Would it be safe to place a microwave on this shelf? I have a one that also has a pizza oven in it. So was wondering it would be safe for use?

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.

Yes, it should be safe. The racks are made of steel, so fire won't be a hazard. I would put a sheet of tempered glass or sheet metal beneath it, however. That would provide stability and an even surface for appliances to rest on. You could mount a power strip on one of the shelves, and you're good to go.

if i were attaching a power strip i would twist tye it with tyes that would hold up and be electrical proof vs electric strip on metal with some twist tyes that have a metal strip in the tye --- just a suggestion:-)

Hi, I'm pretty sure it's made of metal, so you would not want to use it in a microwave. I use it for an extra shelf in my RV cabinets.

Yes you can! Currently, I have a two-slicer toaster oven on the top shelf. I also store snack like granola bar boxes, chips and cookie bins. This is a great bakers rack!

We haven't put anything heavy on ours, but it seems like it should be fine with an average microwave. Hey if it doesn't work for that, take my word; you will discover about thirty more uses for it once you get your hands on one lol. We've bought 4 so far for the kitchen and I intend to get a few more for spring organizing in my shop. You could even take the doors off and use it for a cat tower lounge, the possibilities are endless, we love these

Yes, you can put a small microwave on the top shelf. It is very sturdy and big enough.

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.

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!

I wouldn't do that, this unit is to heavy for that. Appliance stores sell a microwave that does go over the oven, but you're talking over $500.00.We purchased a corner cabinet that this microwave fits into, and by doing this we got a nice looking cabinet with above and below storage. Hope this helped.

This model is a commercial microwave and they are never built-in or hanging from a cabinet in restaurant applications. Perhaps a household model is what you need.

Hi, I have my microwave on top. However I put a safe grip microfiber lining on it. To prevent microwave to slip.. it's a great item. Easy ro assemble following the instructions. .

I suppose if you're using a "stand-alone" microwave (not installed in kitchen cabinetry, etc.) a surge protector makes sense. The ISOBAR unit is pretty bullet-proof when it comes to surge/line noise protection, and should work fine to protect your microwave....or anything else.

Mine is kept in a shelf about 2 feet above the range. woks this well with no problems. eventually my microwave started turning on/off/making sounds independently and had to be replaced. not sure why this occurred.

Hi, there. We are remodeling our kitchen and I can't find anything. Interesting, this is my third one in 35 years and never put it in the microwave, always the oven. I'll get back to you when I find it. I know it would not fit in my smaller microwave.

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.

I have a full size microwave on top and no problems - underneath paper towels and aluminum foil, handi wrap, etc. Very sturdy and great look. lots of compliments!

Mine is full of Calphalon cookware and big cookbooks. I am not sure it is wide enough to put a microwave on.
