The center shelf does NOT need to be installed but it Will leave an attachment plate exposed which will always beg the question: "what belongs there?". The Round spinal column does Not hide wiring inside it, it simply has three rubber locks to guide wires BEHIND the column and out of sight. - The Transdeco 580 TV stand hides the wires inside its rectangular spinal column and has No center shelf, a better looking floor baseplate too, in my opinion. I own both. Hope this helps.

You can remove the shelf however 4 holes would show. It has a clean look even without the shelf and the beam is round. There are clips on the back side of the beam for cable management. We're quite happy with ours...very study and TV mounted without a hitch.

Yes, you can remove the glass shelf and the metal support bracket. However the welded bracket with screw holes will be visible on the mail pole. There are wire clips on the back of the round pole so the cables can be managed and have a clean look.

There are mounting holes down the center of the bracket so you can mount directly to the center of the beam. I used longer screws than were supplied with it.

They are all separate pieces..so I think you would be able to leave that shelf out..but there would be empty holes on the frame

The track and the shelf are separate items. In the installation process, the track is screwed to the base of the cabinet. Then, the shelf is attached to the track by means of 4 nuts, one nut at each corner. If you needed to get access to the plumbing, it would be fairly easy to remove the shelf from the track. If you are thinking about the two shelf unit, the upper shelf is attached to the lower shelf by 4 stainless steel rods that fit into female slots on both the upper and lower shelves. It would be fairly easy to remove the upper shelf if you needed to. I installed a two shelf unit under my bathroom sink. It was a tight fit but it works just fine. It is a good product. If you needed to remove it to get at some plumbing, it would be a ten minute job to take it out.

The screw brackets were different. I had to pop the glass from the old frame and replace it with the new glass and throw away the frame. You just have to be careful with the gasket when you separate it.

This is a very high quality, well-bulit mounting bracket......but, unfortunately it doesn't have an opening in the center of the wall mounted bracket. I also cut a hole (approx 2.5 inches diameter) in my drywall (between the studs), so that I could run my cables and wiring from the TV down between the studs, and then had them exit to the electrical socket, Dish Receiver, etc.. You can then use conduit to help hide the cables, wiring, etc, from being seen. From the start of mounting the wall mount untiul we were watching the TV set was approx 40 mins.Sorry for delay in answering your question, but I have been out-of-town !

Those shelves are somewhat thin and flexible. However, they are also an integral part of the construction. So, you might be able to exert enough force manually to break the shelf in the center, but would probably wind up with ugly remnants that you would need to laboriously chip out. In other words, it doesn't look easy.

It looks like there are four small screws underneath the top shelf. Also, it looks like the rails can be pulled up so you don't have the frame for the top shelf.

The reason I bought it was because I could screw it straight onto the wall without a junction box using the four holes on the edge. Some fixtures only have a big hole in the center to mount with some junction boxes. Most junction boxes have four (or two holes) in the corners. I am going to take a wild guess and say that the four holes of the light fixture will match up with the holes at the corners of a junction box - 95% certain of that. I love the light fixture. I was skeptical at first because it states that it is built of plastic. But, it is thick and strong like plastic a space shuttle would be built of - so I love it! Comes on every night at dusk. A great light/ great price. You may have to use caulk on the edge of junction box instead of the gasket that comes with it. Good luck.

There is a hole at both ends of the glass. A separate piece screws into the bottom piece of the bracket from the top to hold the glass in place. It looks very nice. You will need to get good screw inserts from the hardware store for installing this. The ones it comes with are junk.

You can take the glass off easily enough. Or just not install the bracket and have no top shelf.

You don't have to permanently remove it, you will have to cut to notches in it for bull bar to mount to the brackets.

The shelf can be easily removed; however, the bracket that supports it is a separate piece and would then also need to be removed. The shelf support itself is not mounted to the wall, but it is held in to the wall bracket by a couple of Allen head screws. The "ease" of removing the bracket is purely subjective. It could be done as regularly as you like but would take several minutes each time.

Like the picture shows, it's open on all sides. There is a black metal panel in the middle of the back side to cover the component wires. You feed the wires through the holes in the wiring panel and they don't show from the front. Be aware that the tempered glass shelves will hold a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. I use it for my home theatre equipment, and it is really nice looking. My 2-channel analog audio system, with it's heavy power amps (70+ pounds each), go in a steel rack. I've never had any home theatre components (including the receivers) that were any where near 50 pounds. Look up my review on Amazon for more info. Like the picture shows, it's open on all sides.

The glass slides out going straight up. So, you will need some space above the fixture to remove the glass. It is held in by friction clips.

Yes. You remove the old shelves and check to see if you can use the existing mounting hardware. If you can, the installation is simple. If you cannot use the existing HW you have to remove it and replace it with the shipped hardware. You may have to drill new holes. The diagram is an excellent guide and I was able to drill the new holes and mount the two anchors easily enough. It took longer to clean the shelf space than install the new shelves.

As made, I would say no, you couldn't do that. It comes all together with one hanging unit at the top with one frame of wires and shelf holders. You can take the shelves off, you can change their levels within the length of wire they're hanging on, but with only one frame and hanging unit, there would be no way to hang the shelves in a second window.
