Is the fence around the perimeter of the shelves really on the top side? I have assembled many similar, and fence was always on the underside.

The tube on each corner is slightly conical, so that the clip-on plastic holders get trapped inside the tube. That's what keeps the shelf from sliding down. So the shelf can only be installed with the fence facing up. All rack systems that use this kind of design can only be installed with the narrow side of the conical tube facing up.

Yes, the only thing you have to do is decide where you want the shelves :) we love this curio and were very happy with the delivery of it!

Mine isn't wall anchored and it's pretty stable. I've two spacers at the top of the shelves to off set the small amount of space that is caused by the shelves being against the floor board on the bottom but that's all and it is very stable to me. If you feel it's not stable enough free standing then I'd use an anchor at the top. Another thing to consider is if you plan to lay anything on top of the shelves such as a thin book or DVD case, be aware that if your not careful, it might slip down the back and you might have to dig it out. This happened to me and I had to get a pair of grabbers to get it out. To keep this from happening again, I placed a shelf mat on top of the shelves. Hope this helps.

Not likely, but I wouldn't put anything on the top. More likely the shelves will bend under weight. I would put shims under the front bottom if it leans forward from the wall.

I shelf might be affixed, I can't remember. It looks just like the picture when complete.

The top shelf has a bullnose edge facing down. The middle shelf slides into a rim track. The bottom shelf is not completely flat. The perimeter sits just slightly above the interior surface.

the holes the poles slide through typically are wider on the bottom, that fit over tapered wedges on the poles. I have installed shelves upside down, but it is not as secure. you can always cut a board to fit in the bottom of the shelf, effectivly reducing the flange of the shelf wall

Unfortunately not, all of the shelves have to be in just as shown in the picture....awesome piece of furniture though! It's been in my basement for almost a year now and I get nothing but compliments.

The shelves are supposed to go in one direction. However you can physically place them either way.

No. Sorry. The shelves are stationary. They are welded in place, which makes the unit sturdy, but not flexible.

probably hacksaw off at the bottom. should work. i have made these shelves taller by putting 7/8 inch dowels in the top of the uprights. judy

Not quite. The angle between the back edges is greater than 90 degrees so the middle parts of the bottom shelves hit the walls leaving the front corners sticking out from the wall several inches.

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.

All parts are particle board. With the short length and front edge piece, the shelves won't sag. They're heavy, but once in place, what does that matter?

Not sure I understand the question. The picture is a pretty accurate representation. The shelves do not overhang the vertical supports.

I'm not sure what's wrong there. Mine is slightly larger but once I fit the sides to the far edge the shelves fit in nicely. Try taking it apart and reassembling otherwise I'm not sure what's wrong. Sorry you are having problems.

There are two shelves. One each top and bottom. The shelves are NOT adjustable.
