May be an odd question..Where the support is,(X shape), can I remove a section of it so that it looks more like a "Y"? Will the table become too weak?

I don't understand where the x shape is but the 4 legs are solid pieces the supports are the 2 cross braces in the middle of the legs u can remove the middle and make 2 desks if u didn't want a L desk the square in the middle of the desk seen in the picture is a removable computer stand

It does look like you could remove the middle piece but that would definitely make it less sturdy. I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, you could just assemble it without the table. Alternatively though you can just turn the table around to face the other way so it's not in the work area.

Personally, I'd say no because it seems to be much sturdier with all of the columns attached. Before responding to this, I removed a column to verify if it would work -- and it will, BUT it feels much flimsier. Hope this helps!

This table can only be extended by raising both ends while pivoting tabletop until long axis is parallel with the long axis of rectangular base (which provides main support for extended table top). In the year since purchasing, I've used the folded (unpivoted table top) for an informal meal with a friend on two occasions. It was a little awkward because our legs were too close to the base when it was in this position. So, if you plan to use it for two people most of the time, I would not recommend this table. But this table works very well for our family, and it looks great!

You have to put the pieces together, but the bottom shelf is part of the design and if your do not attach it, the table will not be as stable!

yes you probably can-- if you offset the supports away from each other by an inch.That should give you the results you want and it won't diminish the support structure.Hope this helps ~

Definitely...the accent table isn't super strong but it is sturdy...I would make the whole prior to assembling tho (obviously )...I have 2 and they look good and are solid.

I don't think so, but I won't be able to check until tomorrow. The whole top can be removed (frame & glass together). I do like my little table though.

Having read the previous answers, each of them provides good options. It's your choice which way you go. Like the person who built a table for the lift, I did the same. I prefer not to change things too much in order to make them fit. There are a number of variables which could enter into making such changes. Some changes could introduce more trouble, and you already realize that. I also agree with the answer that suggested you return the table, if that is an option. That would be my first choice in this instance. Good luck with your choice of how to resolve this.

NO. The problem is that the table is shaky. Moving things on it causes it to sway. An older version of the table was ok but the new tables are not the same. I would not recommend this table for any types of crafts.

I think this table could-indeed-carry the weight of a smaller/lighter version of a printer. I found that by re-enforcing the joints of this piece of furniture with wood glue that it makes a substantial difference in its stability...thus, affording better functionality.

You could try tucking the extra length under the legs or if you're handy with a sewing machine, you could take the extra off both ends but I wouldn't put it on a 5' table otherwise. It will look sloppy.

I have this table and love it, solid and sturdy. I would get in touch with the seller thru Amazon and let them fix your problem! This table is expensive and you should be happy with it. It sounds to me if the table is shaky the legs aren't all the same size.

yes, I bought this table for drafting and use a t square all the time. If needed the side trays come off.

As I remember when assembling this table, the bottom bar is pretty integral to the stability of the table. It might be o.k. without it, but I would not put much weight on it, or depend on it as a desk. There are pre-cut holes in the bottom braces that accept the bar. I'm sure if the bar was not installed that these holes would likely be noticeable though not terribly so.

I assembled it 4 years ago, so hard to remember. The shelf was definitely it's own piece that was slipped onto the legs. My guess is yes you could omit, but it would probably impact stability.
