How are you supposed to sit in front of the desk when it has bottom shelf? Where would your feet go? Can you assemble the desk without the bottm shelf

You actually end up sitting further back because the keyboard tray slides out. I lean my feet on the shelf when I'm just cruising with my mouse.

Yes you sure can. I'm 6'2 and have been using the desk without the bottom shelf for about 6 months now with no issues.

I put the shelf on and just sit in front of it. It's reasonably sturdy though, so maybe it will be okay without the bottom. I just put my feet on the bottom shelf. :)

There have not been any issues/problems at all. If you use a desk top computer with the pull out shelf for the keyboard you will definitely not have any problems! My son has a similar desk that he has a lap top on, and he has no problems and he is 6'4". The bottom shelf comes in handy (such as printer or storage), so you would want to keep it assembled. Also provides stability as well! Hope this helps!

Is there any way to side mount these shelves? I have an old computer desk where the bottom portion has no back so I need to anchor any shelf to the side.

You could... but the desk provides more stability to the unit...it is meant to be there....you can find another similar unit without the desk.

No. The desk doesn't stand on its own. It is supported by being held between your legs.

You can omit the shelf but there is a piece of pipe along the front and back that must stay for structural support. A very nice desk

yes, you can remove that one in the middle. As long you dont remove the bottom one too, U will be save concerning the stabilty. I would not recommend both (bottom part and middle shelf) since then the whole desk may be loose its static.

Suggest that you do not. It is not a desk, it's a very small corner table. Please look at the dimensions on the page.

Well that is an awfully short table! I actually move my keyboard to the lower shelf that sits on the desk and the mouse to the side when I need to sit. Otherwise I put it on the top platform as pictured when standing.

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

You could assemble the unit without the center shelf. There may be some small holes visible on the back. You could plug them if necessary. It is a well built and solid unit.

I don't see any reason why you'd have to put the hutch on, but I think there are probably far better choices in desks without hutches. Instead of paying for a hutch you won't use, go with a desk-only unit that is higher quality. Come to think of it, if you decide to use this one without the hutch, there may be a few holes on top of the desk that you'll have to fill in or cover over, as those holes are there for the connectors used to keep the desk and hutch together.

Hi there ... no, I agree with what the others have said; it's meant to be assembled only this one way. I would also mention that the drawers are not very easy to reach (especially the bottom one), so just put things in there that you don't have to access very often. :) All in all, though, I like the desk, and think it's a good value for the money.

There are pre-drilled holes for the raised platform. You could use the desk without it, but you would have holes in the desk unless you found something to cover them up.

If you really wanted this desk you could just drill holes for the base board to go on the opposite side of the bottom of the desk. And turn the desk the other way. I hope what I'm trying to say isn't confusing.

The section with the drawers (pedestal) can be used by itself. But the main desk top "corner" section needs the pedestal or something attached to it for it to stand up.

Thank you, but what about just the desk portion (floor to desk)? I appreciate the help. :)

Yes and I even had to take out the shelf where the tower goes because my tower wouldn't fit. You might want to measure that before...its not fun taking the desk apart to remove that lol.
