Will it stand up without the two lower shelves on it? I want to put a cassette player on top, above a cpap oxygen concentrator.

I'm not sure about putting it together like that. You would lose some stability because there would be nothing to keep the posts in place. Don't think that would work.

I have no idea! That would be a question for the manufacturer -- or at least someone who is or has been using it that particular way. Sorry I could not be of more help to you on this issue. I have always used mine with the three shelves -- at varying heights -- but always with the three shelves installed.

No - the lower shelf is needed to keep the legs in line - you could, however, eliminate the middle shelf.

You could remove or not install the center shelf. The lower shelf needs to be installed to keep the unit ridged. The lower shelf can be installed so low it is nearly on the floor (maybe one inch off the floor). You then should be able to have a recorder on the top shelf, your oxygen unit on the lower shelf and still maintain the shelving unit rigidity.

Some are saying yes, others are saying no. Why no? If it is placed horizontally would the shelves still stay in place? THanks in advance. I am considering ordering two, one for an upright vertical bookshelf as pictured and another to go as a long bookshelf/console table in the same room.

It stands up just fine. I have it standing in my closet right now. No issues.

Yes, mine is standing vertical, but it wouldn't be sturdy enough to stack another unit on top.

Yes, I stacked two but eliminated one shelf as I cracked it by accident. Turns out that it was tall enough anyway. I placed it between the fridge and wall. When storing things keep heavier items on the bottom (soda/beer/canned food) to stabalize and boxed items on top. I also nailed a small piece of wood to the floor as a "stop" to prevent the cart from rolling all the was out and topling over. Hope this helps.

The shelves are adjustable, so you can put one right above the feet if you wish. However, you're not going to have enough clearance to do two (three, if you count the top) shelves of DVDs.

As the specs indicate two of the shelves are "fixed," but I suppose you could assemble it without the shelves. The shelves also contribute to the stability of the unit, so if you did that it might be a bit wobbly. There maybe units better suited for your purpose than this one. It does make a great pantry space, but I'm not recommending it for broom/mop storage.

No, the shelves keep the unit from wobbling. You might be able to get by using just 2 shelves. I'd keep looking, I'm sure what you want is available.

I dont think so. The bottom platform might be, but the top platform isnt. I think the shelves can be reversed to though.

It can stand alone, but the back of the side shelves are not finished wood and would look different from the side. It is a very heavy unit and not easy to move. Hope this helps.

The two side shelves can be taken off yes. I originally used mine for my speakers, but then I got a 32" TV that I use as a monitor now, and the shelves don't extend out enough to not be in the way. The stand alone looks fine too.

No. Sorry. The shelves are stationary. They are welded in place, which makes the unit sturdy, but not flexible.

Yes. That is why I took it down. Put it up for my elderly mother. Looked like it would fall on her. Didn't want to take the chance. Wouldn't suggest it for little kids. Pay a little more for a better shelf.

I did get two of these to stack. I can't explain it exactly, but I pried off the inserts at the top of the 4 poles of the bottom unit.Then, one at a time, I put each pole of the second shelf on top of the one from the bottom unit, and then put the small connectingpart around both poles. The result is a very small shelf right at the spot of connection, but the shelves above it can bespaced as needed. I don't recommend it for heavy objects at the top, but it is perfect in my bathroom for towels, etc.

maybe...it looks like the shelf could be left off...you would have screw holes in the vertical side pieces that you would want to plug somehow. it doesn't seem that the shelf is structural, just my best guess.

No, it SHOULD be stackable. I have 3 and some have holes in the top while others do not. None of the pegs were even close enough to lining up to stack it. I was able to drill a screw through myself in order to secure one shelf on top of another. Otherwise it works well for the money.

The shelf is in a fixed location. I think it is designed like this, to make the unit more sturdy.
