How to the crossbars fit into the sides? Can I cut them shorter for a small space and still assemble it?

I don't see why you couldn't cut all the cross pieces. They do have a special kind of screw with allen wrench to attach to the board, but you could use any kind of screw for the side you cut. The only thing I don't like about this shoe rack is that the height of the bottom layer isn't tall enough to accommodate high heels.

Not without modifications. Looks like the shortest it will adjust to would be about 45". You could use a saw to cut the ends but you would lose some of the benefit of the arch. If cut down to 33" I would estimate that it would only arch out about 4" in the middle compared to a straight bar.

You can cut the metal, but the bar that makes up the long side is crimped at the ends to fit into the corner pieces, so you'll have to figure out a different way to get the pieces to attach. If you don't mind it being pretty rough looking PVC slips over the bars nicely and would work as connectors.

You can have this configured as wide open or zig zag. Simply fold the middle joint forward and slide the shelves through. It will shorten the overall width, so the shelves will stick out more on both sides.

Sorry, but we gave this to one of our sons and he lives away so I can't look at it. We installed it for him and I seem to recall the bar and mounts arrive assembled and you just attach it to the wall. I don't know if it could be shortened.

Yes, the bar can be shortened. A tubing cutter or a careful cut with a hacksaw will reduce the bar length to your needs. The bar simply slides into the wall mounted supports so measure carefully and cut as needed.

No, the frame is a fixed height. The cross bars are positioned by pre- drilled holes. It is one piece of wood in a ladder shape. Unless you are a carpenter; you would have to cut it. Choose another product.

The bar and ends are separate pieces, so I would think you could cut it. However, it is pretty light-weight and hollow, so it might make a mess of it unless you have precise tools.

The bars on the end are fixed (the green section), therefore the width cannot be adjusted. However, if you are handy with a saw, you can probably work with the width and make an adjustment.

You need to cut the trim out in one spot or make a shim to raise the two together, thats what i did, I just cut the end off a 2x4 to length

There is a small fairing on the front with a support beam that is a little higher than the rear of the rack. You could take the fairing and cross beam off the front to make the front and back the same height, but that would be a hassle.

If I remember correctly, the back was three pannels comined, sounds like your best option is to cut out a section from the back pannels once assembled

It was a bit confusing. Mine didn't have any actual directions either, just a piece of paper with pictures of how to do it. I had to look at the photo and go off that. First start off by making a squared "U", that will be the sides and back. Then add on the bottom and next two shelves, I believe it was a matter of sliding the little legs over the bar. Then the bars that actually separate the can rows should be added last, by sliding the curved end over the back side of one of the poles. I didn't need any tools. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Try removing one of the bars inserted into the side rails to make it shorter. That worked for us.

I imagine if you do the math right, there would be no reason why you couldn't shorten it. The only hardware is the corner pieces (right angles). Just remember that you also need to shorten the boards in the center that form the "u" shape.

The side pieces are not actually connected, so technically you can have them spaced out if necessary. The exact space (if the units are pushed together) is 55 inches; hope this helps!

The sides come in pieces to put together. The shelves are one piece,so the box looks small
