Install hanging microwave on furring strip wall
I am considering installing an over the range microwave. The microwaves I'm looking at are between 60 - 70 lbs. My concern is that the wall that I would be installing the unit on is made of furring strips, and that the unit might be too heavy.There are already 3 cabinets on this wall where I would be placing the microwave, 2 fulls on either side of the range and one half above the range. I wanted to see if people thought this would be too much weight and see if anyone had any recommendations. Any answers/suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
