Can I assemble this minus one shelf? Or will it be too unstable if I do that? I need something with these dimensions but I only need 3 shelves.

I am not certain; the shelves keep the thing upright. If height is an issue in your space, this may not work for you because the shelves hook into the sidebars. The sidebars have hooks in them for the shelves and they are permanently there. I guess you might be able to leave a shelf off but it might make the cart less stable.

For stability I would leave all the shelves in tact. It is not built to accomadate just 3 shelves. It is a little gem, though. Just right.

Yes you could but the shelves wouldn't be spaced evenly. They make a three shelf version of this if that helps.

I turned one shelf upside down to make the bottom shelf zone taller - so I would say yes - you can leave one out - shelves are popped into framing - but the unit wobbles - with any weight - so keep it simple and light - and does not roll well at all once weighted items are added -

Hello , u can assemble the shelves both ways , one thing about these sandusky racks they are light weight they will not hold more than 15lbs per shelves, hope this helps.

Not really. There are two horizontal pieces near the bottom, one in front and one in back, that are necessary with the top shelf to make it stable. If it fits your space it is a great piece though. The spacing of the drawers is adjustable.

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.

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. I too did just that. You end up with a 5 shelf unit. You will have a glass shelf left over. It is plenty stable. Just use common sense, keep it level and don't overload it.

The way it assembles I would worry about stability if you removed one or more glass shelves. The individual vertical rods in the corners screw together through a hole in the shelf. Without the shelf they would be able to move and flex a bit. So, maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn't.

I am so sorry I only have one of these shelves used for a different purpose. The design makes it look as though you should be able to stack them. But how many I am not sure. Also I do not know how stable it would be considering the construction. One on it's own is great. Sorry I couldn't be of further help.

I guess you could just let it hang but it would not be stable . You could not assemble the bottom part or just leave out one of the shelves altogether

No, the shelves keep the unit from wobbling. You might be able to get by using just 2 shelves. I'd keep looking, I'm sure what you want is available.

They are great shelves but I agree with Carly that they are much shorter than you expect. I have two, one on top of the other and to get the cabinet space that I was looking for I should have purchased three of them. I think your idea might possibly work but if it doesn't, you'd have to go up with them. Good luck!

i did not construct mine that way. but i don't see why you couldn't. You may need to anchor the two shelves to each other for more support.

The shelves are at fixed heights. You could leave out the middle or bottom shelf, and you may be able to get away with leaving out both, but I think you kinda need to put in at least 2 shelves, to maintain the stability of the legs. I should think it possible, with some careful drilling to place holes at other heights. The bottom of the bottommost shelf is @ 3-3/8" in off the ground and the top of it @ 7-1/4" above the ground. The top of the middle shelf looks like it would be @ 21-1/4" off the ground.

The poles on the four corners come in two pieces and they screw together. You could get away with only putting together one half of the poles, but that would only be about 30 inches. If you are trying to just take the last foot off the top, then you cannot do that without cutting the poles. You can however move the shelves around to whatever height you want. So you can have a 4 shelves instead of 5 but it will still be the 64ish inches high. I hope this helps

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

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up. Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They would be on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any reply on that!

Yes, you can use fewer shelves, but you would have the height of the third shelf would be the same whether on a three shelf or five shelf unit. In other words, the spacing between shelves remains consistent. Hope that helps.
