shelves: Can someone tell me if the shelves are optional for this item?

If you don't want shelves, simply don't put them in. This unit is sturdy enough it does not use the shelves to stabilize it. You can also order extra shelves. But you cannot order it without the shelves. If you have shelves you are not using, I would be interested in buying them - if I haven;t ordered them online yet. But you could also sell them on eBay. Just be sure to name it correctly so people searching will find it.

Unfortunately not, all of the shelves have to be in just as shown in the picture....awesome piece of furniture though! It's been in my basement for almost a year now and I get nothing but compliments.

Never thought of it! Horizontally? Uummm, guest u could BUT u would only have one shelf and I do not see the point of getting this bookshelf. However, I do remember seeing one that would be more ur thing. The bookshelf is all blocked off, so no matter which way u put it, u can use the shelves!! Give me some time and will find the name and order # for u, if they Still have them. Will Let u know.

It is, but the shelves are designed to be smooth on top and if you turn it over you have those support bars that run front to back sticking up. That might not matter, depending on what you want to store on them.

No they do not. You'd have to uninstall them, one or both, to eliminate them, which means unscrewing a couple of screws. The unit is pretty small, though, with or without the shelves.

It does not come with shelves. I built my own with 2x4 and plywood to suit me needs.

The answer was posted above. I love these shelves. They are sturdy and fit perfectly in my cupboard.

Yes they are! You don't even have to use all the shelves. If you have some taller items you can leave a shelf out to accommodate them.

The shelves are particle board. They seem pretty stable. They are included.

I do not know about shelving for the rack. I did not know shelves were available.

Yes, there are plastic connectors that snap on to hold the shelf. Just skip them where you do not want the shelf. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately not, I have been looking for something I could use for shelves. But I'm very picky. The desk and hutch are very nice though!!!

Great question. I called and asked for 2 extra shelves and they sent them to me free. I am not sure if they will do that for everyone because I did have a problems with some of the pre-drilled holes not being drilled. So, they may have been more generous with me because of that. Perhaps you could write them directly.

There are bars for support. However, I wouldn't recommend this item. Mine arrived without the black top shelf. I emailed customer service twice from their home website to request they mail me the missing part and got no response either time. I'm very unhappy with it.
