can the middle shelf be left out w/o effecting the strength of the cart?

Cart is not real heavy duty as it is, but as long as you dont use it for hravy items, should be fine.

I would not recommend it. The attachment of the middle shelf is a big part of the carts stability.I will say that I have been quite happy with the cart since my purchase.

probably not . middle and bottom shelf only have one bolt on each face, if you drilled and doubled up it might be alright. this is far from being a quality shelving cart , so don't expect much ... basically your getting what you pay for .

The shelf is in a fixed location. I think it is designed like this, to make the unit more sturdy.

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.

The top cover looks like removable. However, structurally I doubt if 2 carts together can stand straight. I use it for craft supplies. I have two of the drawers with bottles of fluid and somewhat heavier stuffs, and the cart tilt a bit to the side, likely because the wheels aren't that stable. Without the wheels and have the 2 stacked carts lean against wall or something may work, but honestly I wouldn't recommend.

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.

The shelves are not adjustable, but I assume you could leave one or both out if you wanted.

I assembled it 4 years ago, so hard to remember. The shelf was definitely it's own piece that was slipped onto the legs. My guess is yes you could omit, but it would probably impact stability.

You could remove a shelf but I do not know what that would do to the structural integrity of the unit. There are two steel rods that run the entire height of the unit in the back wood separators so you may need to put some sort of spacer between the blocks where you took out the shelf to keep the height the same.

In regards to the question of whether the shelf is removable, I figure I should clarify that the shelf can only be removed by partially disassembling the cart (or by never installing it when you initially assemble the cart). So, if you always want the shelf or never want the shelf, it will work well for you, but if you want a shelf that you can easily attach and remove from time to time, then this shelf would not be very practical for you.

I'm pretty sure it's the middle shelf that is fixed. This tends to be the case for less expensive units such as this one, since it adds stability to the weaker frame. Odds are the vacuum won't fit.

If you are asking if the shelving unit can be removed to leave just the table then no. The shelf unit acts as a supporting leg.

I don't think so. The sides of the middle piece connect to the shelf units. So, it's basically all connected as one piece after assembly.

The lower shelf is definitely what keeps it stable. I would not recommend not using it.

Yes. That shelf can be readjusted but I am afraid that removing it completely will make the table to be shaky or unstable.

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

No, there are specific holes in the spine to fasten the shelves. I suppose you could leave a shelf off. The capacity would be the same, though, as the shelves don't really take up much space.

No unless you were to put plywood on top of unit which would pretty much limit the shelf that would be on the bottom unit, but even then i wouldnt recommend for stability purposes. Seville does make higher shelves that are very sturdy.
