Can this be assembled without the shelf above the main counter/shelf?

Maybe, if you have a plan for securing it. Otherwise, it's there for balance and stability. You might be able to leave the braces on the end of the shelf there for support and remove the small rods that make up the shelf. But it would require some work.

maybe...it looks like the shelf could be left off...you would have screw holes in the vertical side pieces that you would want to plug somehow. it doesn't seem that the shelf is structural, just my best guess.

Yes you can. That is why it is described in the Product Description as a stacking shelf!

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.

No, but you can leave a shelf out to make the spaces larger/taller if you need to.

Yes, you can, but it has to be a shelf with no rod underneath and , of course, the clearance has to be equal or larger than the divider.

If you have a drill you could add holes to put the shelf where you need it. The unit is fairly sturdy, and may be okay without those 2 pieces. you may be able to use the back support in front where the front of the shelf is screwed in. as I recall, all the screws/holes were the same. I also added wood glue when i put mine together. not too helpful I know, but like I said, the unit is very sturdy.

could assemble this w/out using the shelves above/to the right of the monitor? thus increasing the overall size/area on the top.

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.

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

Yes, you can, but make sure that you buy the support brackets that hold the shelf up as these are not included with the shelf.

Yes. The storage arrive in pieces so you just skip the 2nd shelf when you put them together. :)

Yes - the shelf is separate from the posts that hold it. The shelf sits on top of the posts. We have two that are set up opposite from each other. It's a great shelf.

Yes the shelfs were the last thing I put on,,,,That is an option....Very easy to put together,,,,Hope This helped

Yes. The framework makes the stand sufficiently rigid that the shelf is not needed.

Has anyone put this together WITHOUT the interior shelf? If so, how sturdy was it?

You could leave the left shelf off, but there will be open holes bit you could just add the screws in w/o the shelf. I don't think this would look good without the ss shelf, but u could still do it.

Yes, you could just leave the shelf part out but the legs have notches in them to hold the shelf so those would be visible without the shelf in place.
