Under Counter Freezer...On Top of Counter?

EmilyLovesCats

Good Afternoon,

We are moving to a home with a kitchen for no room for a freestanding fridge freezer. We already have an under counter 'spare' freezer, that will become our main freezer, and that can live under the counter in a designated spot. There isn't another place for a fridge so wondered if anyone had experience of putting a 113 litre ish on top of a kitchen side? I know logically it'll depend on the weight and all that but how could one test the weight capacity of a kitchen side?!
There are table top ones of around 70 litres that we'll learn to live with if need's be but if there is a way it would be a lovely bonus.
I've googled it to death and no one seems to have asked this before!
Thank you in advance

I can't see the weight of a normal fridge being a problem. Fridges aren't heavy, even I can lift one!

We have a set up with 2 under counter freezers side by side, worktop over them, then 2 similar under counter sized fridges sitting on the worktop, no problems at all.
The worktop is supported at either end of its 1250mm length, also along the back, and has a central leg between the 2 freezers.
