I would use as a pantry. Can the side panels support shelves? I'd drill holes and insert shelf pins; willing to add vertical support also.

I believe so. They are 1/2" thick dense particle board. However, I imagine they chip easily when drilled. A better solution would be to install horizontal cleats to carry the weight of the shelves with vertical support to carry the weight if the cleats & shelves. Another alternative would be to install 2 or more 1' x 2" x 3/4" vertical strips to drill for shelf pins My concern is chipping the particle board when drilling, or accidentally penetrating it.

that should work fine. Side is 5/8 particle board, back is cardboard. Email me and I'll send pics of ours freddevensconst@gmail.com

The side panels seem to be too weak to support the shelves. The vertical support would definitely be helpful. This item is almost totally made of pressed wood.

Sauder does not recommend that you hang anything on the doors. This is because of safety. The doors may come off the hinges or sag and also this unit is not tested with a "load" on the door and may become "front heavy" and tip.

I mounted wire racks on the sides, with no problem, however, for center support, I ran a 1x2 up the back. I'll try to post photo,s on the review site.

No. Just buy something that is intended to be used as a pantry. This is intended to be used as a closet. It is not supposed to be top heavy because it could tip over.

I'm not a carpenter, but I would say "no." These would be fine for light to medium duty - I have glass shelves affixed to them with silicone. They are very attractive, so could be used decoratively if there were another source of support.

Yeah it'd be super easy if you have your own hardware. There's plenty of holes, you could easily line them up in any horizontal fashion and put nut and bolt through two adjacent shelf holes.

Not likely, but I wouldn't put anything on the top. More likely the shelves will bend under weight. I would put shims under the front bottom if it leans forward from the wall.

They're pretty stable, the number of shelves shouldn't compromise it's stability I'd think. They would be good for outside use, depending on where it would be you may need to weigh it down at the base though.

The supports fit into openings on the bottoms and tops of the shelves so if you had more of each you could add another shelf. There are pre-formed holes so you can attach the unit to wall studs to make it more stable if desired.

No. The shelves are resting on pins and would fall sideways. The bottoms of the shelves are not finished. You'd need to paint them and screw them in place to place the unit sideways.

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.

If you have a drill you could add holes to put the shelf where you need it. The unit is fairly sturdy, and may be okay without those 2 pieces. you may be able to use the back support in front where the front of the shelf is screwed in. as I recall, all the screws/holes were the same. I also added wood glue when i put mine together. not too helpful I know, but like I said, the unit is very sturdy.

Not really for a corner... Unless you can have access to open all doors. Have you looked at corner shaped ones?It is great for an extra pantry.

Yes! This is exactly how I use it. There are effectively 6 positions for the shelves, and you can use any of them. I'll try to add a customer photo to show this.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. You could also put anything really heavy on the bottom.

I don't think so because the holes for the pieces.are pre-drilled. You'd end up with a tiny shelf space at the bottom and a huge shelf space at the top.

The shelves are certainly sturdy enough for that duty. You need to measure your appliances and match them up with this unit. There are also other units that are different sizes. One of them will almost certainly fit.

If the cookbooks aren't too heavy they would probably work pretty well. The dividers are fairly sturdy and have a diagonal piece that gives them more stability. My shelves are about 3/4 inch thick and they fit. I use them as clothing dividers.

probably not . middle and bottom shelf only have one bolt on each face, if you drilled and doubled up it might be alright. this is far from being a quality shelving cart , so don't expect much ... basically your getting what you pay for .

I really dont think so. There are pre-drilled holes for the shelves so i dont think that would work.
