Microwave on a shelf - which brackets to use?

babyblooz

Hello, we are wanting to put a heavy microwave on a shelf above the worktop to make a bit more space. The shelf will fit into a semi- alcove, its a bit difficult to explain but we have a pillar that comes out a bit and so the shelf can but up against the bit of the pillar as well, to give a bit of extra support.

DH has been out to Wilkinsons and bought two big white brackets to sit it on, which will work, but will look awful (I have a thing about ugly brackets). I can remember seeing some special sort of brackets that can support microwaves but I can't find them anywhere.

Does anyone know what I should ask for? I have googled microwave brackets but it doesn't bring up anything useful.

Although these sound similar to the ones you already have which you don't like the look of.

I have used the argos ones above and can recommend them. They are very well made and are adjustable

Just checked availability and they are all sold out, maybe they will get some more stock! Flippin' eck! They looked just the job!

Will anywhere else stock anything similar?

The ones he bought were the sort that hold a shelf up, with the brackets pointing down! The ones you've told me about are a lot more stylish!
