Can this stand be used without the center glass shelf?

No. They use the glass as the weight to support it. Without the glass, very flimsy.

It can stand alone without using the included wall brace bracket. However, if you want it to stand by itself I would highly recommend you have a lot of heavy books/objects in the lower shelves to stabilize it. Mine is reasonably stable (but against the wall) and doesn't tip easily, but if I had pets/children running around the house I would only recommend it against the wall since it's quite tall and has a relatively narrow base. Hope that helps

You could leave the left shelf off, but there will be open holes bit you could just add the screws in w/o the shelf. I don't think this would look good without the ss shelf, but u could still do it.

Yes, you can use it without the shelves. The shelf positions are adjustable.

No, it can not be. It has glass supporting bracket, which has to secured in the middle of the wall mount and glass shelf sits on it ( not shown in a picture).

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

If you put blocks of wood between the glass and clamp it might work. But I wouldn't think that this stand should be on a glass desk. I would look for something else.

Hi Brandy. We have this cage and it can be used without the stand. You could just place it on the floor if you want.

the middle shelf just sits there on brackets so it can be easily removed. It's made that way for folding it up flat. I can't really tell but I guess you could get away with not having the middle shelf.

The CPU stand, no... The glass acts as a spacer. If you were to not install that piece of glass, the table would not assemble level. As for the stand on top, you can't remove that either since the back left post threads through the glass into the back right stand mount. I can't remember if the top "nut" can be used from the glass of the shelf, or if it's attached. I also have an iMac and bought this as a cheap alternative to the desk I really wanted. I used the CPU shelf for my backup battery/power hub and used the top shelf for my wifi router. I have since purchased the desk I originally wanted. But this one served its purpose. Hope that helps a little

It would not stand on a shelf without support. You could lean it against something and it should be fine.

Yes, that is what I did with rack. I did put a piece of glass on shelf first. It fits a small spot perfectly.

Its possible, but the doors are the part of the stand. If you want to assemble without the doors, you should check another "open" model than.

Yes, it is removable but you might not want to aesthetically. The shelf is supported by a 1-piece bar element which is the exact dimension and shape of the glass. It is not solid, as the glass is, but it visually occupies the same space. It might look like your shelf is "missing" rather than simply "removed". You should make the decision before you build and then simply eliminate the metal bar element altogether. By the way, TransDeco probably makes a different model that eliminates the shelves.

Fitting this kind of shelf in a corner is personal taste. I wouldn't use it in a corner because it would take away the richness and sophistication that I want to portray. Mine fits center under my TV to accommodate other electronics and gadgets. Center looks neat.

Yes, the top center shelf can be removed. However, it also works as a support to keep the shelf steady.If you remove this center shelf, I would advise that you do not place anything too heavy on it.I like this TV stand, it looks great with my other furniture, but it's not real Oak material so that was my only disappointment.Also Very easy to put together.

Once the unit has been assembled, the shelf is permanent. But you can assemble it without the shelf if you desire.
