Can each tier be used as a separate unit? I'm looking for one-tier racks to insert between the shelves of a bookcase.

No, they can't. Each side frame is a single piece, with slots for the two racks.

The bottom piece could be but I do not think the top piece would be sturdy without the support.

I'm not sure, but I would think you could use only 1 tier. I gave this as a gift so have not used it.

No. Extra shelves are not sold separately. You can buy another whole rack and install those shelves on one unit but it will be a very tight fit because each shelf rests on top of a metal frame that is 2 inches thick.

U would have to use the tiers from the bottom up but may can get away with not using the top tiers. The tiers slides down into place

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

No, unfortunately, I wondered about the same thing. Those bottom legs you see in the pic are set as they are. If you were to try to stack two units, the bottom legs will not connect to the top shelf of the second unit. I even looked at the Honey-Can-Do website and catalog (which was not very user friendly). There MIGHT be a way if you buy each piece separately, but I was not willing to go there. Honestly, even if you could do it, I would not trust the safety of stacking it that high and putting items on it. I hope this helps!

Yes you could, the item comes "assembly required". So you would just set bottom tray out without setting up pillars to add second shelf.

Yes, you could use just the base and not install the second tier. I haven't tried that myself, but looking at it I don't see why you couldn't.

I do not know about shelving for the rack. I did not know shelves were available.

I think the unit needs the bottom rack for stability. You could probably forgo the front and side shelves.

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.

The shelf unit is flatpacked; each divider, the bottom and back are separate pieces which you need to screw together....so yes, you could just use the middle divider.It is a solid "chunky" unit and i am very happy with it.

Yes. I have built them both ways. If you build it as two shorter units, one will have 3 shelves & one will have 2, however.

I am only using one 3-shelf unit, but I don't see why you couldn't have two connected. Keep in mind the height of each unit in making your decision

I don't think so. The way the unit assembles, there are locking type mechanisms on each row designed to provide an additional kind of sturdiness when put together properly. I considered leaving out a shelf myself. However, I determined it wasn't worth turning the unit into an unstable piece.

While I didn't keep this unit as it was too big for my storage space, I seem to remember that you can use one tier at a time.

I did exactly that because I did not want the four shelves together...to keep the dogs out of the lower ones. If you ask the manufacturer he will provide you with the necessary hardware (wires and hanging rod) to make two sets of two from the four shelves... he posted some pix of mine on his facebook page. The company is completely user friendly.. I turned the shelves upside down so there is a bit of a lip to keep things from falling off :)
