If the shelf can be separated from the desk, is there anyway to just pull it out more, while still being connected to get more usable space?

Depends how much more you want to pull the shelf out. It may be fine if you just take it out 4-5 in. But o you wouldnt be able to connect the desktop with the shelf and the upper board is just "laying" on top of the shelf. If you put something heavy in that corner and dont have kids at home who may shaking the desk, that may work. But honestly, all you will win is that little more surface. The shelf storage stays the same size. When i moved the desk the first time I accidently damaged the connection anyway and the desk is still standing stabil. But you have to judge if those few inch are worth that. Depends how much more you want to pull the shelf out. It may be fine if you just take it out 4-5 in.

Not without drilling and tapping new holes. The desk is designed this way.The shelf and the file drawer form the base for the desk top.

We've been extremely pleased with this desk. Five stars! It will take some time to assemble, however. If you pull the shelf out more, then the desktop won't be secure or have enough support. So, the answer to your question is "no".

Yes you can leave a shelf out but it's not as stable. There's 11 inches between shelves.

Yes you could but the shelves wouldn't be spaced evenly. They make a three shelf version of this if that helps.

The bottom shelf isn't very strong. I have a similarly sized case (Nzxt h2) and I chose to put it on the floor next to the desk.

I am not sure, but there are separate pieces to it at different lengths. If you need it shorteryou can just leave a section out, but you might not be able to use all of the shelves if you do.

If you are only putting the monitor on it sure but not the monitor and the tower. You would need to reinforce the shelve with "L" brackets under each shelf - that's what I did because I have a lot of books on them and my wireless printer. It's pretty study though, more than I expected it to be.

I can comfortably pull mine out about 10 inches. If u continue past that, the shelf begins to become unstable. One can pull the shelf out completely if necessary.

I don't see why you can't, but you can't do it with the shelves at the same height as they'd occupy the same space on the "co-mingled" poles. That being said, you can buy connector units that allow you to connect independent shelves together into a cohesive unit if you really need them joined and not just standing right next to each other.

Yes the little shelf comes off very easily. And the keyboard tray is almost the exact length or a regular keyboard. It's a great looking desk with a lot of room the only annoying thing is the instructions.

You can do it by not installing the metal sheet of one shelf. This metal sheet is supported by two rods. You can also eliminate one rod but it might result in a less strong bookcase.

Hello, Yes you can take off the cpu shelf. You do not need to attach the shelf when putting the desk together.

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.

Yes, there is a pull-out shelf, which can be mounted under either side of the L. On the photo, it's barely visible but is shown on the portion of the desk with the hutch above it.

I recommend not taking it apart if you can help it. You can take it apart if you can remeber where everything goes. I would suggest just taking the flat desk top off and transporting it in 3 pieces. That's the easiest way.

You could leave the left shelf off, but there will be open holes bit you could just add the screws in w/o the shelf. I don't think this would look good without the ss shelf, but u could still do it.

No, there isn't. Just one place to have the shelf be put in. Hope that helps.

Never tried that but probably as long as you had sturdy brace under bottom shelf, otherwise the shelves would I think pull apart
