Is it possible to put the shelves on upside down to have sides on each to keep items from sliding off?

Yes, but the shelf will not fit completely down over the retaining clip afterwards.

No. The holes that go on to the poles are graduated (wider at the bottom/narrower at the top). The shelves only go on one direction.

All the shelves are adjustable except for one that is permanently fixed so you are able to change the height of them. The shelves adjust by moving the pegs they sit on to the appropriate holes that you want and then the actual shelf rests on top of them. For this reason, turning the entire unit onto it's side wouldn't really work as the shelf itself has no way to remain secure that way and it would just fall over.

I am using a book shelf by mounting it on the top. The unit is mounted upside down. It is a great unit I think.

yes, but you can only raise or lower the shelves, you can't move side to side

There are holes in the uprights which would allow for mounting. The means of mounting will need to be considered depending on the weight expected on the shelves.

Yes. The shelves are infinitely adjustable. You put the poles together, and they you put a little plastic sleeve anywhere you want the shelf, and push down , I believe. It's been a while since I put it together, but I recall it being very simple.

i did not construct mine that way. but i don't see why you couldn't. You may need to anchor the two shelves to each other for more support.

The shelves are removable, but they don't slide.Yes, the inside is smaller. .....Than the out side?

Yes, there are grooves in the sides. Without removing shelves the space on the bottom is the widest. Which also can be switched to the top. Otherwise you would have to remove a shelf if you wanted bigger spaces. Hope I explained that well.

I don't think so. The shelves are screwed into a "U" shaped bracket to hold them in place. Maybe if you cut the bracket in half you could do it.

The shelves are not moveable, they are fixed in the locations like in the photo. Not sure about adding additional shelves.

I don't own this piece yet but I'm looking to use it for the same purpose. If you zoom in on the photo, there appears to be screws in the sides to hold up the shelves if you lay this length ways so I would assume so.

The shelf can be set up on the right side instead of the left. The assembly instructions include a step showing how to reverse it.

It depends on whether the holes for the posts are tapered or not. Some are, some are not - can't say about this particular set of shelves. If they are tapered slightly (to better fit he compression fittings used) then you will not be able to turn them upside down. Also, if you turn them upside down, the welds for the shelving will now be on the bottom of the shelf edges and may fail under weight (because they are not supported from the bottom any more). I wouldn't turn them upside down and then put much weight on it.

Sure could; The four corner verticals are really two verticals stacked on one another with a plastic connector. You would have to position the shelfs strategically to get stability in each. Nice idea.

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

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.
