I would like a 2 shelf unit only 20" high. Can I cut the legs off and still put the levelers in them?

From what I remember, the levelers are screwed into a piece inside the leg so I wouldn't cut them. The legs come in 2 pieces & need to be screwed together to get the 30" height. You can probably cut from the top because you have to put the cap on the top end on yourself. I hope this helps.

The legs don't come off, but I think you could cut them off, I like mine the height it is now.

The legs are approximately 4.25-4.5 in. And the whole unit is about 29in. I think the legs came attached already, so I'm not sure they can be easily removed. Nice bookshelf, though.

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

No - the lower shelf is needed to keep the legs in line - you could, however, eliminate the middle shelf.

No. The vertical stand attachments go all the way up for 5 shelves. I guess if you are savvy with cutting tools you may be able to cut it down but I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes. The 4 plastic feet at the bottom of the legs may all be adjusted independent of each other. That way, if you have an uneven floor, you'll be able to make adjustments from corner to corner until the unit is steady. The shelves themselves adjust along the length of the legs at 1" increments. There is no other adjustment possible for the legs

Technically yes but you would not have a middle shelf on one of the them (since there are only 5 shelves) but yes, you can assemble two units that are half the height.

Yes you could use two side by side to make a deeper shelf. Just be sure to secure them together by vertical strapping either on the ends or underneath.

Yes. In fact you can make individual shelves shorter by cutting the legs shorter as I did. Be shire to cut them equal length and cut off the end that is not stepped down in size.

No. They have a small machine screw protruding from the legs. You might sleeve the legs with a larger diameter pipe and secure with a set screw to adjust the height

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

The top section of legs did not land quite right without the shelf in place to spread them out. Mine would have been WAY to wobbly if I left off the bottom pieces. You could always go to a hardware store and buy shorter legs for the bottom section. They usually carry legs that have the same bolt at the store and if you painted them white you would never notice the difference but it is only going to knock off a few inches if you do it that way.

You can remove the lower shelf but it may affect the stabiltiy. I may contribute to side to side wobble. Have a nice day

I don't see any reason why you couldn't lower the bottom shelf, but it would mean drilling new holes in the legs so it might not look that tidy. We gave the shelf away so I can't measure to see what the actual clearance is.

Deborah, thank you for inquiring about our shelves. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond but I see some great customers have taken the time to try and help with your questions. ( Hi guys...I'm glad your enjoying your shelves and thank you for your kind words.) The quick answer is "no, you can not split a single unit to make two 2 shelf units" BUT, if you were to contact me through our website (beautifulviews.net) I can supply you with additional hardware or a custom solution that will fit your needs.Jim Baggett, OwnerBeautiful Views

The way that the vertical posts are built prohibit this. I bought shorter shelf systems. Keep looking you will find them.
