Could you set it up as a pole without the shelves? If so would there be gaps in the rug where the shelves are supposed to go?

I can't remember because once we got this it looked really ugly in our apt and we sent it back for a refund. Hope that helps. :)

Our cat uses the shelves to get up and down. I have not tried it as just a pole to know if she could get a good enough grip on it to climb it. The whole system is sturdy and we are satisfied that it serves the purpose for which it is supposed to. It is not a decorator item, but then we had no intention or expectation that was going to add to the fashion appeal of our house. It is a cat toy.

Yes. You could easily set the pole up without the shelves. No,I don't believe there would be gaps in the rug where the shelves are supposed to be. I would suggest that you be sure to tighten the pieces together firmly the first time it is assembled. Occasionally check it as it gets used. This will prevent it from wobbling. Good question and out-of-the box idea. Cats will love it! Hope this helps.

Yes you could. There would not be gaps in the carpet but the seams between the sections would be visible.

It would show gaps without the shelves. I actually wrapped sisal rope around mine and covered all three sections with the rope. I did install the shelves and my cats use them to get up and down from the top of a tall cabinet that has a cat bed on top. Without the shelves, I don't believe that they could get down safely.

It should screw all the way together. My kitties love the shelfs, but also like to climb the pole at a thousand miles. It was a good buy.

The shelves are not adjustable, but I assume you could leave one or both out if you wanted.

You can position the shelves anywhere between the top and bottom of the poles, but they recommend not to install the bottom shelf more than 6 inches high. I think you could go a lot more tho if you are not going to put a lot of weight on the other shelves.

The shelves are at fixed heights. You could leave out the middle or bottom shelf, and you may be able to get away with leaving out both, but I think you kinda need to put in at least 2 shelves, to maintain the stability of the legs. I should think it possible, with some careful drilling to place holes at other heights. The bottom of the bottommost shelf is @ 3-3/8" in off the ground and the top of it @ 7-1/4" above the ground. The top of the middle shelf looks like it would be @ 21-1/4" off the ground.

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.

The height between the shelves is 15 inches so you could feasibly leave out a shelf when assembling it but you would want to secure it at the bottom somehow because it is wobbly when just hanging

I really dont think so. There are pre-drilled holes for the shelves so i dont think that would work.

Yes, it can be built without the bottom shelf, but it provides a great amount of stability. It may be very wobbly without it.

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

Yes you have to drill holes or use nails. There is no way to have shelves without making some holes.

I think it should be OK if you have to drill thru pole and use metal screw. Make sure pole are good firm from ceiling and floor. Can the place on beam to attach the 2 shelf, are more safety than pole. Good luck!

with the wheels on, the height from the floor to the top of the "pole" , vertical support, is 75.5". You could cut it off at the ht you desire with tool that does such things. And you can place the shelves wherever you desire.

I don't see why you can't, but you can't do it with the shelves at the same height as they'd occupy the same space on the "co-mingled" poles. That being said, you can buy connector units that allow you to connect independent shelves together into a cohesive unit if you really need them joined and not just standing right next to each other.

If you don't want shelves, simply don't put them in. This unit is sturdy enough it does not use the shelves to stabilize it. You can also order extra shelves. But you cannot order it without the shelves. If you have shelves you are not using, I would be interested in buying them - if I haven;t ordered them online yet. But you could also sell them on eBay. Just be sure to name it correctly so people searching will find it.

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

the stability would suffer and I believe the table would look rather gangly without the lower shelf; however, you could possibly darken the divots to make them disappear with paint. They do not go through the leg...only on the inside.

The poles are individually assembled so it looks like you could leave off the middle shelf. It is not very tall with all 4 of them though so you may consider putting your bigger item on the very top shelf. I hope that helps. You may want to ask others who have purchased this to see what they have to say.
