I'm wanting to use as a plant stand - could I not use one of the shelves to fit my taller plants?

The shelves are not big enough for taller plants. Short plants in smaller pots will work okay.

Yep that should work. The legs stew into each other at each shelf. The glass only has holes so you could bypass it.

Each shelf is only 13.5 inches tall, except the very top shelf, so it would depend on how tall your plants are...

The way it assembles I would worry about stability if you removed one or more glass shelves. The individual vertical rods in the corners screw together through a hole in the shelf. Without the shelf they would be able to move and flex a bit. So, maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn't.

Yes. The poles screw into each other with the shelves in between. You could just omit a shelf and screw the poles together. I'm not sure how deep the holes are so it may fit tight or there may be a little gap between the poles where the shelf goes, either way it would look fine just wanted to toss that out. Also it is very well built, but of course the shelves make it more sturdy so I would not leave many of them out. It's a great looking, solid stand and I'm very happy with the purchase. Good luck!

Each shelf is just about 15 inches high, so if you have some taller they will not work. I put tall on top and the ones that are short or hang done on the other shelves.

Position these shelves at any spot along the legs.....completely customized to your needs. I use the basket shelf at the top instead of the middle. Mine is used outside for a collection of orchids so I ordered extra shelf clips in case the weather destroyed the plastic. I love this thing.

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.

You could, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that they make a taller bookcase... Probably a better look...

You are looking to stack two 3-shelf units? I don't think so, because the poles aren't long enough. Each pole is only long enough to support three shelves.

I am not certain; the shelves keep the thing upright. If height is an issue in your space, this may not work for you because the shelves hook into the sidebars. The sidebars have hooks in them for the shelves and they are permanently there. I guess you might be able to leave a shelf off but it might make the cart less stable.

that would be a wonderful feature that the manufacturer should seriously consider.....I bought the 6 foot and don't see how it can be made taller which would be customizable ....I do know that I could add another shelf which I would have to buy separately....regards...rc

The shelf is pretty and if the holes were right it would hold a plant. If you are handy and can fix it(I am not) you could fix it. Istill use it but i have to balance the things I put on a shelf.

Absolutely. Bear in mind when you are selecting which plant stand to buy ( regarding height) that the plant does add some height to the overall picture. I bought mine for outside mums which were amish grown and stood up quite tall. Still very beautiful, but I should have bought the shorter plant stand. I bring my stands in during winter in Wisconsin.

No, not if you assemble it per the manufacturers instructions. There isn't enough height between the shelves.

Yes, the stand is heavy cast iron so the shelves will hold heavier plants. The three base/bottom legs are each about 15" apart from each other (exact measures are hard because of the curve at the bottom of the legs). The plastic inserts on each of the shelves are 11 3/4" in diameter. I have my stand inside on carpet by a window and it's very stable.

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

Not possible, the vertical pieces are all one piece and the horizontal are all separate pieces. If you did this you'd end up with two very low shelves and not anywhere near stable.

The supporting poles are inserted into the shelves. I do not think you can eliminate any middle shelve for taller items.

As long as it's not very heavy. If its large or heavy, you may have to place a pole (like athe size of a broomstick) across perpendicularly across the top shelf & hang the planter(s) on it.

I don't see why not ... as long as the dimensions of the planter are compatible with the size of this stand (16"). Make no mistake, this stand is very heavy duty. I was very impressed with the construction when received.

theres enough room in between the shelves for an average size plant. and yes you can leave out a shelf for larger plants
