Is it possible to assemble this product and not use the middle shelf from the top?

Yes you can. You have to screw this shelf into the structure. I'm not sure but it might reduce the stability of the entire structure if it's not used. Maybe not too much though.

I don't think so. The way the unit assembles, there are locking type mechanisms on each row designed to provide an additional kind of sturdiness when put together properly. I considered leaving out a shelf myself. However, I determined it wasn't worth turning the unit into an unstable piece.

You can, but it might be a bit wobbly. Cabinets using this type of construction typically rely on the back panel for horizontal stability. There's a 2 inch gap along the top that allows some airflow for things on the upper shelves.

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.

the top and middle shelf are adjustable. That would allow you to have 2 shelf at 12" or a bit more each. The third shelf would not be as tall

No, the legs fit into each shelf when assembling so you need each shelf. And for stability you would probably even need to use the top shelf too. Sorry!

you can remove most of the shelves, but not all. The two middle shelves are part of the frame of the cabinet and are needed for stability. I can check the height of the shelves and get back to you.

No - the lower shelf is needed to keep the legs in line - you could, however, eliminate the middle shelf.

The height between the shelves is 15 inches so you could feasibly leave out a shelf when assembling it but you would want to secure it at the bottom somehow because it is wobbly when just hanging

No there is no way to do that, and the mount most likely cant handle the addional weight of the shelf and componets on it

Technically yes but you would not have a middle shelf on one of the them (since there are only 5 shelves) but yes, you can assemble two units that are half the height.

Yes, I believe you can just leave the middle shelf out. There are double screws on each leg that holds the shelf but they are not necessary for the integrity of the bench. It feels very sturdy and I really like that for sitting on while putting shoes on etc.

You can - we did the same. No middle shelf. No extra parts needed, the long and short legs go together. Our shredder is 18" tall and it gives us 8" clearance to put paper in.

I do not believe you can. It comes with screws that go into the tubes going from the bottom shelf to the top shelf, and the other part of the screw goes into the legs on the bottom. Sorry!

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.

Why not? It can be done, it is of hard material, except that you will have divider instead of a shelf. Is that what you need? LehighandMe

I guess you can assemble it the other way... Not sure since I assembled it per instructions.
