Since this has a wooden base on it, you do not have to have the platter, correct? It is safe to sit as-is on a tabletop?

Yes It is fine on the table. I put it in a shallow planter with rocks around it just because I loved the look! We love it!

hi, this thing is really cute and tiny. i have a wooden table out back by the pool area where i used it so did have it on a plate to catch anything that popped out but it is stable enough to sit on its own. good luck.

Have to be? It requires a seat/lid, yes. However, you can get a different seat/lid, or I guess you can sit on this if you don't require a lid.

Yes! You totally could. I just checked for you. You can't see in the display picture but the bottom of it has slats and the way they are made allowed the plate to rest beautifully. It's actually bigger than a regular size plate. You could totally fit a big platter and when I tried it the plate wasn't moving around either...it seems quite secure

Wooden Table or any other table would be fine.. Best to have it elevated for ease of use.

No. But you can sit it on top resting against the wall (either sideways or longways)

yes, you need to place a tray on the table or glasses can fall over. The bamboo is very uneven.

No, absolutely not. It would not be safely hooked onto your table without the tray in place.

I put the shelf on and just sit in front of it. It's reasonably sturdy though, so maybe it will be okay without the bottom. I just put my feet on the bottom shelf. :)

I have never sat on it (nor would I) however I have bumped into it many times and it is EXTREMELY secure. Never moved. I LOVE this table!

You can definitely sit on it as well, the back panel can be down or up. It is a really nice piece and all you have to do is put the legs on it.

No. You don't have to, but you can if you want. I'm pretty sure it's meant to sit w/o straddling the cane.

It will be unstable if sitting by itself. The base is kind of small compared to the rim and could easily tip over. We use it with the wall holder and it looks fabulous.

Yes it is. We are very pleased with our table. It is of good quality and very stable. It sits four to six people.

It would not be stable to sit on. Not safe at all. Its a table. Not a bench.

Not really. It's a great coffee table and the cubes are comfortable to sit on, but it's very awkward to try and eat a meal at (with the exception of our young kids). It is a great piece though and I love it!

This tabletop is very sturdy. It does scratch when actually using it as a cutting board, but I just refrain from doing that.

No you don't have to put the shelf on. You may be able to order it without the shelf.
