Is this sturdy enough to put my small printer on top? Can the wheels be locked?

You should be able to put a small printer on top. The wheels do not lock. It might be most stable without the wheels.

It is sturdy enough to put home printer. There is no wheel locking mechanism, however, the wheels are not "high quality" super smooth ones, weight of cabinet and its contents make it steady enough so it won't move easily.

It is plenty study for a small printer. Honestly, I'm not using the casters, so I don't know if they will lock or not. My only problem with the cabinet is that there is nothing to keep the files vertical if the drawer is not full. There is not a divider, a spring bar, a support or anything else that serves to hold the file folders up in use position.

I think it should hold up a small printer. I'd have to check on whether wheels can be locked. But actually, I have all my paperwork in it and it barely moves so I doubt it will slide that easily anyway.

Not at all. I have my printer on it and it's very sturdy. I would think with the weight of a sewing machine, it would be very sturdy.

You should be able to. I have my 24 inch monitor on it (which weighs quite a bit) and it seems capable of handling a whole lot more. Just be sure the top surface is big enough to support the printer. 20lbs should be fine.

You could likely do that. It depends on the weight of the printer. It is fairly sturdy, but realistically it is made of cardboard and aluminum. The shipment process damaged it to the point that I had to return it (I assume from being dropped and packaged poorly). Hope that helps.

i would not recommend it because at its present height it can just about handle the weight and vibration of a typical printer. I think it would most likely become unstable; I.e., very wobbly, handling the printer weight in a further stacked configuration, Plus, although not a big deal, you would not be able to use the second drawer because that is part of the top shelf only. I would recommend side by side or look for a unit specifically designed with additional stacked shelves.

a small one yes but it's not made for that. you can however remove the shelf and place a printer in place of it.

uh...if the cabinet is completely full..you should be ok but if its only partially full then no, it will topple over. Also, if you put it next to something to help stabilize it, that will be fine. If its a regular size printer then it will fit on top just fine...but I'm not sure about the bigger printers. This is definably NOT a flimsy file cabinet..its actually really nice for the money. I plan to purchase another one.

I think it would be fine, depending on the dimensions of your printer. It's certainly sturdy enough IMO - I have a Keurig commercial 1-cup coffeemaker and toaster on the top shelf, middle shelf is a microwave oven, bottom shelf is a bowl for fruit, etc., and it isn't tippy or anything.

I have this bookshelf in my home and have loaded it with a ton of random items. Each shelf has a collection of books in varying weights and I have a box of toys on top. With all this the book shelf doesn't even jiggle. I would think it would be able to support your printer. I do have it against a wall though so there may be additional support given by the wall. I cannot vouch for a free standing bookshelf.

Yes very sturdy. I'm using it to hold very heavy books. This is a great product and looks as advertised

You could easily place two printers on this desk. I would not put more than 30 lbs on this desk.

It is surprisingly sturdy and balanced, if it is an ink jet it might wobble when it is printing. It wouldn't fall over.I have a 3 year old visitor that uses it as a personal table and she hasn't had any issues with tipping.the base is really solid. I put a round placemat on it and if you put a printer on it, you might want to put one on it too.

being made of metal the cabinet is pretty sturdy.A printer may actually stabilize it better if you have a lot of items in the filing drawermy 2c

I think so! I have a large printer on top of mine, as well as nearly a full ream of paper in each of the slots. Plus, at any given time, I have things stacked on top of my printer which adds even more weight. This is a sturdy little stand!!

No. It can hold only light items. It could hold paperback books, for example, but not hefty textbooks. When I tried to use the shelves this way, they out and stripped the supports in such a way as to be no longer usable. A full size printer would be too heavy.

Don't know why not. The wheels have locks no worry about moving. I am very happy with my computer desk, had for a few a few years now.

It could be used for DVDs and scrapbooks. I think it seems sturdy -- I can sit on it with no problem (I weigh 124 lbs).
