Ikea Besta shelf sizes

Anyone with a Besta... what height are each of the internal sections? Can the shelves be freely adjusted?

Also, what width are each section? Looking to fit a Kef R200C in the middle shelf but as it's 170mm tall x 530mm wide, I can't find any stands to fit it!

32cm height and 56cm width. The shelves can be placed at any height point, or you can just not buy the shelves at all of course.

Thanks! So even less left once you take into account the shelf? I'm not fitting my centre speaker and amp in one section then, as I think they're 17cm and 18.5cm respectively.

With it being only 38cm deep, I assume you can cut a section out of the back to fit a deeper amp in?

Is the Uppleva tv cantilever mount available in the UK at all?

You could just not put the back panel on on one side (or at all), or it would be easy enough to cut out a section if needed as the back panel is only plywood.

Each shelf is approx 16mm in height, so you'd need to account for that in each bay you have shelves.
