I would think that would be for a combined weight, even though each layer stand on their own support.
I don't know if I want to put more than a couple of hundred pounds on each layer, though.

While this may be unclear in the specs, I doubt very much that each shelf can support 350lb. This weight given is likely for a well distributed load over the whole 5 shelves! Even then I would put very heavy items on the lowest shelf.

Are shelves adjustable? Can Lower shelf be removed so that unit fits over small dorm refrigerator?

answer 1
You could do that but I am not sure how sturdy the shelf would be without the bottom shelf supporting the rest. Other products may better suit your needs especially those made of wood. You might be able to put the small dorm refrigerator on the bottom shelf or even the upper shelves and store food below. This product is very sturdy. You don't have to use all the shelves. I have a large TV on mine. No problems.

Shelves can be adjusted in 1 inch increments. Yes, you could put the lowest shelf 3ft off the ground if you wanted to fit a fridge underneath. I would be worried about stability doing that. I would recommend putting the bottom shelf on the ground to hold the legs correctly, put the fridge on that shelf, then put the second shelf over the fridge. You could use a board to compensate the part of the fridge that wouldnt sit on the shelf. There are no requirements for shelf placement for top, bottom, or middle. You can use as many or as few shelves as you want.

The shelves are fully adjustable, and while they could be built over a dorm refrigerator I, personally, would worry a bit about stability at that point.

Yes all the shelves can be moved. I have all of the shelves closer that the picture from the store so that it fits my dog's food underneath. i think this would be perfect for a dorm because it has good height and in a dorm you need to expand vertically because is it short on room. it would hold a mini fridge your microwave, books, and a stereo no problem with room to spare! Buy it!

The poles are one piece. They are about 70 inches in height. You can adjust the shelves where you want them. You don't have to use all the shelves if you want more space for each shelf.

The verticle poles come in 2 sections. You could create a 2 shelf section and and 3 shelf section technically. The shelves can be adjusted up and down in increments of 1 inch. The shelves are not stacking or fixed height. The shelves have round openings in each corner that slide up and down. You use platic wedges that clip onto the verticle pole to hold the shelves at the height you want.

It is basically one full length unit but could be assembled as two half tall units if you didn't need leveling on one unit. The shelves are adjustible in 1" increments but once set into place are hard to reset. Two pound mallet useful.

The corners of shelves slide easily over the four poles. The easy, sturdy holding clamps aound pole under the shelf hold the shelves in place. You can place as many or as few of the shelves you want on the poles. Everything is adjustable to your needs. You don't even have to set it up to full height. YOu can make the whole unit shorter if you wish.

It does need to be assembled to full height but the shelves themselves can be moved up and down which gives you shelving that is perfect for your needs. if you are worried about the height i know the 4 tier shelf by the same company is shorter but the same overall product. I'm happy with the purchase. :)

No. The most I have been able to have these shelves slant (on accident) was about an inch. There is not enough play with how the shelves mount to do this (which is a good thing for everyone that wants level shelving).

No, they cannot be slanted forward. The four corners of each shelf have a metal collar that slides over the metal corner upright post. A plastic wedge sleeve sits inside the collar and around the metal post. Thus all four collars must be on the same level. Great shelves though. Maybe you could put something under the box of fruit to prop up the back.

Hello,

No, this specific item is not currently available in a white finish. However, there is a smaller Whitmor shelving unit available that is white and available on Walmart.com. Just search for Whitmor item number "6071-3436" without the quotation marks and you can review the dimensions and capacities to see if it fits your needs.

The height is 72 inches, the width is 36 inches, and the depth is 14 inches.

These are the measurement I took with a tape measure after I received the product and they differ slightly from the manufacturers specifications.

Also, The measurements are for the extreme outside limits of the unit which includes the shelf mounts.

This product exceeded my expectations and I am going to purchase another one.

The size of the shelves as shipped are:

72 1/4" tall bars x 4 + Adjustable feet which are 1 5/8" long themselves but 1" of that is threaded screw for the adjustment.

35 3/4" Long
14" Wide

If you add the 4" wheels that I bought you need to add 4" to width and Length when planing space and the height goes up to 75 1/2" when assembled.

Hope this all helps.
