Can this be safely used with the middle shelf removed? If so, what would the H" be between the top of the drawer and bottom of the microwave shelf?

Removing the middle shelf may make it un-sturdy, not sure. The height from the drawer to the 3rd shelf is 29 1/2"

Yes you can remove the shelf. The dimensions of the middle shelving unit are 18.25"W x 14"D x 17"H.

Yes, I have about the same setup -- on top of the fridge/freezer with a high cabinet above. The power cord is on the upper back right and makes it stick out about another 1.5" from the wall BUT the feet are set back 2" from the front. The microwave is 11" deep, so you have about 10.5" between the cabinet and the feet. Your 12" shelf should work just fine.

I think leaving the middle shelf out would compromise the stability of the table. You would have to use two diagonal board across the back to keep the table stable.

There is a little over 13.25 inches between the two shelves. That is where we put our microwave, no on the top shelf.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I was gone a few days. I have mine on my kitchen counter, so it is open on 2 sides. I have about 6" from the top of the unit to the bottom of my cabinet. I have it pulled out about 3" from the wall behind it. I didn't find anything in the book about it, but just used common sense, and it has been working fine, no problems.

The shelf unit is flatpacked; each divider, the bottom and back are separate pieces which you need to screw together....so yes, you could just use the middle divider. It is a solid "chunky" unit and i am very happy with it.

My unit was the same - probably due to the close clearances of the design. I'm planning on using a small dab of petroleum jelly along the runners to see if that helps. In my case, it's a good thing - helps ensure the drawer isn't bumped and comes out accidentally.

Mandy - I am not sure of the size of the space. This is in my daughter's apartment but I do know that they put their microwave on the main shelf.

You should be able to take that shelf out. It not as long as you have the clearance under the shelf you should be good toninstall this and use the top shelf.

You might be able to fit two reams if you do it right. There's a little plastic piece that gets screwed into the bottom side of the top of the table which keeps the shelf from coming out too far. I did not install this piece, so I can pull the drawer out all the way if I want. If you want to keep reams of paper in here, I suggest not installing this piece as well.

The shelves are only 17-1/2" wide. The upper two shelves are only 8" deep. The lower shelves are just over 11" deep. You might fit a small toaster oven in there, but I would be surprised if you have a microwave small enough to fit. Mine holds cookbooks and a small basket of accessories. I have a plant on the top shelf.

There is a 1"x1" protrusion on the left corner of the back of the microwave, that either protects the cord, or allows air to circulate through the rear vents. If the protrusion wasn't added, the microwave would measure 11 1/2" deep. However, it measures nearly, but not quite, 13" on that left corner. In any case, I think a 12" shelf might be somewhat unstable, as the microwave can slide around. I have a rubber mat under mine to keep it from traveling. And I use a gentle touch opening and closing the door. Other than that, I love the little critter for heating/reheating, popcorn, potatoes--and other simple cooking tasks...Not for gourmet cooking in my opinion.

I have a small microwave on the middle shelf. It seems to be incredibly sturdy. I think it will hold the convention oven and large microwave just fine!

The middle shelf can be removed, it just sits on small metal supports spaced around the sides and the back of the unit. With the middle shelf out you have about 20 inches of space from the bottom shelf to the top shelf until you hit the one inch tall support bar under the front of the top shelf, and about 21 inches behind that support.

No, the top part can not be removed -- just the thin lid can. However, mine fits under the counter with plenty of room to spare. On the other hand, it doesn't fit inside any of my cabinets.
