Anything flammable like wood has to be at least 30" above the range top. You should get an over the range microwave and attach it to the wall.

I’d be concerned about fire safety. Maybe considering doing something like this: https://www.frugalfamilytimes.com/2015/11/hack-your-kitchen-for-over-range.html?m=1

I have had over the stove microwaves for decades with no safety issues. Check your local building codes and then proceed. William has a perfect solution for you. Again, don't forget to follow building code. Very very important.
