but it is still solid and in no danger of breaking or collapsing.

It should be able to hold that. I had my crockpot and other small kitchen appliances stored in mine without any issue.

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.

There is 3 racks/shelves so you could put one on each shelf. I would guess you could get 25 pounds in there total, maybe more.

I would hate to encourage you one way or the other; I don't know how heavy your microwave is. The island is sturdy and of very good quality. I don't know if that helps any.....

You can put a small microwave on it. I put lots of canned goods. A toaster, 3 or 4 gallon bottles of water it will hold a lot. Very sturdy

I don't know how that can be quantified exactly, but I would agree with everyone else that it is a very solid cart. I've had my KitchenAid stand mixer on it, and a microwave or other sort of countertop oven would easily be fine on it. I store small kitchen appliances on the shelves, such as my toaster, blender, rice maker, glass pitchers, colanders, etc. I wouldn't be particularly concerned about putting any typical kitchen item on this cart.

We did not put a mixer on our shelf, we placed a large toaster oven... I also added a lip on the back side of the shelf. However, we have not seen a need to attach the appliance to the shelf, with normal use, I would not secure the unit, itcuts down flexibility of the use of the appliance.

The rack is round, metal, and removable. You use it for the convection oven. The microwave uses a glass turntable.

it is 330. It should be able to support the weight. Check the dimensions of your microwave against the dimensions of the top of the table in the description.

I have it packed with books, cds, etc. I also have lots of things on top. Depending on size of microwave, I'm sure it will hold it.

I have the same shelves built Ionto my two-tier clothes rack (which is FULL). My shelves are holding shoes, jeans, shirts, and boxes of stuff. They can take quite a bit of weight but probably not for pantry use if needed for canned goods.

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