Is the bottom shelf optional?

Yes. Thd bottom shelf is optional. However, depending on your space needs, there are two crossbars on which the shelf rests that would should probably not be removed.

You can certainly use the table without the bottom in the sense that nothing else is attached to it, but my feeling is that the shelf makes the table more stable.

The shelves are separate; if you use the bottom shelf only there will be holes.

I didn't assemble it because it came damaged, but I believe there was minimal assembly required-just the legs and lower shelf, if I remember correctly.

The bottom shelf is a necessary structural member. It ties the two legs together and provides an anchor for the two diagonal braces. This combination is necessary for the unit to support weight.

I am not sure what you are asking! There is another shelf/cart for sale that does have only the top shelf.

There is a metal "bracket" that is attached to the bottom of the cabinet. Shelf goes onto that. I LOVE mine!

Yes it's optional. Keep in mind this stand is very, very low. It was too low for my tv so I just kept it for storage in the basement.

The bottom shelf provides stability. The table will wobble if you take it out.

No! It's a supported piece of wood going across the bottom of the bookshelf! Which makes it very sturdy framework!

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. :)

Yes. But just for storage. The rear shelf serves as a vertical support for the table surface. It can be removed with 2 screws on each side. I actually also fitted it facing away from the desk so I accomodate a big monitor on the table. & I never used used the side shelf (as shown) for any support. All in all, it's a quite a modular unit, for usage & storage.

It only has a bottom shelf . If you are handy you can add shelfs. I use it primarily as a gun and cash safe. It's small but easy to install and use

I just bought this and put it together and I see no reason why you would have to put the shelf in. It is only sitting on pegs. Only the bottom shelves are moveable. I would recommend this to anyone. I really like it!

I did omit the top shelf. The finishing caps that fill in the holes work the same on all the shelves so it doesn't matter if you leave the "top" shelf off.

I bought the model without the top shelf, so if you don't want the model with the top look further you can find that. I love mine its heavy duty and it came with all the parts to put it together and we easy to construct.

I would say you should install the bottom shelf for stability if something heavy or valuable were to be placed on the table. From what I recall, everything was stained if you choose to not attach the bottom shelf. I hope this helps you.
