Of course.  Here's one of ours

We've since switched it around because we made it a double.  There's now a big shelf on the left under the hole to the next level and then the small shelves going around in decreasing height until the last one on the right sits in front of the wheel hanging on the door.

We're working on wood shelves and wheels for the rest.  Water bottles fit easier on the FN than the CN.  You have to bend the bars to shove the nozzle through a CN.  Wheels hang easier on an FN.  The lightest cheapest wheel is the silver surfer and it cannot be put on a CN without cutting something either on the wheel or the bars.  Other heavier wheels have broken CN bars for many people.  They have to put a brace on the back or even going down from the top to spread out the weight.  Flying saucers you can also put a board or brick under to keep them from bending down as much when chins use them.
