Could this unit be mounted upside down, to use in a wall cabinet as a pull-down shelf?

Interesting idea. Because it is an installation that should likely involve a talented and experienced do-it-yourselfer or carpenter/handyman, I would get in touch with a friend or good handyman to assess the challenges. Unless the opening is accessed by a door, the hardware might be less attractive than you want. It is an interesting approach.

Could, but the arm extensions and bottom braces could get in the way if the self was narrow...but then for a wide shelf, prob 1.5 ft or more, good idea that I had not considered

No, the shelves cannot be moved up or down. You would have to be handy with a drill and make your own if you really wanted a higher/lower shelf.

I guess. The contractor installed for us. But I see no reason why it can't be upside down. Our bulbs are facing the floor actually.

In a sense, yes. All you have to do is rotate the unit 180-degrees. Since it is symmetrical, that effectively moves the door opening to the other side. Obviously, you do this as part of the initial installation prior to installing the shelves.

I secured mine to a cabinet on one side and to the back wall. The other side butts up against the refrigerator, so yes you can.

I think that should work. I bought one and installed it with the junction box on the bottom right but there was nothing in the installation process that would make me think it couldn't be done upside down.

Yes it can be mounted upside down. I had an electrician install my light he asked which orientation I wanted it to be mounted. It had't occurred to me that it could be facing down.

the holes the poles slide through typically are wider on the bottom, that fit over tapered wedges on the poles. I have installed shelves upside down, but it is not as secure.you can always cut a board to fit in the bottom of the shelf, effectivly reducing the flange of the shelf wall

Yes. It is just a matter of rotating the cabinet 180 degrees, turning it upside down.

even though the q is 4 years old i'm sure others will have the same question; you CAN in-fact put the shelf in upside down but only with a very minor modification. you need to install as if upside-down, pound the shelf on tight as can be, and drill a hole into each corner to 'pin' the shelf up; i would drill and tap a 6mm or 1/4-20 so i don't have to drill through but an 8-32 screw all the way through would work just as well.

The clamp that holds the units on the bar is far more secure than the ball joints that hold the screens in place.I think it would probably be ok upside down. I tried to tug it out of place and it didn't budge.

The bracket design does not allow the product to be mounted inverted. Only uprightbor maybe horizontal.

I don't see any reason it couldn't be installed upside down. Clamp would then stick up above top of hutch tho.

Seems like the plastic bracket would hold if mounted to upside down. The unit is fairly light but the bracket is plastic and once set in bracket it has one tilt slot not much tilt at at all maybe 1or2 inches at most.

I have mine mounted upright. I can't see that it would be a problem to mount it under a cabinet, though. I truly love mine.

It is ABSLOLUTELY NOT designed for that. Shelf might be strong enough, but it would tip right over, in my opinion.

It would have to be mounted on a vertical wall, (unless a wedge block were inserted under the base to compensate for the wall angle). There is no adjustment to rotate the TV up; only approximately 8 degrees down. On second thought, though it wasn't intended to be installed upside down, I guess it could be. Then the aforementioned 8 degree adjustment could be used to help return the TV to a vertical position.
