Is it possible to remove the bottom shelf completely? I want to keep a mini-fridge on the floor in between the desk legs.

there is a support beam under the shelf that helps to make the legs more sturdy

The shelf sits on a stabilizing bar, and so does the shelf above it. I guess if you didn't want care if you had two stabilizing bars, then you could not install the bottom one and could put a fridge under the desk. The desk is fairly sturdy, so I'm not sure if that bar is totally needed. It would just be up to you to decide.

No, I mean you could not install the bottom shelf, but the brace for it is metal from the frame that links the two sides. There is no way to put a fridge in that space.

The bottom self is connected to two support beams. I wouldn't think it would work as it would weaken the table.

The shelf can be easily removed; however, the bracket that supports it is a separate piece and would then also need to be removed. The shelf support itself is not mounted to the wall, but it is held in to the wall bracket by a couple of Allen head screws. The "ease" of removing the bracket is purely subjective. It could be done as regularly as you like but would take several minutes each time.

You can remove the shelves. The height of the shelves is not adjustable, however.

Yes, the top center shelf can be removed. However, it also works as a support to keep the shelf steady.If you remove this center shelf, I would advise that you do not place anything too heavy on it.I like this TV stand, it looks great with my other furniture, but it's not real Oak material so that was my only disappointment.Also Very easy to put together.

Yes, you can. It's just 4 screws that hold that bottom shelf in place. But, 2 things you should know: 1. that bottom shelf is adjustable. I have mine in a much higher slot than the one picture. 2. the bottom shelf acts as a stabilizer to the 2 long legs. If you take out the bottom shelf, the unit probably won't roll as smoothly and will not be as stable.

Yes it can be removed, sort of like the veggie bin in your fridge. Had to take it out in order to secure it to the base cabinet.

Yes, all shelves except the second from the top are removable. However, the shelves are not super-sturdy so if the boots are heavy then the shelf will likely sag, and it may make the unit a little more wobbly.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't lower the bottom shelf, but it would mean drilling new holes in the legs so it might not look that tidy. We gave the shelf away so I can't measure to see what the actual clearance is.

I dont think so. The bottom platform might be, but the top platform isnt. I think the shelves can be reversed to though.

The top surface of the bottom shelf is 5" from the floor. It's not removable.

Yes, it can. If your unit is like mine, you can take out both shelves without touching the counter. The center post has a screw that allows the two pieces of the center post to be shortened (and tensioned). After you do this, you can unscrew the shelves and take the whole unit out. It sounds tricky, but it isn't. It took me about 15 minutes to replace my top shelf. Good luck!

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.

Yes both the upper and lower shelf can be removed. This is a really sturdy stand.

Yes, it looks to me like you can leave off the bottom shelf, but the unit may be unstable without it. You would then have approximately a 17 1/2" clearance between the floor and the first shelf.

I returned the Gorilla Rack because it was too flimsy. I don't believe you can remove the bottom two shelves without substantially degrading stability. If the aquariums are heavy I'm afraid it will not hold the weight.

Yes, if you cut the shelf, but the shelves add stability. I would only remove a shelf if the unit held only light weight.

In regards to the question of whether the shelf is removable, I figure I should clarify that the shelf can only be removed by partially disassembling the cart (or by never installing it when you initially assemble the cart). So, if you always want the shelf or never want the shelf, it will work well for you, but if you want a shelf that you can easily attach and remove from time to time, then this shelf would not be very practical for you.
