Could the shelf be trimmed to fit a smaller space? This is the best shelf i could find but my space is only 28" wide, wondering if you think it might, without too much dificulty, be trimmed to fit my space. I am pretty handy with building. Just wanted...

Yes it can be trimmed. You will have to trim both ends for your desired length. Then drill matching holes in all six wooden strips. If you think you are handy enough to do this, then I would not hesitate purchasing this shelf. I love mine.

Hey WRJJR, I measured the radius of my old shelf (one of the straight sections from the center to the outside) & doubled it to get the length across (diameter). The shelf replacements only come in certain diameter sizes so then I picked the one that came the closest to my measurement!

No, You have the option of spacing the shelves as far apart or as close together as needed. Or you can skip putting a shelf or two in to begin with. I hope this helps.

Hi Kelly, I just went out and looked at mine, it does appear you have some play in where you set the shelves as every inch and a half or so there is a new notch for a shelf. If you have to go to 4 shelves, or go with minimal gap between you should have the flexibility.Hope this helps!

Never thought of it! Horizontally? Uummm, guest u could BUT u would only have one shelf and I do not see the point of getting this bookshelf. However, I do remember seeing one that would be more ur thing. The bookshelf is all blocked off, so no matter which way u put it, u can use the shelves!! Give me some time and will find the name and order # for u, if they Still have them. Will Let u know.

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.

As per Michael's response, it's meant to be as shown. I think you could do a couple of things. If you choose not to add the top tier of shelf (with uprights) you'd need to find 3 chrome circles to cover the open attachment (stick-ons?). If you just wanted to leave off the bottom (with the taller uprights) and have a very short table you could do that. Not sure what heights you need.

If your question about shelf clearance, you may arrange the shelves any way you wish, except the middle shelf that holds top & bottom legs together. You can see where these legs join in close-up pics. Hope this helps. I really like the shelve, just wish the legs were in one piece.

Peggy, I would not purchase this shelf if you're looking to corner mount it. I'd look for a unit that is made for a corner mount. From what I can recall, this will not mount directly into a corner.

Okay, I will say this much. I read here, and went to Rubbermaid. Shelves are SUPPOSE to be 28.25 X 9.25. After I received my storage units and put it together the actual dimensions of my unit's shelf are 29.5 X 10. This was for the top shelf. So, for those whom are curious, go to the local hardware store and get a 6'X10" common pine board and cut to length. Cut out the corners per the recommendation and these will fit very snug.

I don't believe it's possible to add another shelf. Spacing is limited. If you add another shelf system underneath, it will look uniform.

Check under the middle part which has other storage ideas, info under there. It will be much easier for you see. It can only go on solid shelf, using light weight things, I.e.kitchen towels, storage plastic wrap, foil etc. if u need extra space, it works.

I have a tight space too. 17 3/4 w x 10 3/4 h x 12 d My shelf is actually only 10 3/4, but the unit is nicely finished and so it looks OK. This was the closest fit I could find.

Even though it looks like One piece, its actually 2 separate pieces you must fit together on the wall. I bought 2 units so I had to fit 4 shelves together, it was a logistical nightmare but the end result is beyond amazing. As far as your question, I believe 52 inches would probably be a combination of both pieces but because they are separate it is up to you to make it vertical or horizontal. I would divide by 2 then ask yourself if you want it longer on the vertical or horizontal plain.

The bookcase is at our lake house and we aren't currently there so can't measure right now. If I recall correctly, the first shelf sits quite low so might be problematic for you. We can measure when we return in a couple of weeks.
