can you assemble it so each shelf has a lip? or use the whole thing upside down to get the same result?

No, the holes are tapered. The weight on the shelf appears to lock them into place. Enough weight on the shelf upside down would push the shelf down.

There is a small lip on each shelf. I wish the lips were taller. Be advised to make sure you get that lip right side up during assembly. This cabinet is a real puzzle to put together and the directions don't mention to check for things like that orientation when you have the pieces down on the floor and so you would notice it. The lip is so small, I didn't notice that and now I need to dissemble and correct a few of the small shelf orientations.

I believe you can, but just make sure to do it during the assembly process. The only thing that may be a problem is eliminating a shelf might make the rods that connect everything together slightly too long. If that happens you may have to grind down the ends of the rods approximately 1/4-3/8 of an inch. Hopefully you won't need to do that. Hope this helps :-)

the holes the poles slide through typically are wider on the bottom, that fit over tapered wedges on the poles. I have installed shelves upside down, but it is not as secure.you can always cut a board to fit in the bottom of the shelf, effectivly reducing the flange of the shelf wall

Can the shelves be installed "Upside-Down" from shown? That is: With 'Edge' down instead of 'Up?'

I don't think so. The shelves are screwed into a "U" shaped bracket to hold them in place. Maybe if you cut the bracket in half you could do it.

I am using a book shelf by mounting it on the top. The unit is mounted upside down. It is a great unit I think.

You cannot adjust the shelves. When finished it will look just like the picture.

Yes. Each half can independently be vertical or horizontal. Beware that the shelf is a little to narrow for the base of the hanger and the lip at the edge doesn't come over the end of the hanger base. Not a big deal. I have two of these from different companies but obviously the same supplier so I assume this is the result of some mismeasurement in the design process. It works great in practice, though.

Sure, just don't screw that shelf section into that tower. I'm sure it would work but pay attention to those damn stickers on each piece. It is NOT easy to assemble as the box says! A lot of cussing came out of my normally mute man hubster when he was putting those together - especially when he realized he put the shelves together backwards. The man is an engineer too. Oy vey!

It can be done. You just need to be accurate in cutting the shelves and positioning the holes for the screws. I suggest you contact the supplier. He is great to work with and will probably do it for you.

yes I would think so. The hole for the knob is drilled in the middle and the shelves are adjustable. There is nothing about it that would make it look "upside down" if you did that.

All the shelves are adjustable except for one that is permanently fixed so you are able to change the height of them. The shelves adjust by moving the pegs they sit on to the appropriate holes that you want and then the actual shelf rests on top of them. For this reason, turning the entire unit onto it's side wouldn't really work as the shelf itself has no way to remain secure that way and it would just fall over.

each shelf snaps in with a "c" shaped connector to the frame. You could remove the middle shelf and put it upside down on the lower shelf (the connector won't fit on top of another shelf, but if you flip it over, it should be OK). We'd loved these shoe racks...great product.

Yes. Get someone's help to turn it upside down (onto a blanket so you dont scratch it) Then gently tap the top off. You can also release the shelf in the same way. We recently added a second shelf, bought separately. Be sure to chose one with correct pipe/sleeve diameter. This one is 1.5" NOT 1". Also measure shelf size correctly, there are so many out there.

I guess it would be fine to position it vertically instead of horizontally. But if you did that, I'd be careful not to put too much weight on the separating shelf in the center of the unit.

Yes, definitely. The shelves can be spaced differently, with several different options, very easily. It comes disassembled. You can also take it back apart after assembling it.
