I'll be putting these in shelves below island. Do they slide in both directions or only one?

Only one direction. It is limited because there is a rear bracket bar normally attached to the back of the cabinet.

hi, I have this shelf. I use only 2 shelves out of 5. But if you need 2 next to each other, you probably need 2 packs if you want it perfect (because the first shelf is key to set up the structure).

There are three shelves and the expansion piece slides out from beneath the right side of the shelf. This makes for a small difference in height on the right side, but it doesn't interfere with using the shelf.

The sides do not go down, they are permanent. There are 2 shelves, one is an ironing board which my daughter uses more than any other part of the set. The holes for the side shelves are pre-drilled but aside from that, I think you can leave them off without it really affecting the whole set.

Yes it slides either way. I installed it all the way at the end and it works great.

Shelves on both sides, the back is the wood bead board with black trim, looks good. I keep the shelf lifted as I have two counter top chairs and we eat breakfast here. It is a great island, but warning, difficult to put together. we ended up hiring someone as we aren't that great at these kinds of things. but I love my island.

Yes, they might slide a little during setup but as you get weight on them they stay where you want to. The two piece design is also a little agitating at first also.

I believe it can be 2 separate shelves. Note how the wheels are only on one.

Yes both side slide, if you look in the picture you can see a little crack that is were it can slide, like an inch on each side.

I have mine stacked as you've described and have no problem with them sliding off each other. They have grooves in them to keep them secure and seem to work quite well.

There is the base shelf and then one actual shelf, so two shelves on each side. My island is up at my lake house so I can't tell you how deep the drawers are, but they can hold a silverware container. Yes, they have shelves on both sides.

The shelves slide in and out but only a few inches. I haven't noticed if they slid up and down I couldn't even get mine to stick so I haven't utilited it much yet.

If you use one basket yes, but both together, no. Maybe buy a single shelf?

Initially, there was a little stiffness but there is no release that I am aware of. My shelf moves smoothly and is very sturdy. Try sliding the shelf backward. (It is very easy to get confused when attaching the slides to the edges of the shelf. When marking the drill holes on the desk, the slides should be in the closed position. The end-caps on the innermost slides should be facing front. In use, the slides extend the shelf in one direction only.) If the shelf moves backward -- or the end-caps are in the back -- you have the slides reversed. If you decide to just turn the whole unit around, you'll be resting your palms on the sharp edge of the shelf. You'll have to actually trade the slides to make sure the front of the shelf (with rounded edges) is facing you. If none of the above explains your problem, then I have one other suggestion. It is extremely important to be careful about marking and pre-drilling the screw holes. (Both mark and MEASURE before drilling.) If the L brackets are not perfectly perpendicular to the desktop and parallel (and equidistant) with each other, torque may prevent the glides from sliding in their channels. Good luck.

Yes they are sliding doors . However there is no handle on the door so it can be a little tricky to slide the glass doors. Shelf can be accessed easily.

Both shelves pull out all the way. The top shelf can be put in one of two positions and they are both the same depth.

I only have one so I am not positive but it doesn't look like it. They are quite a bit more narrow at the bottom than the top so I think the top one would just slid into the bottom one or rest on the objects inside.
