Holds a standard size counter top microwave? Is there enough clearance before the shelf? Does anyone use it like this? Pros and cons please. Thank you

My microwave is 12" tall and there is still 3/4" to first shelf. I hope this helps.

I have 20 year old microwave that sits on mine. The microwave just fits. From looking at the other answers on this item it's between 12 1/2 inches to 13 inches from the base to the first shelf. Hope this helps!

There is 13 inches clearance between the counter and the wire shelf above it. The counter is 17 inches front to back. I don't use mine for a microwave, as I have a built-in unit. I have a plant, a tea caddie, a teapot, and a decorative bottle on the shelves. My kitchen area is small so this baker's rack provides extra storage that I need. I use the drawers for tea, bread, dish towels, and treats. I love this rack! It is pretty and very functional.

I have my kitchenaide food processer in the lower shelf. It seems to be holding up well. The mixer is taller and may not fit.

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.

My microwave cut-out is 17.5" deep. The front sticks out almost 2" but that doesn't bother me. So you could technically put it on a 17" deep shelf but the front will stick out about 2.5".

I think you would probably have a problem using this in a cabinet like that. Mine is in a cabinet to the right of my microwave. Plus, I don't know how tall you are, but I would also have a problem if it was above my microwave because of how high it would be. I moved my cabinet stuff around to make it fit in a cabinet where it was convenient and easily assessible. Hope this helps!!

I have a large and incredibly heavy microwave on mine. It takes up the entire top surface and there is no problem. I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer and it weighs much less so I think that you should be fine.

I have a full size microwave on top and no problems - underneath paper towels and aluminum foil, handi wrap, etc. Very sturdy and great look. lots of compliments!

This is small for our above the stove microwave. It's like 7" x 4" or such. Sounds too small for your needs?

You should have just enough clearance. I measured mine how I think you would use it and it measures about 9-1/4 inches. I would think the main concern would be your pans. You will want to make sure they can fit in that space on their side. I hope this helps.

The shelf is 23 1/2 inches wide by about 13 inches tall. Our microwave is fairly big and it fits perfectly on the shelf.

When TV is open, you need 12 3/4 inches. My space from bottom of top cupboard to counter top is 18 inches and TV fits fine. Just know that the TV will not stay up in closed position. However I have had no other problems with it and have had it for 2years.

No! I thought you wanted to put microwave in cabinet. Open and closed shelves approximately 11" wide and 15" deep. Works nice as an island. Top is 19X26 1/2. No electrical connection either. Good luck.

Sorry, I had to return it due to not fitting under counter. Can't be of help.

The wooden shelf is 23 1/2 inches wide and 16 inches deep. I don't think this microwave would fit.

You got teased a bit� I hope you got the answers you needed. I love it. One reason is because it takes up considerably less space on the countertop. My 7 inch knives fit.

It would be great on top but there is a 16 inch clearance on the highest shelf. My mixer is 17 inches tall. It will not fit.

This works for me by using the top shelf for big jars and cans. The other shelves are too narrow for them. Standard size jars and cans fit on the lower two with no problems. I keep the unit pulled forward toward the front of my cabinet to assure the room for the big stuff even if there needs to be some overhang.
