I need to move the microwave off the counter. I do not have room in my tiny kitchen to have a microwave cart. I would like to build a shelf that is sturdy enough for a microwave to sit on.

i googled and found some wall brakets for $62 and some measurements on another site. However, I was not able to find any info on what materials to use for the actual shelf and not the brakets.

If material will run me more than the brakets cost i would be better off buying them. I have scrap 2x4 around the house so if i can just use them all i would need are a few other materials. I also have plenty of screws and nails.

I would like to know if anyone has built one of these and if you have the plans/materials needed and measurement. I dont need anything fancy but let me know what you have.

thanks!
