Is it possible to install the lower shelf higher than pictured? Say about 10 inch beneath the desk top.

You could do it easily, but you would need to drill some holes. I painted mine and am using it outside as a potting bench. It's very sturdy.

You could LAY the middle shelf on top of the lower shelf, but there is not going to be a sidebar for it to hook onto. (the side bars are pre-attached, and can not be moved.)

It seems the space between the top two shelves will not be sufficient to house my 27" iMac. I suppose I could raise it by inserting a block of wood under the computer to bring the bottom of the monitor up to the level of the other two monitors I would like to eventually buy. I'm into flight simulation. If anyone knows of a desk better suited to that hobby, please let me know....thanks.

No, I'm afraid not. The unit is much lower than it appears (check the measurements given). Even if it were taller, the supports on both sides of the center shelf are half pieces which require the bottom shelves for installation. I'm only 5'2" and I just slid my chair over in front of mine (I use it in my office for storage right next to my computer) and it would be way too low, even for me. I love the unit, but it won't work as a desk. This company does make desks though, so maybe you could check those out! Good luck and have a great day! Susan

The instructions indicate that the lower shelf should be positioned as shown in the picture, and this makes the product more stable. You could probably position the shelf a little bit higher, but not much.

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.

It is possible to have the cabinet on the other side but the desk will only screw into place if it's arranged like the picture. The other way, the top would just sit on top but not be screwed in.

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

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".

I think you can, but you may want to consider another option. I am 5'11 and sometimes it gets low. I love the solution for me because I was able to use my existing desk. Hope this 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.

As per Michael's response, it's meant to be as shown. I think you could do a couple of things. If you choose not to add the top tier of shelf (with uprights) you'd need to find 3 chrome circles to cover the open attachment (stick-ons?). If you just wanted to leave off the bottom (with the taller uprights) and have a very short table you could do that. Not sure what heights you need.

yes you can. this will put the bottom shelf a few inches closer to the floor but still above it. i agree about putting caps on to protect floor.

i personally think you can and if you're handy you can modify it by placing a large board on top of the bottom shelf.that should do the trick

If it is a laptop yes, if it is a PC tower case, I would not recommend trying. The lower shelf is a thin panel that sits on the lip of the pieces that frame the panel.

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.

Sure, just don't screw that shelf section into that tower. I'm sure it would work but pay attention to those damn stickers on each piece. It is NOT easy to assemble as the box says! A lot of cussing came out of my normally mute man hubster when he was putting those together - especially when he realized he put the shelves together backwards. The man is an engineer too. Oy vey!
