I see the picture, there are two levels of board are placing lower than the edges which are not placing on TOP like other, is this flexible to change?

The shelving units are flexible, and the shelves can either be down inside forming a wall around the shelves or on top so the edges are turned down so the shelves are flat.

Mine were initially not level. I had to loosen the two platforms and then tighten the crossbar that holds them together. Next, I tightened the platforms; paying close attention to keep their levels even. A little bit of a pain but much more aesthetically pleasing. I do not think having one platform higher than the other will pose any problems other than looks as long as everything feels solid.

Not much flexibility. If you don't get a good fit, one point wont be as strong and then it is not a sturdy fit. I noticed this with my wall. I have a section that must be off a bit and the top two points dont reach the wall, even though the bottom points do. It wont shut in that area.

It might look a little awkward because only the large and the smallest base have a flat surfaces. They sell smaller tiers if you wanted to do that

We store our ladder on these (and then put a few things on top of the ladder). The supports do shift quite a bit when we put the ladder up and bring it down, so I would assume boards would shift as well. Similar to what was suggested earlier...I don't see why a few well-placed drilled holes and some appropriate hardware (or even zipties) wouldn't hold your boards/planks in place. Good luck!

The shelves are not flexible. It is a great shelf though and easy to put together.

with a thin plywood layer on top of the bottom row, you can start a new row of these on top. Not directly stackable.

You can not alternate them, bottoms always have to go down. There is strip/brace between each row to keep them in place.

It looks like the top of the headboards differ. One is rounded, the other is squared off.

I began tinkering with my table and discovered another change you would have to make. There is a half moon notch on either side of the bottom shelf for the top brackets to pass through when folding. You would have to router out new notches in the edges of the bottom shelf to match the new positions of the brackets. If you don't fold, no worries. There always something.

I have had the same problem. Lifetime tables have redesigned the new tables and the edges are thinner for stacking tables. It is a problem that you should take up with lifetime to see if they have an answer. I have not done that yet.

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!

You could leave one of the two halves of the green tabletop off... That would create a gap. Otherwise, no. The two boards are pretty much flush.

It's more like chip board. Not flexible but it can be broken if you try to bend them.

Cut the old board out, remove screws and fasten the new board down with screws in the surface. Recess the screws a bit and they're hardly noticeable. Much like some screws in steps, where you can't get the jig in place. Worked for me.

There's a plastic (polyethylene?) board/stiffener along the bottom. It's removable (just sits at the bottom), somewhat flexible, but rigid enough to keep the bottom somewhat flat without sagging.

Not very well. Only the upper board declines. What supports it is the upper bar you see in the image, between the two posts. So if you remove the bar altogether, it declines down onto that lower bar. This set is okay, but the main reason I bought was because it's cheap. It's a ways off, but I'm already planning to replace it with something sturdier, bigger, and heavier.
