Would I be able to leave the middle shelf off?

Yes all you would have to do is remove the glass, but the shelves are not adjustable

You could but you would have the little tabs that hold the shelf that would stick out

The middle shelf can be removed, it just sits on small metal supports spaced around the sides and the back of the unit. With the middle shelf out you have about 20 inches of space from the bottom shelf to the top shelf until you hit the one inch tall support bar under the front of the top shelf, and about 21 inches behind that support.

You can remove the shelves and the center upright. The span will be about 3 feet but the top of the cabinet is 3/4" MDF. Best guess is that it will be fine.

The shelves are not adjustable, but I assume you could leave one or both out if you wanted.

There is a frame member that comes up the back of the desk unit, then curves out toward the front of the desk. The shelf on top can be left off but the 2 frame pieces will be very visible and may cause a hazardous condition. Personally, I would not leave the top shelf off for safety reasons, if nothing else.

Yes. You can adjust the middle shelf. There are holes up and down the legs, so you have many options of middle shelf placement.

No, the bottom shelf can't be removed. You might find this table not deep enough for use as a desk.

Yes, I believe you can just leave the middle shelf out. There are double screws on each leg that holds the shelf but they are not necessary for the integrity of the bench. It feels very sturdy and I really like that for sitting on while putting shoes on etc.

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

Yes. Middle shelf is welded to uprights from lower shelf, so that only adjustment is in height of top shelf above fixed middle and lower. You could saw the middle shelf off, and still bolt top shelf supports to lower shelf uprights, with original high-low limits, but likely minor loss of strength (due to less overlap) at highest position.

They are completely adjustable. I'm not sure I would remove it completely, just for stability. I have my middle shelf about 5 inches from the top one.

The back poles are continuous, so you cannot leave them off. You could leave the shelf off, but the poles will remain really tall.

Actually middle shelf is not moveable and I believe if you don't assemble into closet, it will not be sturdy. Haven't tried it without it.

Probably not. There are two open shelves and the construction is such that the middle shelf cannot be left out. The upper shelf is a bit more than a foot high, he lower less than 9". While they both are about 24" wide at the front, they narrow very quickly to accommodate the corner.

The poles are individually assembled so it looks like you could leave off the middle shelf. It is not very tall with all 4 of them though so you may consider putting your bigger item on the very top shelf. I hope that helps. You may want to ask others who have purchased this to see what they have to say.

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.

The shelves are adjustable, you can put the middle shelf higher or lower to accommodate big things in the bottom. But to answer your question, you could leave out the middle shelf but remember that the shelves are what hold the cart together so any removal could make it wobbly. In looking at my cart I see no reason why you couldn't place the middle shelf an inch below the wood top and use it as a utensil draw. That would give you almost the entire cart of free space and keep the integrity.
