Can this be used as butcher block on top and microwave on second shelf.

The opening is 18" wide, 10 1/2 " high and 10" deep, your microwave would need to be a small one.

The opening is 11 x 18, so it would need to be a pretty small microwave. The unit is sturdy though. I've got two.

If your microwave is tiny. The shelves below butcher. Block are pretty short.

The opening for the second shelf measure 17.5 w X 10.5 h x14 d. If your microwave is smaller than that, I don't see any other reason that it would not work.

Yes, you can and may I add...the piece is beautiful. I put it together all by myself. It serves as a server in my kitchen and goes well with my stainless steel appliances. I recommend this product because it is very solid, functional and most of all...looks good!

I have a reg size microwave and I put it on top and use the middle for cookbooks.

I wouldn't use it as a cutting board. It will end up looking trashy. It is not one solid butcher block. I live in Colorado where it is extremely dry, the wood is cracking in a couple of places because of the lack of humidity. The cracks would create a germ haven if I used it as a cutting board.

I don't think so because the holes for the pieces.are pre-drilled. You'd end up with a tiny shelf space at the bottom and a huge shelf space at the top.

It would be hard, and to be honest the butcher block is the best part of the kitchen island. The rest is not solid wood, some part might be because it is heavy but the sides are def. compress wood. It not terrible quality but for the price it could be better.

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.

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.

You can use it as a butcher block. I mostly use it for rolling out bread or simple things. For serious chopping I prefer to use a separate cutting board because I don't want to stain the wooden surface. I also don't like to mix things like meats and vegetables on the same surface to keep things really safe in the kitchen. I seriously LOVE this cabinet.

Yes I have a very heavy microwave on it now. I purchased this table for this purpose. The microwave does take up most of the top shelf.

If you mean the very top of the unit, I'd say yes but Id glue or fasten permanently some of the middle shelves for stability. Otherwise it might want to sway. The top shelf is quite thick which is good.

Absolutely, that's exactly what I did except my toaster oven is on the lower shelf and microwave on top. There is a cut-out hole for the wires for the unit on the lower shelf.

Yes, and yes... You will be quite happy with this butcher block... Also, at the current price of $42, buy it. I paid about $65 when I purchased and was quite happy then... At $42 I am considering another.

I haven't tried that although I wouldn't recommend it because the top has vents to let steam out and I don't think you'd want to block those by stacking them. Hope that helps. If your microwave has a cooking rack then you could probably put one on bottom and one on rack but that would probably affect cooking time.

Hi Andrea,We have put our microwave on top on of the"cupboard". Also, it does have a low grade finish. So far, everything is working out very well. :)

Our granite guy mounted with block supports and a very strong epoxy. I would think under butcher block you could drill brackets right into the countertop for additional support

I don't know, but we live in a dry climate and a couple of parts of the butcher block are separating. You will definitely need a true cutting board on top. I love wouldn't cut directly on the attached block.
