What about the two polls that support the top rack, can I leave them off? I just want the cutting board and two lower shelves. thanks

The back poles are continuous, so you cannot leave them off. You could leave the shelf off, but the poles will remain really tall.

Unfortunately you can't. I imagine you could cut the metal poles on your own, but I would look for a rack that would just come that way.

Yes, just leave them off. I believe all six poles are identical. Then just finish off with the plastic end caps.

Just looked at the directions to jog my memory. Yes you can leave the top poles off as they screw into the bottom ones.

slide out shelves, non-mechanical. I removed two shelves because of the big wine bottles. I don't remember whether the racks have stops. The metal covers on the ends come off easily. Haven't found the correct adhesive to keep them on, so I don't bother. Love it for water, soda, and wine set on lowest temperature. Has a sabbath mode too. I use it to keep people out of the cooking area.

The top is only good for the top. All other shelves are interchangeable, and may be eliminated if a shorter stand is desired. Hope that helps. It's a good set.

I think the unit needs the bottom rack for stability. You could probably forgo the front and side shelves.

There is a frame member that comes up the back of the desk unit, then curves out toward the front of the desk. The shelf on top can be left off but the 2 frame pieces will be very visible and may cause a hazardous condition. Personally, I would not leave the top shelf off for safety reasons, if nothing else.

You can keep in two separate pieces (dont have to be stacked). It comes in two sections. You will love the quality of this rack. Good luck

You can leave as many shelves off as you want from top down, but that you know the four posts will still be sticking up on top. They are very nice, sturdy shelving units, and nice that they are on wheels to move easily. Amazon sells other shorter Seville shelving units if you need something shorter.

You can actually have the desk and shelf stand separate. So you can switch them around if you want.

yes. I think I have placed it in the top rack and the lower shelf. If you have any concerns, put it on the top shelf only.

Yes, technically, I am sure you can leave out any two of the lower dividers, but it might impact the integrity due to the weight distribution. You cannot leave out all, because it will be impossible to keep the rack together with only the back plywood holding the weight. On the other hand I would not advise leaving out either of the end pieces as I don't recall if that exposes unfinished particle board edges. I also would not leave out more than one of the divider, again not sure how much structural impact it will create in the middle. The doors are independent of the dividers. BTW, they are sliding doors.

Absolutely yes, very simple. I actually removed the top tier and only use the lower tier for now. When I need more hanging space, then I install the top tier back on. It takes only a minute to put that in. I also own a one-tier but find the two-tier rack a lot more convenient. In fact, getting the one-tier made me purchased the two-tier. Can't live without it now!!!!!!!!!!!

Its easy to leave out the wine rack shelves. They interlock to each other but have no grooves or bolts to the buffet so no one would know they were left out. I preferred to use the space for something else.

The top shelf can be lowered, you just need some muscles to remove it. There is a black plastic thingy under the metal that keeps the shelf in place. You can lower the black thing and then put the shelf again at the level you need it to be. Also a nice feature are the legs, they have black screws that be screwed in or unscrewed to level the entire shelf unit if you don't have a perfectly straight surface. However, you still need to take the poles into account. I hope this was helpful.

The shelves help stabilize the rack. I wouldn't risk ii, especially if you are placing heavy items on the top shelf.

Hi RobNo there are three separate sections and they are not removable. It seems to keep things pretty tidy!

I wouldn't recommend that. Maybe leave the top one off but not the bottom one. It would be unstable I think.
