Would it work to leave the bottom shelf and bottom rear cross piece off when assembling? I need it to go around a heat vent. Thanks!

If you have a drill you could add holes to put the shelf where you need it. The unit is fairly sturdy, and may be okay without those 2 pieces. you may be able to use the back support in front where the front of the shelf is screwed in. as I recall, all the screws/holes were the same. I also added wood glue when i put mine together. not too helpful I know, but like I said, the unit is very sturdy.

I think it depends on your intentions. If you have any moving around to do after you assemble it, especially with any weight on it, I think the stability would be significantly altered. I have mine tucked in a closet and loaded down, so I can't really examine it. It is very stable and useful in its fully designed form.

I think you could, but it may affect stability and load capability. But it is very strong.

I looked at mine and I believe it would be just as sturdy without the bottom shelf

I think you can do that. maybe rigging up some extra support using an L bracket

I don't think it would work if you were to do that, it would be too uneven.

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

There would just be extra wire hanging below the bottom shelf and you might have to use fewer sheves. I think he would make you one shorter and possibly wider but you would still have to have a board or moulding across the top to hang it from.

There are 2 bolts holding the shelf bracket to the back and 4 bolts that hold the shelf to the bracket. it is no problem to remove, or just leave off.

The 2 side shelves are detachable. You have to assemble it when it arrives so you could leave them off if you like

I took mine apart to see if that would work. The unit assembles from the top with screw on caps that hold the leg pieces on. Then you slide a shelf onto the four legs. At that point you could use the legs from the second purchase and add another shelf and then put the feet on after that. As far as leaving a shelf off, I don't think the unit would be sturdy enough. If you want to make a three tier out of two , that should definitely work.

The back poles are continuous, so you cannot leave them off. You could leave the shelf off, but the poles will remain really tall.

Yes, the shelves can be left out. In fact, I made my shelving system shorter by taking one of the shelves out. With all the shelves in there is a "breezeway" underneath because the cover doesn't quite reach the ground and, when there is a freeze, I want to keep the cold air out.

Yes. Absolutely. You would just leave one set of shelving level out of the assembly.

The shelf is not removable and the back is solid. I suppose you might build it w/o the shelf but that would not be as designed.

Yes, shelves can be left out, but not re-positioned, so you either have to leave them out, or use them. You can't adjust their position.

You have to put the pieces together, but the bottom shelf is part of the design and if your do not attach it, the table will not be as stable!

I would say yes. There is 2 bolts in each of 2 brackets, that are bolted to the vertical frame, if those are removed the shelf will be removed.

The left side shelf can be removed/not assembled without affecting performance. The right side shelf has a burner.

The poles are individually assembled so it looks like you could leave off the middle shelf. It is not very tall with all 4 of them though so you may consider putting your bigger item on the very top shelf. I hope that helps. You may want to ask others who have purchased this to see what they have to say.

I believe you can, but just make sure to do it during the assembly process. The only thing that may be a problem is eliminating a shelf might make the rods that connect everything together slightly too long. If that happens you may have to grind down the ends of the rods approximately 1/4-3/8 of an inch. Hopefully you won't need to do that. Hope this helps :-)
