can the criss cross part be removed so there is just the shelf area?

Yes, absolutely! There is nothing that is anchoring the criss cross part into the cabinet- I double checked mine before answering, just to make sure! Essentially, you can build the cabinet and just leave out the part where you can store wine. Hope that helps!

The bottom shelf can be removed. However, the shelf does a lot for the stability of the table, so you might want to be careful. With ours the shelf actually helped to make the legs look straight as well.

Yes. There is a divider cutting it in half lengthwise and width wise. The divider is snapped in so it is remove able.

You could remove a shelf but I do not know what that would do to the structural integrity of the unit. There are two steel rods that run the entire height of the unit in the back wood separators so you may need to put some sort of spacer between the blocks where you took out the shelf to keep the height the same.

The shelves are not removable and they are only vertical. The vertical arrangement worked well. I left some spaces empty so my cabinet does not look overloaded like the picture of it does.

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

You can omit the shelf but there is a piece of pipe along the front and back that must stay for structural support. A very nice desk

Yes. Thd bottom shelf is optional. However, depending on your space needs, there are two crossbars on which the shelf rests that would should probably not be removed.

Yes the shelves can be removed. They are on adjustable pins, and can also be moved to five different heights.

You can remove the lower shelf but it may affect the stabiltiy. I may contribute to side to side wobble. Have a nice day

When using this for over a year I have not tried to remove the center shelf. I recently got a new HP printer. The cart shaked so much when the printer was working that I took of the wheels. I do not find the cartwheels

Yes it can and I have done it! You have to cut it in half and put each piece on separate shelves.

No, the bottom shelf can't be removed. You might find this table not deep enough for use as a desk.

yes, you can remove that one in the middle. As long you dont remove the bottom one too, U will be save concerning the stabilty. I would not recommend both (bottom part and middle shelf) since then the whole desk may be loose its static.

It looks like you can leave the middle shelf out if you wanted to. Please see the installation instructions here: http://www.kitchensource.com/kitchen-islands/pdf/ca-1544-installation2.pdf

The top on this cage can be removed. The gray shelf can also be moved around.

You can take the middle shelf off, it's on shelving brackets. The rest, perhaps you can the screws will come off with an allen ranch. However I would not recommend it, I recently moved and all I did was take the middle shelf off. It's not too big and did not take too much room in the moving truck. Hope this helps.
