Could it be used without one of the shelves installed for taller items?

No, the legs fit into each shelf when assembling so you need each shelf. And for stability you would probably even need to use the top shelf too. Sorry!
1685278
Yes, if you cut the shelf, but the shelves add stability. I would only remove a shelf if the unit held only light weight.

No. The uprights are pre-cut and support the next shelf up. I have used these as shown and as two shorter 2-shelf units side by side by not using one set of the uprights. You could do that and put your taller items on the top.

The supporting poles are inserted into the shelves. I do not think you can eliminate any middle shelve for taller items.
1685281
I don't think so. The vertical posts are just tall enough to fit into the shelves. Maybe they sell longer posts? Or you could make your own out of PVC piping I'm sure.

I don't believe so because the supporting columns on the sides are the length of the distance between shelves. The columns fit into holes at the end of the shelves. You could cut the shelf at both ends inside of the holes but then I would question whether the resulting unit would be structurally sound. In the words, the shelves are not adjustable.

I only have one, so I can't really say. I would get a taller one if you needed more shelves. It's sturdy enough for shoes but not for books, plants, etc.

yes. you could remove the shelf above, but you wouldn't be able to re-insert the shelf on the frame elsewhere. there are only the four pre-drilled holes for the shelves. if you don't mind one less shelf, it'd work just fine in my opinion.

Yes you can leave a shelf out but it's not as stable. There's 11 inches between shelves.

I have no idea! That would be a question for the manufacturer -- or at least someone who is or has been using it that particular way. Sorry I could not be of more help to you on this issue. I have always used mine with the three shelves -- at varying heights -- but always with the three shelves installed.

very sure that you can... the shelves are adjustable so my suggestion is just to make sure that whatever you are putting in will have adequate space...

Yes you can. Just move one of the shelves up to next notch and it will fit.

No, there are specific holes in the spine to fasten the shelves. I suppose you could leave a shelf off. The capacity would be the same, though, as the shelves don't really take up much space.

You would need more space than that. I have a shelf right there as well. I installed it at an angle at first, got it snug and then rotated it underhand tightened it carefully with a plier. But there is not much space to play with, they should have put the fasteners on the bottom

Although it may be possible, the overall strength and stability of the shelf would not allow a stacking configuration. How would you use a 10Ft shelf ?
583278
Yes. It comes completely unassembled so you could only use one shelf if you wish.

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 am not sure, but there are separate pieces to it at different lengths. If you need it shorter you can just leave a section out, but you might not be able to use all of the shelves if you do.

Hello, it probably can stand freely without leaning against the wall, but you would probably want the extra support if you plan to put things on the shelves.
1639189
Yes you can. You have to screw this shelf into the structure. I'm not sure but it might reduce the stability of the entire structure if it's not used. Maybe not too much though.

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.

Maybe, if you have a plan for securing it. Otherwise, it's there for balance and stability. You might be able to leave the braces on the end of the shelf there for support and remove the small rods that make up the shelf. But it would require some work.
