Can the sides still be assemble to the shelves if you cut them down to make it not as wide? Also, would this help the unit to be more stable?

Not really, There is a metal frame that the legs attach to. There is a 2 inch overhang on either end - but I don't know how the cut ends would look with the distressed look of the finished wood.

Yes, there are grooves in the sides. Without removing shelves the space on the bottom is the widest. Which also can be switched to the top. Otherwise you would have to remove a shelf if you wanted bigger spaces. Hope I explained that well.

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

The shelves are adjustable for height. You could also eliminate the shelves if you desire

There are holes on the sides almost all the way down so all you would have to dois get some of the shelf pins and then the actual shelf. Should not be difficult. Bythe way we love the cabinet!

I don't own this piece yet but I'm looking to use it for the same purpose. If you zoom in on the photo, there appears to be screws in the sides to hold up the shelves if you lay this length ways so I would assume so.

For stability I would leave all the shelves in tact. It is not built to accomadate just 3 shelves. It is a little gem, though. Just right.

The shelves fold flat, you would need to dismantle two of the side supports for entire unit to fold flat.

I believe that at least the bottom shelf is needed for stability. Using both shelves makes for more stability.

There are notches cut out on the legs to insert the shelf. I doubt it would be very stable without the shelf.

It's been a while since I assembled mine, but from looking at it just now, I'd say it probably could be done as two separate units. You might have to figure out a way to cut the "legs" on the second unit a little to stabilize it, but I think it could work. No guarantees here, but those are my thoughts!

I am not sure, but there are separate pieces to it at different lengths. If you need it shorter you can just leave a section out, but you might not be able to use all of the shelves if you do.

The sides are all the same and the shelves fit onto the sides the same way, so I'm fairly certain you can take two and boule the height. It wouldn't be stable, though. The plastic sides and shelves are solid enough and the pieces fit tightly together, but it would tip very easily, I'd think. You'd have to have some way of preventing that.

They would certanly squeeze to that width but be aware that the shelf service will be uneven. One portion will be lower the depth of the wood, and affect the available floor width on the narrow side. Depending on what you wish to shelve, it could be unimportant or tippy for some wider things.

No. The vertical stand attachments go all the way up for 5 shelves. I guess if you are savvy with cutting tools you may be able to cut it down but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can have this configured as wide open or zig zag. Simply fold the middle joint forward and slide the shelves through. It will shorten the overall width, so the shelves will stick out more on both sides.

Technically yes,but shelf will be very wobbly. You need two shelves to make it stable.
