AVF Steel Universal Wall-Mounted Microwave Brackets in Black (Set of 2)

We have a large 1.6 cubic feet panasonic microwave (about 22" x 20" x 12") that weighs almost 40 lbs and these brackets are working perfectly to hold it up off the counter! It's been about 2 months so far and we use the microwave many times a day. There have been no issues, it's holding up great with no sagging or anything else.To solve the problem people have with the brackets being slippery, we simply stuck some clear cabinet bumper pads on the top of the brackets. They are nonslip and hold the heavy microwave right where we put it. No slipping at all - it hasn't moved at all being used probably hundreds of times already. Very quick, easy and simple solution.You do have to be aware of what the underside of your microwave looks like - ours has all sorts of obstacles that we had to avoid so we couldn't have them at equal distance from each side of the microwave. To compensate for one side being heavier than the other (it was pulling down the bracket more on the left side due to the little bit of extra weight on on that side), we simply put thicker bumpers underneath the heavier side to give it an extra lift so now it looks level.To solve our own problem of wanting to use this in a corner, we made some spacers out of scrap wood so we had a solid surface that was parallel to the back of the microwave to attach the brackets to (photo attached). It's a great solution to be able to keep the microwave in the corner where we're used to having it.I did a super budget friendly paint-and-hardware-only kitchen upgrade - I couldn't handle looking at our orange, red, green and flesh colored kitchen for another day, but we aren't ready for a real kitchen remodel yet - no replacing appliances was allowed. But then of course our microwave died and we had to get a new one to survive - which wound up being much bigger than our old one. This really makes the limited counter space feel more spacious and it's very easy to clean underneath and around the microwave now. Win/win.Overall these brackets are SUPER STURDY, well made and if it can hold our giant microwave I'm sure it can hold pretty much any microwave. And if you are installing them on a pre-existing wall and not on a corner installation will be much easier and simpler than what we had to do for our special corner mount (but just wanted to let people know that's possible to do too). We are very pleased with them and would recommend them. Hope this helps you make a more informed decision!

Make sure you look at the underside of your microwave before you install this. Based on our space, we had to use a board instead of installing directly on the stand. However, it was easy to put up and still holding tight a few months in! Love the counter space it gives back.

Serves it purpose and cleared counter space. Not really an elegant design but functional. Have a semi skill set before you install or call someone to help.

Heaven help me, I'm actually going to admit this.... I did not buy this for a microwave. We needed a weight rated bracket system on which to set a flat-bottom trash bin, in order to hang it on the wall over a washing machine in a kitchen and still be able to slide it to one side to open the washing machine without having to disassemble a whole shelf. Basically, this works. The brackets are sturdy, well designed, straight and load bearing but also wide enough to make a nice flat surface for the bin, when it is sitting there, without being so wide that I can't open the washer lid when I have moved the bin exposing those permanently installed braces. What makes these load bearing, and better than most on the market, is that they are designed like kitchen cabinets, to direct the downward pressure back onto the drywall, distributing the pressure across the little vertical "L" portion of the horizontal piece of each brace which, then distributes the pressure across the whole of the separate vertical back piece, the piece that rests flat against the wall. If you look at the pictures, you can see the vertical wall-resting piece is long and has about a third of it filled with the up-turned portion of the horizontal piece. This weight and pressure distribution system is effective and is how we have hung our upper kitchen cabinets, distributing pressure against the wall, to such wonderful results, for so long. These were more than enough for the large trash bin and appear to me sturdy enough for an appliance, so long as the weight guidelines and installation instructions are followed. Good luck finding the one that fits your need.

Very sturdy. I misjudge the size of my new microwave this was the solution.

Wow. So, where to begin? Well, the pictures tell the story. I received this product with literally both of the brackets looking like this. And I took the pictures AFTER I beat them senseless with a hammer to try and straighten them. If I had actually mounted these, my new toaster oven would have been sitting so badly slanted that it would have been unusable.On top of all of this, these brackets were impossible to put together - instead of drilling and tapping into the brackets so they could be put together with regular machine screws, they provide bolts and nuts. This would otherwise be fine if you had hands the size of a three year old, as it was physically impossible for me to hold the nut while threading the bolt into it in such a tiny space.The fact that a company could send out such trash is incredibly alarming. They either can't afford a quality control department, or their QC is so poor that they didn't catch this disaster before it got sent out. Either way, this was simply unacceptable.The quality of steel seemed adequate and the welds were perfect, it's simply just an unusable product due to how badly bent these brackets were. These brackets were built to serve one simple purpose, and they fail to do that. It's almost unbelievable.Stay far away unless you feel like rolling the dice and perhaps getting better quality than I did...or worse...

Pain in the butt to put up. Despite being completely level, the adjustable legs made it wobbly and off center. Very ugly too— just get a deep shelf tbh. Ended up using the Velcro to attach a cutting board on top of the L brackets to give a more sturdy base, with some added non slip mats. I would return if I didnt have to fill in all the big holes I put in the wall to get this set up

Fantastic. Easy to install. We used toggle bolts as recommended by other reviewers. Sturdy. 20min work.

Leí que los soportes son endebles y se movían mucho y si, antes de colocar los hornos se mueven mucho, pero creo que es natural por el material de los mismos que son de metal. Una vez puestos los hornos encima, no se movían. Se perciben resistentes y sin fácil de instalar. Al principio adquirí un juego y al ver que el material era resistente, compré el segundo. De los que vi por Internet creo que estos son los que tienen la mejor relación costo beneficio.

Va bene ma non mette il forno in Bolla occorrono piedini per aggiustare la bolla.

Great product

A major component was missing, very annoyed. This could of been avoided if the packer checked before Sealing the parcel. Now the item requires re ordering. Waiting for a refund, running around to return the item. Really nothing positive to say about my experience.
