I am upgrading from an old GE builder-grade double oven to a much nicer oven that is like 400 lbs. I cannot find anywhere a standard for what cabinets are built to hold. Any thoughts if I need to beef this up? Thanks yall.

File photo, this is not my house.

If it were mine I'd lose the drawer and Put in a fully supported shelf. Is the shelf height remaining the same?

I’m going to bet that is 3/4” plywood. If that is the case, it will support 400# easily.

So I pulled the old oven this AM. The original shelf, which is 20+ years old, has some cracks and staples showing. I pulled it out and building an entirely new and reinforced shelf that both rests on the next shelf below and is affixed to the walls, thus shifting weight in all different directions rather than just down.
