This small, two tier stand is perfect for housing my microwave and freeing up counter space. The frame is chrome-plated steel and is highly durable, handling the weight of the appliance easily, and it includes anti-skid feet. It was very easy to assemble with simple screw-in pieces. My single complaint is that the shelf is non-adjustable, and if it were just an inch taller, it could accommodate a wider range of countertop mixers on the bottom shelf. Its a strong, practical stand that is nearly perfect for its purpose.
