How much weight can the top surface hold? Is it good to have a microwave on top of the cabinet?

I don't know how much weight this modular unit can hold but think it can hold a microwave as long as you use the fasteners that come with it to use on the back wall.

I don't think I would do that. They are two thin pieces of wood with some sort of filler between them. There is too much action around a microwave. They are not that solid.

It's pretty sturdy. I use it in my basement to house a lot of my home-office supplies and have placed many things on top. I'm not certain if the heat generated from a microwave will be helpful for longevity purposes, but I do believe it is strong enough to hold a medium sized one.

I have these set up with about 50 lbs on each. I use them for a sewing room so no microwave but I have a lot of stuff in them and they do not bend at all.

I guess it would depend on the weight and depth of the microwave. It holds my large stereo receiver which weighs approximately 28 lbs. To be safe I'd place it over one of the vertical supports. It's a nice cabinet for the price.

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

The very top is slanted not flat. It would not hold a microwave. It is also is pretty narrow.

My TV weighs 90 lbs. Easily supports that on top shelf. Don't know max weight.

I wouldn't add anything too heavy on top of this cabinet. It's not designed to hold much more than normal items.

this could be top-heavy with microwave on top or second from top shelf. do not put wheels on it to improve weight capacity and stability. I love Origami racks and highly recommend them.

It will hold a microwave on the top shelf and whole bunch of containers with flour sugar and cereals. I would definitely put a s much weight as poss on the 2nd and 3rd shelf if you are putting something heavy on top, to keep things balanced. I love unit!

I have mine set up similar to the photo, I do not thing the very top is wide enough to support a microwave. Also I do not recommend buying this product it's every cheap and difficult to put together.

It is not scientific at all, but it will hold my weight (175 lbs.) I tested it for you by sitting on top and standing with my feet on the bottom shelf. I do not usually have this much weight on it, but I have never hesitated to load up whatever I wanted to put on it when preparing food or serving wine and snacks. It's great. I love it for extra prep space. It's perfect kitchen counter height, the wheels are sturdy and roll right over tile floors without catching in the grout lines, and it cleans up beautifully with mild soap and water. I don't put that much weight on it as a general rule, and I would put down a solid board on the shelves before putting much weight on them. It was assembled well, so I have not had it fall apart on me. I use it almost every day.

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.

I am sorry, I really cannot answer this question. I bought this as a gift, so I do not have it. I do know that a microwave was placed on the larger shelf and the top shelf is about half that size. Can set quite a few things on the top shelf. Hope this is somewhat helpful. It is a nice cabinet and great for the purpose.

I have a large and incredibly heavy microwave on mine. It takes up the entire top surface and there is no problem. I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer and it weighs much less so I think that you should be fine.

yes, it can be hold but it will not last long time, the material is not real wood. I put light stuff top of the shelf, not Microwave.

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 would say yes, it does not take up much room and it hold a lot. You will need a power strip because it does not accommodate a 3 prong microwave plug, but the power strip works great because u can plug in several appliances.

I have my microwave on it - it is fairly large - the cart is pretty solid - I don't know how much weight for sure, but it is a sturdy cart.
