Is the middle shelf optional? Can anyone with exp on this comment if its optional, or can someone suggest another similar cart with a more spacious bottom shelf?

Yes, the middle shelf can be left out. I mix and max shelves and other parts according to my needs. Some pieces have extra shelves, others have only the minimum of 2 shelves a top and a bottom, some are close to the top shelf others mid or at the very bottom. It will depend on how much weight you are placing on the units if it would be wise to place a bottom shelf. For example I have some of the Kitchen Microwave Carts with Stainless Steel Top that I use with a single shelf up high for it only has a toaster oven and a crock pot on it. Then I use another one to hold my air compressor, over 100 pounds, so I put a bottom shelf down low and a sliding shelf up high. So mix and match sensibly to your heart's content. There are spare parts, shelves, posts, etc on their factory website. Yet the shipping charges can be quite high so check it out before you buy.

The interchangeable shelf can be moved from either rung. The lowest is 3" from the ground and the second one up from it is 7" from the ground. I have the 3-tier shelf and I really love it! I may come back for this one later!

Not really easy to separate the cart and the unit. It would have no legs to steady it. Why not get the smaller table-top one. It looks the same but a bit smaller and no cart.

Melissa, I've had my cart for about a year AND LOVE IT! There was minimal assembly...I can't even remember...maybe just snapping on the wheels. I'm terrible at assembling stuff and it was easy for me to put together. if I can do it, anyone can. It's sturdy and so easy to use, don't let a little assembling shy you away from this awesome, affordable cart.

We use this cart without the top portion but have equipment that weighs about 90lbs on the bottom part of the cart without any trouble. The top part secures with a couple of bolts on each corner, but I'd say you could easily put 40-50lbs on the top shelf. Just be careful not to make it too top heavy so it doesn't become easy to tip over.

I am not sure what you are asking! There is another shelf/cart for sale that does have only the top shelf.

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

In regards to the question of whether the shelf is removable, I figure I should clarify that the shelf can only be removed by partially disassembling the cart (or by never installing it when you initially assemble the cart). So, if you always want the shelf or never want the shelf, it will work well for you, but if you want a shelf that you can easily attach and remove from time to time, then this shelf would not be very practical for you.

The middle shelf is 15-1/4" Deep X 14-1/2" High X 23-1/2" Wide. Hope this helps.I have a large microwave. I prefer my micro on the top shelf. My son added a nice piece of wood to the back (it can't be seen) by using small metal "L" brackets. He stained the wood & screwed it to the brackets. I have my toaster oven in the center shelf. So, there are variations you can do with this cart, if need be.

Not too big...just a little bigger than the shelves. Assembly is required of the entire cart.

probably not . middle and bottom shelf only have one bolt on each face, if you drilled and doubled up it might be alright. this is far from being a quality shelving cart , so don't expect much ... basically your getting what you pay for .

You can set your middle shelf to multiple heights but I have mine set so the bottom area has 8 inches of height and the top has 5 inches. Hope that helps.

Yes, you can assemble the end tables without the lower shelf. The end tables are put together in the same way as the center table. However, if you dont install the lower shelf then the slots for that will show.

It is 3 shelf and very sturdy. I used it to transport and hold heavy medical equipment at home. It is all metal tubing and shelves. Good wheel clearance to roll over any carpeted or solid surfaces. The handle allows for easy push/pull. You have the option of leaving out the middle shelf if you want to place tall items on the lower shelf. Hope this helps.

The distance between the middle and lower shelf is fixed. No, the middle shelf cannot be removed. The cart can be considered 2 pieces. The lower piece which is the bottom shelf and the middle shelf, like a 2 shelf cart. The top part is like a table with legs, and the legs attach to the lower cart with screws.

I'm not going to be much help, because I couldn't find anywhere that sold a cart like this without the storage containers. Maybe someone else will respond that knows someplace to buy one. Good Luck!
