So I finally got a place to store my AV equipment
It's perfect in every way, and it cost me only 15$
It's made out of sturdy metal with hardened glass shelves
It was originally taller but I cut out the top shelf and made a wall shelf out of it
But there is one VERY frustrating issue with it...
It is too narrow between the side pillars...
To fit any of my vcrs/sfx generators...
By one tenth...
OF A FUCKING CENTIMETER
So if any of you have any idea of what could I do except of throwing it furiously out of my window I'd REEEEALLY appreciate it

And no, it doesn't flex

I thought of taking one of the steel beans out somehow (idk how) and screwing it back in through some distancing plate

But do you have any other ideas? Or know how to do it?

You mean a washer? Yeah that would work, but it looks like the legs are welded to the shelf, so they'd have to be cut off before being re-joined with a screw. Kinda sucks...

How many shelves are the legs attached to? How many vcrs/sfx generators do you have? Could you just put them on the top shelf where the legs won't inhibit the width of the shelf?

the legs are welded to the shelves, i could just try to rip them off or use a blade bit on my oscillating tool to pry/cut them away

I have two generators and two vcrs, can't put them on the top because it would be too tall and the vcrs have hard time operating under such weight

You've got structure on the the shelf side.
You could pry/ cut them off, on the wood shelf side, and then drill holes in your metal shelves and bolt them to either that wood shelf or something that is itself braced against the wood shelf, if the wood shelf is flimsy, with a few spacers to push it out a bit
