Do the holes in the top of shelf face to front or rear, would you know the reason as well?

I do not know which way the holes face but here is the manufacturers description for where the shelf sits: "The shelf is positioned in the front of the cabinet so longer guns can be stored along the back wall of the cabinet. (There is a gap between the back of the shelf and the back wall of the cabinet)."THE FRONT OF THE CABINET"

The holes are on the sides. As far as the reason(s) why, though I can only speculate as I didn't design the cabinet, I can offer these somewhat educated guesses: 1. Placing the screws in the sides takes advantage of the simple symmetry of the two sides, affording a simplified manufacturing process. 2. Ease of use- the sides are easily reachable during assembly/removal of the shelf by the user. 3. Aesthetics- by installing the shelf from the sides, the need for screws across the face of the cabinet is eliminated, maintaining a cleaner appearance. BTW, it should be noted that the shelf is NOT the full depth of the cabinet, it is about 2/3 of the full depth. The gap remains at the front of the cabinet, as the shelf sits toward the rear. I hope this helps!

On this particular model, only sort of (see notes on tapered holes) and because the cross wires would then be on the wrong side. However, I own a variety of these and the of the equivalent Seville products. Both manufacturers make models with the lip going down so you have a flat shelf. If you look at the pictures closely, this is visible.

They are designed to go face down. The shelves have wedges that hold them in place and the one inch side rail on the shelves go face down

I dont think so. The bottom platform might be, but the top platform isnt. I think the shelves can be reversed to though.

Actually, no, there are no holes in the back for wires. The shelves are very narrow, maybe 9 inches or less. The cabinet is not designed for media devices. It is attractive and looks good in the room, but it is intended for DVD/CDs and could be used for paperback books.

I'm not exactly sure. The shelves are very solid with a smooth finish on top.

One our cart, the shelf lip covers are on the front edge of the shelf. As far as I/we can remember, there were pre-drilled holes and we only had to screw (one on each side) the covers on.

Yes, there are peg holes on the sides so you can make the shelves any hieght you want. Very Useful.

I'm not sure about your question dealing with rear/face mounting? These brackets as shown in the picture mount to the side of the cabinet and drawer. You usually leave half and inch clearance on both sides and screw the glides to the side of the cabinet and to the drawer. With this type glide, there is no front/rear mounting. AH

No, they go side to side. I don't know why. There is room to go front to back. I bought some dowels and taped them to the sides so I could hang mine in the front to back direction. It is actually a little longer and lets me get a few more files in each drawer but it doesn't come that way. Other than that, I like the cabinet.

The shelves are supposed to go in one direction. However you can physically place them either way.

I think the unit needs the bottom rack for stability. You could probably forgo the front and side shelves.

Flush with the sides, however, inside of the cabinet, the top shelves have about 4" of space between the back edge of shelf and the back panel. The cables are well hidden behind the items on the shelves and the back.

Not 'As Is"... There are pre-drilled holes in the front legs and back frame for the shelf supports. If you are handy with a drill and measuring tape, you could easily drill more holes to make it work for you. The frame in the back is steel. The front legs are nice, solid wood. We are extremely pleased with the overall quality and durability of this piece, especially for the price.

Screw holes are predrilled in the shelf links. You attach top boards from underneath. There is no need to drill through top boards. I drilled a small pilot hole to facilitate starting the screws.

Possibly but not all the same shelf . You would have move them when you are ready to use them. They could not be " ready for use"

The holes are predrilled on the sides, but if you wanted to leave out a middle shelf you could. It comes with the hole plugs so you could hide holes if you needed.
