When assembling, do I have to have all 8 cubes, or can i leave some vertical pieces out to create a shelf? Thank you!

Not possible, the vertical pieces are all one piece and the horizontal are all separate pieces. If you did this you'd end up with two very low shelves and not anywhere near stable.

You cant leave out the tall center divider thing, it is 3 long boards, 1 medium board up top, 1 medium board on bottom, and 6 short boards in the middle.

To keep it structurally sound, you must install the three vertical boards, affixing them to the top and bottom end pieces. The horizontal shelves are affixed to the vertical boards. For the same reason, I would recommend you install all horizontal shelves to maintain a proper rigid fixture. You do not have to install the backing (facades); I did not install mine. Please note I am referring to a configuration as shown in the picture (i.e., with the shorter end piece on the floor). I have also seen these units turned on their side with the long end on the floor, making them a not as tall and more accessible for children.

Ours came assembled in a VERY large box--this is a very tall cabinet. Make sure you have help to unbox it and move it to the location you want it. Be aware that there are items fastened to the bottom of the furniture, such as the key. Make sure you remove them before setting the cabinet upright. Of course, you will have to install the shelves at the heights you want them to be. It took a little work to get this item unpacked and moved to its proper corner, but it has been a huge space-saver for us in our little retirement home, and my wife's mother's china is proudly on display.

Yes.You can do either. I have made four level shelves with the verticals going all the way to the basement ceiling and I have made single level mini tables. The picture you see on the site is where the horizontals cover the vertical posts, but you can do either way.

I wouldn't recommend more than 3 high unless you're using some sort of adhesive, because there is nothing to lock them together. I have two stacked for a nightstand and I frequently notice they have slid out of alignment. I would buy their pre-assembled 2-3 shelf high bookshelves or cabinets. They are a better value per shelf and they will be more appropriate for that use.

You can use the same cube. : ). When it is close to finishing one section, I move it to the next part. By experimenting on the position, I can do three rooms with two moves.

Yes, you can leave out the 2 shelves and add an extra clothes bar (not included). The vertical divider is fixed and can not be moved. The top shelf is also fixed and part of the structure so it is can not be moved. Otherwise you are free to do as you please. I use mine strictly as shelving storage for a pantry and added shelves to both sides. It was necessary to add shelf supports since there are none on the left side. It is a very nice cabinet for the money.

I took mine apart to see if that would work. The unit assembles from the top with screw on caps that hold the leg pieces on. Then you slide a shelf onto the four legs. At that point you could use the legs from the second purchase and add another shelf and then put the feet on after that. As far as leaving a shelf off, I don't think the unit would be sturdy enough. If you want to make a three tier out of two , that should definitely work.

hi, I have this shelf. I use only 2 shelves out of 5. But if you need 2 next to each other, you probably need 2 packs if you want it perfect (because the first shelf is key to set up the structure).

Sharon, I did not keep the directions but it was a pretty straight forward assembly. First connect the two side to the back and then start connecting the bottom shelves to the assembly working your way to the top. The top tilt-able shelf. I did have a bit of a problem keeping the screw cover buttons in place and ended up putting a very small dot of glue on one place of each one as they popped out.I hope this helps you, it really is pretty easy to assemble.

Yes you could, the item comes "assembly required". So you would just set bottom tray out without setting up pillars to add second shelf.

When you put it together, you can decide how you want to space the shelving sections. I, too, had some taller items that I wanted the unit to accommodate so I made the space between the bottom and middle shelf bigger than the space between the middle shelf and top shelf.

Yeah, the sets are wholly modular. You can stack as high as you want, but if you add more than one or two shelves I'd worry about tipping. Be sure to secure it to the wall.

Honestly, it took 2 people to stack them because the boards, certain pieces in the beginning asks for you to stack it but the moment you let go of your hands, it falls apart... It's not user friendly when it comes to building but after it's done, it's worth it because mine turns without any trouble. It also feels very study after all the screws etc are installed in place :) hope that made sense!

That's a good question. I have it on the floor as it's shown in the picture so the middle divider is just a divider. I'd suggest getting single cubes and stacking them vertically instead.

The poles on the four corners come in two pieces and they screw together. You could get away with only putting together one half of the poles, but that would only be about 30 inches. If you are trying to just take the last foot off the top, then you cannot do that without cutting the poles. You can however move the shelves around to whatever height you want. So you can have a 4 shelves instead of 5 but it will still be the 64ish inches high. I hope this helps

Nope, the corner pieces come in 8 pieces, and they are held together evenly by the middle shelf. Overlapping them will not allow the shelf to fit, and even if you managed to do so, the shelf would no longer be sturdy, as the corner ends stacking on top of each other and held with the shelf is what gives it it's structural stability.If you have the tools, and the skill, however you can cut off however much you need from the top of the top corner pieces, as the rest of the shelves are all adjustable as to where you put them. Hope this helps.

You can place all of the shelves at whatever height you like, including the bottom. If you wanted more floor space under your shelf, you could just start your shelf stacking at a higher height. Hope this helps.
