Could the legs be shortened at all? With a hacksaw or something? I want to fit something in a cabinet that is only 27 inches tall inside.

I have found that a heavy duty tubing cutter does the trick. Cut on the indents and it leaves a nice edge to put the plugs in the top. Make sure you cut off from the top :)

probably hacksaw off at the bottom. should work. i have made these shelves taller by putting 7/8 inch dowels in the top of the uprights. judy

Yes you could shorten the legs by cutting a few inches off either top or bottom.

There are indents in the steel legs, that yes, I believe it could be shortened. I just love this shelf.

Yes - there is a trim kit available to make it appear built- in. Trim kit only works with a very specific size cabinet, however, and is not very adaptable. Also, it (the trim kit) is ridiculously expensive for what it is.

The legs are about 18" apart. If you splay them out the hinges will crack. They do have a version that has stronger hinges but it may not work for you. Good luck.

Lower legs actually screw into the top legs at shelf, which is exactly 5" off the ground from bottom edge. If you splay-leg the legs, you may be able to achieve the height differential you need, though. Remember, construction is quite flimsy, so evenly cutting it could be a problem!

Not easily but it could be done. The rear wall of the cabinet is not strong enough to hold it. Eye hooks on the top would not work well either as the top will not support the weight. You could buy a pair of shelf brackets and set the cabinet on them and then secure the top with the little L pieces that came with it to keep it from tipping. the only other option would be to replace the back of the cabinet with a real wood piece of plywood properly secured to the top,sides ,and bottom.

In a way, yes. The legs themselves are not adjustable since they are of fixed length, but you can adjust the height of the shelf along the legs.

yes. But if you do that you likely won't be able to use some of the shelves. To echo what other owners of have said - this cabinet is TINY. almost more like a medicine cabinet or spice cabinet than a true piece of furniture.

Looking at the picture, it would appear that there is a tension screw that you adjust from the bottom of the cabinet. This would essentially pinch the bottom panel of the cabinet and is not permanent.

I would think so - the legs sit inwards of the shelf itself, but there isn't any way to secure them. Guess you could probably just put a nail in through the underside of the bottom shelf.

I would think so if the screws had nuts or thin metal washers (with a small hole predrilled in it) that aligned with the supplied screw. Need to assess if reaching inside the cabinet makes this possible. The screws would need to be long enough to go through the cabinet frame, would not want to rely on screws partially through the frame.

The metal stock used for the legs is about 1.25" high, but that doesn't take into account the leg levelers that screw into each corner. I'm thinking that you'd need to use the leg levelers because of the way the stand is put together. (Assembly instructions can be found at the BDI website.) BTW, the BDI specifications for the stand states that the cabinet must have 2" of clearance for the legs.

No. The depth of the cabinet is 14" when assembled. Althought the height and width would fit with plenty of extra space.

It is designed for a 30" cabinet. Might be able to fit in a 27" with some trimming, but no guarantees.

Lori, I don't really remember if the legs screw in or not, I put my unit a very long time ago and I frankly can't remember, but what I do know is that they are not that tall (a few inches from the floor). The cabinet as a whole is quite sturdy and I have been very happy with this purchase from day one (and it's been about 2 or so years ago since I made it).

No the screws are not long enough. You might drill into the sides by that could hurt the integrity.

on the models with drawers I have 3 1/4" at maximumthere are several lil leg extenders to use. You could use some from another kit if necessary.Good Luck!

With a hacksaw only. I was actually considering that if the table turned out to be too tall. Fortunately it wasn't necessary. No other height adjustment short of welding onto the legs.
