Edge on the shelves Can anyone tell me how high the edge is around the shelves? I need to know if I can put my toaster oven on a shelf and open the door. Thanks!!

the holes the poles slide through typically are wider on the bottom, that fit over tapered wedges on the poles. I have installed shelves upside down, but it is not as secure.you can always cut a board to fit in the bottom of the shelf, effectivly reducing the flange of the shelf wall

From the pictures, it looks like there are definitely edges around the shelves. You might want to try the Trinity Utility cart, there are no edges on that one.

Can the shelves be installed "Upside-Down" from shown? That is: With 'Edge' down instead of 'Up?'

No. It was not designed to do that. The under cabinet toaster ovens come with heat shield to protect the cabinet as well as mounting brackets. This is made to be placed on counter. Even if you built your own shelf, the oven is 11" tall and most cabinets are 18" off the counter. This would only leave you 8" under the oven minus the thickness of any shelf you built. You would not gain any useable counter space. Not worth all that trouble. PG

Mine is under the counter open in front and side about one inch from the wall in back. The sides are solid. Very happy with purchase.

The answer was posted above. I love these shelves. They are sturdy and fit perfectly in my cupboard.

I would have to get back to you on the exact demensions on the top shelf. I bought this for my mom, and she has a regular size toaster oven on the top shelf, and a standard microwave on the 2nd shelf-she loves it. Will get back to you on dimensions.

I have not figured that out yet. There are several shelves where the lip is on the underside of the shelf - and we followed the instructions to the letter!! We were tired enough that we've just left it instead of tearing the whole thing apart. All we keep on those shelves are jello and macaroni boxes.

I can fit a loaf of sunbeam white bread and thomas bagels on the top shelf. They consume the entire shelf without smashing the bread. I keep cookies, crackers, artisan bread. large loafs in the bottom.

There is a little over 13.25 inches between the two shelves. That is where we put our microwave, no on the top shelf.

The element on the top of the oven gets red/hot. I guess it could be used for toasting. I have done tomatoes with parmesan cheese, and steaks but have never done toast. The element seems a little far from the rack, about 6 inches. I love the unit!

The back of the toaster is not flat. There is a "bump out" so you can put a round pizza inside. The width of the toaster at the sides is narrower than the width at the middle.

I'm not home so I can't check, but it isn't any wider than the top (even though the picture makes them look like they're wider). They are about even with the edges of the top so it can snap into an additional shelf (if you use them for stacking)

What do u intend on putting inside it? I have paperweights and little statuettes in there. It's thick glass shelving a little less than 1/4 inch thick. The doors are tempered glass so I figure the shelves are.

I have a big toaster convection oven on the big shelf. Dog food canisters and lots of canned goods on the rest. It's very sturdy and strong. A nice piece. Looks good too. Do it!

There are multiple holes that you can use to adjust the height of that middle shelving part. If you put it in the middle like I did it makes it about even at 5 1/2 inches on both the top and the bottom. To me the picture of the product looks like they put the shelving in the top most holes and that's why it appears bigger on the bottom than the top. I think if you were to put the shelf in the bottom most hole or the top most hole, it would probably give you around 7 inches in one and 3 1/2 or 4 in the other but take that with a grain of salt since I just eye balled it and only measured how I have it now.

You should also have plenty of room between top and another surface, it gives off heat. Sad thing is all toaster ovens suffer from this, figured someone would have fixed that but it is a great oven.

Back of toaster oven bows outward allowing more room in side. Please consider the bump out when thinking of where you will put it.

I notice that they don't show the back of the door on purpose. I just got the PDS-500, and the black box that is covering the works, and takes up most of the back of the door, is about 1 3/8 ". The distance from bottom, without pad, to rail is about 3 3/8. That only leaves 2" inside for stuff. So, how deep is the works plastic thing? Must be less on this one. Are you sure of your depth inside with door closed?I might be getting this one, though it does cost 75% more. Let me know. Thanks!
