Is it possible to remove the bottom shelf completely? I want to keep a mini-fridge on the floor in between the desk legs.

there is a support beam under the shelf that helps to make the legs more sturdy

The shelf sits on a stabilizing bar, and so does the shelf above it. I guess if you didn't want care if you had two stabilizing bars, then you could not install the bottom one and could put a fridge under the desk. The desk is fairly sturdy, so I'm not sure if that bar is totally needed. It would just be up to you to decide.

No, I mean you could not install the bottom shelf, but the brace for it is metal from the frame that links the two sides. There is no way to put a fridge in that space.

The bottom self is connected to two support beams. I wouldn't think it would work as it would weaken the table.

There aren't really "shelves" unfortunately. Under the top are optional metal media holders.The legs screw onto the bottom, so they are removeable.

Since it has to be assembled (which isn't difficult), I think you could just not install the middle shelf. But in my opinion it would be unstable without the bottom shelf, as nothing would hold the legs together at the bottom.

In regards to the question of whether the shelf is removable, I figure I should clarify that the shelf can only be removed by partially disassembling the cart (or by never installing it when you initially assemble the cart). So, if you always want the shelf or never want the shelf, it will work well for you, but if you want a shelf that you can easily attach and remove from time to time, then this shelf would not be very practical for you.

The shelves cannot be removed. I store 4 reams of paper - 2 on bottom shelf & 2 on split shelves.

The shelves are not removable and they are only vertical. The vertical arrangement worked well. I left some spaces empty so my cabinet does not look overloaded like the picture of it does.

The bottom shelf isn't very strong. I have a similarly sized case (Nzxt h2) and I chose to put it on the floor next to the desk.

I dont think so. The bottom platform might be, but the top platform isnt. I think the shelves can be reversed to though.

you can remove shelves, but the height isn't adjustable. the interior of the fridge is a kind of composite molding with shelf positions already set up. So while you can remove some of the shelves to accommodate bottles of bubbly (the most common oddly-sized bottle usually stored in these things), you can't really compensate by making shelves above more tightly compacted.

Yes, if you cut the shelf, but the shelves add stability. I would only remove a shelf if the unit held only light weight.

I put the shelf on and just sit in front of it. It's reasonably sturdy though, so maybe it will be okay without the bottom. I just put my feet on the bottom shelf. :)

I own several large salt water aquariums. I would not remove the bottom two shelves. It would hinder the strength of the entire unit.As the shelves are particle board I would also watch the water! Hope that helps.

Yes, it can be built without the bottom shelf, but it provides a great amount of stability. It may be very wobbly without it.

They are completely adjustable. I'm not sure I would remove it completely, just for stability. I have my middle shelf about 5 inches from the top one.

The shelf can be removed but it won't latch onto the bottom shelve. It's designed to snap onto the crossbars and will only secure one shelve per row.

Yes it can be removed, sort of like the veggie bin in your fridge. Had to take it out in order to secure it to the base cabinet.

Only if you want to screw the bottom shelf down, but i choose not to because it seemed awkward and there is no real reason to screw it down in my opinion. From the other reviews it seems to not have good results and the board falls apart.
