Will a 55 pound microwave be able to reside on the top shelf?

The only place this stand needs to be is in the dumpster. I wouldn't put a spoon on it. Very cheap

I used mine at the office for my microwave and storage. If you are talking about sturdy you will have no problems. Very high quality. It will hold a ton of weight.

Unless microwave is very heavy unit is strong enough. But I would question stability.

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.

I have a microwave on top, but the lower shelves only hold the microwave type pots. The microwave is a medium size, not the small ones

yes. I think I have placed it in the top rack and the lower shelf. If you have any concerns, put it on the top shelf only.

I don't think that would be a problem. I have a large pot on the top shelf and smaller pots on the other ones. This thing is pretty sturdy.

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!

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

The width of the space between the legs (where the shelf is) measures 22". So it would need to be a smaller microwave.

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.

I'm not at all qualified to answer this question at all, and cannot be held responsible for incorrect information. My somewhat educated guess is that as long as it's distributed evenly across the shelf and not at a single point, it should be fine.

The base is nearly as large as the top. You should have no problem with a wire shelf.

If you are talking about the wood top shelf the answer is yes! You could even put a kitchenaid mixer on it too w/ the oven! It's very sturdy.

I don't think it would be able to support the weight for long without warping the top shelf.

Depends. My microwave is too large for the top shelves, and the lower ones are too low for convenient use. I reckon the same would be true for a toaster oven. This rack is really one of the smaller one. Fits my space. I use the upper shelves for daily use stuff, and the lower ones for storage of things that used to be on the counter.

Currently we have stacked on this unit - bottom shelf Pyle receiver ~15 lbs, next shelf up - amplifier ~ 10 lbs, next shelf up approximately 50 vinyl albums ~ 10 lbs, next shelf up - record player ~ 5 lbs, top shelf - 16" computer monitor and stand ~ 7 lbs. If you balance your weight at the bottom of the unit, I believer 35 lbs on top will be ok. However, I do believe there is limit per shelf and a quick call to Whalen or their website should tell you what the weight limit is, I want to say the instructions indicated 50 lbs per shelf is the limit. But I would double check that.
