Could you use two side by side for a deeper shelf? (I know there is workbench option, but I would like a deeper shelf that's also tall.

From what I can see I do not think this can be done. You would be better off using the work bench brackets. Jim

side by side would make the shelves longer. do you mean front to back - putting one shelf in front of the other to make it deeper? If so, I suppose you could but there are no instructions for this. If it were me and I wanted to make deeper shelves I would buy 2x8's for the junction between the two brackets. this would attach the brackets together, or alternatively you could come up with some bracing elements for the sides.

I have assembled six 2 X 4 shelfs and four sets are paired back to back between our two garage doors. The ones that are pared have identical shelf levels and could be loaded across the two. I did load several long boxes and some suitcases across the top of my two shelves, but normally the lower shelves only contain boxes and other stuff on only one of the shelves. My two longer shelf units (8 feet long) took three sets of brackets while the shorter units took one set of brackets each. On one of the smaller shelf units, I used several pieces of scrap plywood across two units making a smooth, wider shelf. Hope that helps.

There is no reason you could not do that but I would put a 1x4 underneath to connect together for stability.

I built a computer desk 36 inches wide by 48 inches long with just two of these. I used 4 x 1 1/2 by 6 (1inch by 5 inch nominal) for feet and to hold the top. I also put a 2 by 4 inch bracer down the length to prevent the MDF with Formica on top from sagging.

Yes you could use two side by side to make a deeper shelf. Just be sure to secure them together by vertical strapping either on the ends or underneath.

i did not construct mine that way. but i don't see why you couldn't. You may need to anchor the two shelves to each other for more support.

Yes! You can have 2 shelves 6" high and 2 that are 2' high. Whatever you need. I have 4 in my shop and they are all different

I just received two, hoping they would stack. No such luck. Although they do have a top shelf, it is not designed to fit with the bottom of another unit, so it's not possible to sit one on top of another. Too bad. A small design change would have allowed stacking.

Essentially, yes. it isn't supposed to though but you can make two small shelving units as opposed to one tall one.

I suppose, however, it would be best to obtain shelves more appropriate to your needs with the stability necessary. I think stacking would compromise the integrity of two units.

Yes, you can use just the top two tiers, definitely! There is a different set of 'inserts' to use if you're not using the whole stand. Another idea is to use just the bottom square and then put some sort of decorations in the middle. Hope it works for you!
771993
Yes! This is exactly how I use it. There are effectively 6 positions for the shelves, and you can use any of them. I'll try to add a customer photo to show this.
714958
No, you'd have to stack one on top of the other. I have done that for a desk that's too low and it works just fine.
801635
Yes you can, each set of shelves come with four double-sided bolts, simply construct the bottom shelf entirely. Then use the bolts to screw the second set of legs for the top shelf. I'm always impressed at how easy these types of shelves are to assemble. =)

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.

The shelves adjust to different heights. I use two rows for cds. The rest are dvds but if you have books the same size as a DVD I don't see why not.

I don't think I'd recommend that. It would take some adjustments, for sure, (like four small pieces of wood or sheet metal for each leg to attach the two shelves, since they wouldn't stack well otherwise) and while it's stable enough on its own, I don't think expanding it vertically would be the greatest decision, unless you plan to anchor it to the wall. If you want to buy two and attach them horizontally, you can definitely do that. That's what I did and it works beautifully. I've had that setup for about a year now and it's held up, even with an energetic 3.5 (now 4.5) year old grabbing his toys off the shelf.

The sides are all the same and the shelves fit onto the sides the same way, so I'm fairly certain you can take two and boule the height. It wouldn't be stable, though. The plastic sides and shelves are solid enough and the pieces fit tightly together, but it would tip very easily, I'd think. You'd have to have some way of preventing that.

No, the shelves keep the unit from wobbling. You might be able to get by using just 2 shelves. I'd keep looking, I'm sure what you want is available.
1050745
You certainly could but the height of the second shelf factory is 16" if I remember right. So you would have to build up the second shelf higher.
1601478
Yes. I have built them both ways. If you build it as two shorter units, one will have 3 shelves & one will have 2, however.

You are looking to stack two 3-shelf units? I don't think so, because the poles aren't long enough. Each pole is only long enough to support three shelves.
