If I used 2 shelves arranged side by side, is it strong enough to support a 20 pound microwave?

I find it very sturdy. I think it will work and work well. But I don't think it was made to support all the weight.

These shelves are amazingly strong. You can support your microwave without worries.

I believe that would work fine. The shelf is very sturdy. And the 20 pounds would be spread over the area of the 2 shelves. Good luck.

It's sturdy enough to hold a small microwave. Tf measurements are in line with the table, it would work.

The shelves are just two L shaped brackets. They are pretty sturdy. I have a DVD player and cable box on mine and it's plenty strong enough for me. Depends how big and heavy they are.

Technically yes,but shelf will be very wobbly. You need two shelves to make it stable.

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 believe it would be sturdy enough. We have a microwave on the lower shelf and a Keurig with a "Keurig carousel" on the top. The cabinet doesn't budge when we use either appliance.

Yes, I know it can. I had the same question as you did when I first purchased them, and I was nervous that the shelves would not hold. They do. While typing I am looking at them right now and the shelves are strong. A suggestion that I have is, put the heavier books on the bottom shelf, and the shelf that is the 2nd one up, because these shelves are secured to the sides. In addition to being a college student, I am also a school teachers. I put my teachers edition textbooks on these shelves, and They are holding up fine. Actually most of my books are hardback that are on the shelves. I am very pleased with how these shelves look and how they hold their weight.

Absolutely. This piece is very well put together. You will be surprised at how incredibly stable it is once you put it together (which is easier done on the floor or on a table). I purchased a second unit and actually put one on top of the other while I reorganized the basement. Still no problem and no fear of collapse. I'm sure it would support a small appliance like a microwave without a problem.

I think it would be strong enough to hold a small microwave. The shelf is supported by metal L-shaped brackets that peg into holes on the inside of the table sides. It is really quite strong and sturdy. However, the shelf is not as wide as the rest of the table, it is only about 10 1/2" deep and there is only about 10 1/8" of height to the top.

Yes, the average size microwave will fit and it is definitely sturdy enough. I keep various small appliances on the rack and find it to be very sturdy.

No. I agree with the reviewer who suggested using a shelf with support brackets. It's going to be heavy when it's filled with spices.

it's sturdy enough but don't think shelves would be deep enough(maybe a SMALL microwave)

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.

Without seeing the pans it is a difficult question to answer. However my best guess is that the shelves would hold good-sized pans. I am assuming they are not in the 20 pound range.

The base shelf and middle shelf on the larger half would be good for small appliance storage. They have a little extra support in them. However, all the shelves are quite sturdy and can easily hold about 25 or 30 lbs.

Item description currently says "Each shelf can support up to 75 pounds for those hefty audio components."So according to that, 65 pounds will be fine.

I would not use this rack for a microwave. The shelf is not very deep, a foot at most, and too lightweight.
