I read all the reviews and even read the Wayfair Q&A on this product that specifically asked if there were shelves under the baskets and if it could be used without baskets, and the Wayfair answer was YES. My answer is absolutely no, I searched dozens of items like this looking for solid shelves and thought I finally found one and ordered based on the Wayfair info provided. I am happy with the unit, but completely disappointed that I was given misinformation by this company as I was planning on taking 2 of the baskets out and using it as a shelf. Wayfair please respond to this and correct your Q&A on this product.
