Can you built it without the wine rack so instead the middle is just an open shelf? Or is that not an option?

Yes you can, you can only not insert the rack and youll have an open space.

The wine rack just slides in, it doesn't support anything other than itself so I don't see why you couldn't just leave the shelf open.

It looks like you can leave the middle shelf out if you wanted to. Please see the installation instructions here: http://www.kitchensource.com/kitchen-islands/pdf/ca-1544-installation2.pdf

I bought the model without the top shelf, so if you don't want the model with the top look further you can find that. I love mine its heavy duty and it came with all the parts to put it together and we easy to construct.

The corner posts are each 2 interlocking pieces. Could probably be assembled without center shelf. You might lose some of it's load bearing capacity due to the loss of bracing.

Yes, you can use the cabinet without the shelves. As I recall the middle shelf can be adjusted.

I think leaving the middle shelf out would compromise the stability of the table. You would have to use two diagonal board across the back to keep the table stable.

Yes, the glass rack is in the open section. It has 4 rows that each hold 2 red wine glasses comfortably. Depth of the cabinet is perfect as well. I have enough room for my wine tray and corkscrews beneath the glasses. I get a lot of compliments on this piece. It does not look like something you assemble at home. It will take some time. This is not a quick build and some of the angles are tricky but the end result is very pleasing and useful! I hope you enjoy the piece!

The unit is very substantial. You could do this safely as long as you glue or fasten everything together. I would use a thin coat of some sort of glue that is transparent when dry ("Gorilla glue" comes to mind.). This would add assembly time, but would provide a sturdy wine rack.

It has no shelf other than the base. There is no second or middle shelf option. BTW the back is open. Meaning when you open the doors, you can see straight through to the back wall of your house. I guess you can close it in if you're pretty handy with a saw :-)

Not possible, the vertical pieces are all one piece and the horizontal are all separate pieces. If you did this you'd end up with two very low shelves and not anywhere near stable.

Yes, you can construct the cart without the middle shelf. I don't believe it will reduce the stability. I do believe the cart seems a little unstable due to the wheels. I erected mine with the wheels as I need to roll mine, but if at some point I need to use it where I won't move it.....I'll be taking the wheels off. Hope this helps.

Without a center brace or seperation, yes. You could install a center piece. I think there is a similar model that bolts into the bottom tho

Yes. It comes completely unassembled so you could only use one shelf if you wish.

You could LAY the middle shelf on top of the lower shelf, but there is not going to be a sidebar for it to hook onto. (the side bars are pre-attached, and can not be moved.)

I have never tried but I would guess not. There is not much extra room between or deep on this wine rack.

Actually middle shelf is not moveable and I believe if you don't assemble into closet, it will not be sturdy. Haven't tried it without it.

Yes, it can be built without the bottom shelf, but it provides a great amount of stability. It may be very wobbly without it.
