Can the top shelf be left off?

Yes it can. The top shelf kind of pegs onto the table top. So without it you would just have a couple of small holes.

The bottom, middle, and top shelves are required for structure. The other two can be removed.

Not sure if that will work.The top shelf has a hinged door attached to it. The next lower shelf is just set in so you probably could leave that one out. As I mentioned in a previous review, my husband had to re-drill the holes for the screws to make them go in straight and keep the sides aligned. Hope that helps

Yes, you can leave the dividers off. There are grooves on the surface of the shelf which allow you to slide the dividers on and off easily, or into any position you prefer.

There are 2 bolts holding the shelf bracket to the back and 4 bolts that hold the shelf to the bracket. it is no problem to remove, or just leave off.

The middle shelf in the bottom area can be left out, but not the top section.

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!

Yes you can . But the shelf is actually between the main back (which is in sections.on the bottom of base theres two philip type screw heads. The top is caps that hold it together. So unscrew carefullay and it will come apart.

Yes, the top may be removed if you wish. You may also place the hide away any place you like.

They are all separate pieces..so I think you would be able to leave that shelf out..but there would be empty holes on the frame

Yes, it can. You assemble everything so you don't have to put the top shelf in if you don't want to.

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.

The shelf rests on (or more accurately fits over) 2 rods that run from left to right and act as spreaders for the legs. So yes, you could leave the shelf off but I would NOT recommend leaving off the rods that support it, as they add stability to the table and keep the legs the correct distance apart. This is a very solid table when assembled as directed, not sure why you would want it without the shelf? It really does not get in the way and gives it a nice, finished look. Hope this helps, we have been very pleased with this well designed table.

I assembled it 4 years ago, so hard to remember. The shelf was definitely it's own piece that was slipped onto the legs. My guess is yes you could omit, but it would probably impact stability.

You can space them out however you want. It is entirely up to you. The bottom and top shelves have a specific spot, but the other 3 can be however you want them to be.

Yes you can leave the top off if you want. You can also change the heights of the drawers if you want. The top snaps on and off easily.

Yes. The storage arrive in pieces so you just skip the 2nd shelf when you put them together. :)
