Is the piece sturdy enough to hold a microwave on the main shelf?

Yes, I would think that this is study enough to support a microwave on the main shelf especially since the entire item has a weight of 85 lbs.

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.

It is very sturdy. We have a microwave and toaster and several other items on ours and it does fine.

It's pretty sturdy, but I think each shelf's weight limit is 10 pounds. I wouldn't try a TV on it.

Uncertain of maximum recommended weight, but the piece is very sturdy and appears to be able to take a significant amount of weight such as heavier amplifier, books, etc. There is a solid surface under the tempered glass. I have a 55 inch TV and a number of TV and stereo components on the middle and bottom shelves and it easily accommodates.

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!

No, a microwave would probably cause the shelf to bend significantly. I would put items on the shelf that are probably under 5-10 lbs per shelf.

Although this shelving is sturdy (as stated earlier, can hold a small microwave) they do not appear to be made for stacking due to wire shelves.

I believe it would support the average microwave. It's surprisingly sturdy and really nice. I'm thrilled with it.

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.

I'm not sure how much weight this will hold but I have a small flat screen tv on one shelf and my Bose stereo system on a shelf plus some pottery pieces in a shelf also. I think it would hold quite a bit. I really love this shelf in my kitchen.

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 is certainly sturdy enough--you will want something solid underneath the mixer (like a sheet of metal,(even a cookie sheet) or a sheet of plywood) so the feet don't fall through the gaps in the wire shelving.

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