Can the overall height (top shelf) be reduced? We don't want it to be more than about 34" high. Could we cut the four posts if it came to that?

Just checked my cart and I see no reason why not. The uprights' caps pop off easily enough. The grooves every inch would be perfect for guiding a cut. Either a hacksaw or possibly even a pipe cutter could be used. Pop the cap back on you're all set. Good luck

I have cut down this type of post to get shelving units to fit in tight spaces several times to get a specific height. In most cases you can pop out the plugs from the cut off peace with a long 1/2" dowel rod. To get the correct location to cut at place the plastic shelf support brackets on the post as a guide mark the top edge of the of the support with magic marker and cut with a hack saw. Use a fine file to smooth out any burs and insert the caps. I used a rubber mallet but a soft block of wood will do just use care not to knock the plugs down inside the tube.

The posts stand 35 1/2 inches without the wheels, and just under 40 inches with the wheels. You could cut the poles down with a good hack-saw, however, they come with the plastic endcaps already in place. I don't know if you would be able to remove/replace them if you cut the poles down. The other consideration would be access to the baskets if you cut down the length of the poles. You can place the baskets wherever you want on the poles, but they are deep and depending on what you want to store in them, the lowered height will limit access. Hope this helps. Any other information I can give, please just ask. The posts stand 35 1/2 inches without the wheels, and just under 40 inches with the wheels.

it is 39" tall, but we have the highest shelf 6 " lower, so we got pipes sticking up. I guess it can be cut shorter.

Other responders have it - the center shelf can only join the top and bottom sections butted, not overlapped. Yes you could trim off the 4 top braces with a hack-saw if you need it a few inches shorter. Also, don't forget that the two sections can be assembled separately and joined side-to-side (or front to back) to make a half-height shelf system - sometimes advertised as a "workbench". I'm almost positive that the kit comes with the short slotted rods to link together the two shelf sections in this configuration.

No to both answers. It is not designed to have more that 4 shelves and the height of each shelf is fixed. I use this to display part of a Harbour Lights Lighthouse Collection and plan to add more units as needed.

As per Michael's response, it's meant to be as shown. I think you could do a couple of things. If you choose not to add the top tier of shelf (with uprights) you'd need to find 3 chrome circles to cover the open attachment (stick-ons?). If you just wanted to leave off the bottom (with the taller uprights) and have a very short table you could do that. Not sure what heights you need.

Removing the middle shelf may make it un-sturdy, not sure. The height from the drawer to the 3rd shelf is 29 1/2"

I did exactly that because I did not want the four shelves together...to keep the dogs out of the lower ones. If you ask the manufacturer he will provide you with the necessary hardware (wires and hanging rod) to make two sets of two from the four shelves... he posted some pix of mine on his facebook page. The company is completely user friendly.. I turned the shelves upside down so there is a bit of a lip to keep things from falling off :)

The shelves are at fixed heights. You could leave out the middle or bottom shelf, and you may be able to get away with leaving out both, but I think you kinda need to put in at least 2 shelves, to maintain the stability of the legs. I should think it possible, with some careful drilling to place holes at other heights. The bottom of the bottommost shelf is @ 3-3/8" in off the ground and the top of it @ 7-1/4" above the ground. The top of the middle shelf looks like it would be @ 21-1/4" off the ground.

Top shelf has two mounting choices approx 2 inches higher or lower. These are pre drilled holes in the vertical support. If you are handy and have a drill and bits capable of drilling through metal you might be able to put that top shelf any height you want.

I think you can make it into any configuration you choose. If you need to drop the second shelf to accommodate your 12" paper, you might not be able to hold anything below. But it is really long and I think will hold a lot.

Yes. There are plastic stoppers that will snap around grooves in the bars. You can even make the counter lower if you don't mind the tops of the shorter bars poking through. The one piece of advice I'll give is that it's important to preconceive how high you want the lower shelves. You can make adjustments later, but the whole unit is put together from the bottom up so if you want to adjust the height you have to disassemble the unit from the top.

Yes..and will be probably be more stable. Just leave off 1 shelf and 4 of the 8 posts.

The top shelf can be adjusted. It's lowest setting would allow a top shelf with 14 3/4 opening leaving only 11 1/4 for the bottom.

Not exactly. You'd have to cut or file the post down for it to fit. We put them on top of 4" x 4"s and we had to sand/file them in places where the wood wasn't exactly 4" x 4"

All four of the Basic posts come with a slot made into each post to accept only the top,middle and bottom. I did not use the middle shelf so I could fit larger items on the bottom. So you cannot reconfigure shelf heights. Its a great bench. Recommend you have hand-clamps when assembling to hold pieces together as you drill into them.

You cannot adjust the shelf heights, they're determined by the spacers, which are different sizes. The heights are listed in the product description.

You could screw the top pin into the second tier though. That may work to decrease height and still be functional.
