I'd like to install these but my current cabinet has a small top shelf in the back and I can't see any way to remove it besides cutting it out?

You will have to cut the shelf out to fit this accessory in. Use a Fein reciprocating tool which is small enough to get into a cabinet space. Dremel makes an inexpensive knockoff of the Fein Multimaster that does a pretty good job, too.

I removed my shelf before installing mine. Works perfect. I used a small hand held hitachi disc saw or variable speed disc saw with a diamond blade. Worked great. These shelves are built solid and easy to install. You will not be sorry you bought it. Well worth the money.

You have to cut it out. Use a scroll saw or a hand saw and cut through, you should be able to pull it out the rest of the way.

I do not have them. I do no I have older smaller cabinets and it will no go in the doors. I have to store it elsewhere.

They are great shelves but I agree with Carly that they are much shorter than you expect. I have two, one on top of the other and to get the cabinet space that I was looking for I should have purchased three of them. I think your idea might possibly work but if it doesn't, you'd have to go up with them. Good luck!

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

You can, but it might be a bit wobbly. Cabinets using this type of construction typically rely on the back panel for horizontal stability. There's a 2 inch gap along the top that allows some airflow for things on the upper shelves.

there is a hole drilled in the glass that holds the shelf to the bracket, so they can't be moved. I have a problem with some of my larger components that have thicker cables/bigger connectors behind them. I am considering going to a Glass place and having them just cut me a larger shelf from glass that looks the same. Another option, for the connectors at least, is mounting a piece of 2x4 to the stud, then mounting the wall mount to the 2x4, giving me another 1.5" behind the components to work with. If I cut it to the right size and paint it with a flat black paint I think it will blend right in.

Be careful, screws holding top shelf are very short, and are in pressboard. I had mine colapse so I replaced screws with through and through, now will hold anything.

As you will see in the photo the top shelf has a fold down drawer front. If you take that shelf out the cupboard doors wont be tall enough and the side panels wont fit. The whole unit is a bit gappy and I wouldn't actually have brought it if I'd seen it in a shop. Not worth the effort trying to adapt to be honest.

The shelf is not removable and the back is solid. I suppose you might build it w/o the shelf but that would not be as designed.

All the shelves just lay on top of the rectangular frames so it's possible to remove them (or adjust their height). You can also use them as lower sets of shelving as shown is figure #2. Just be careful though since the shelving may be top heavy if only the upper shelves are used, especially when storing heavy items.

Not 100% sure, but you may have installed the shelf backwards. The instructions for this thing are not clear at all. See if maybe the side panels were put in backwards too.

The top is not easily removed. It is fixed onto to cabinet in the box, but could be removed by cutting the silicone and there may be some brackets also.

Home depot. Make your own little racks or have them cut the wood for shelves to your measurements and install. The little shelf that comes with it is too small for much of anything.

Not really. You could removed the top shelf by unscrewing it from the top, yet the CD holders are still attached and the unit's back side rails or back bones are still going to show. I suspect it may comprise the stability of the unit.

I am in the same situation. I need one too... these dimensions, to fit custom cabinetry that I do not want to modify. Wish I could help. I'll let you know if I find any options with the same dimensions. Please do the same for me.

Good question Rhiannon .. but I don't remember and no longer have the instructions. I seem to remember the wholes were all "pre drilled" therefore leaving me to believe "no" .. but if someone is "finish carpenter" handy, you may be able to. Sorry I can't be of more help. I do know I LOVE this little cabinet. Maybe ask the seller? Good luck

No, the top part can not be removed -- just the thin lid can. However, mine fits under the counter with plenty of room to spare. On the other hand, it doesn't fit inside any of my cabinets.
