If I would put this on the counter top instead of in a cupboard, would I still be able to open it without pulling it to the front of the counter?

Yes however you would not be able to get Kcups in the back portion of the bottom tray and possibly the one above it. Without the ability to pull the drawers out and lower them you can't get Kcups in the back of the drawers.

Yes. You can slide the drawers open but the bottom one won't then pivot down, the other drawers will only pivot down to the point they hit the counter top.

Not the back two pods in the bottom drawer but you can range them out if the rest of the drawer is empty. Otherwise, yes!

No, it opens straight up and back (that's where the hinge is). Only concern is that it is quite tall if you plan to place it under a counter.

The top piece opens and closes and the shelf can be put on either end of the cage. You would not have to put the top on if you did not want to for some reason. There is also a sliding door on the side of the cage.

Yes, though the default design is to hinge a cabinet top to open as the lift forces it up. It looks like the roller assembly on top could be removed, though I have not experimented and cannot be sure. This would leave a "flat" surface on top. Some sort of bracket would need to be fabricated. You would best contact them at their website.

It depends...do you want to just keep the top from coming open unexpectedly or completely lock it? You could probably install a clasp to make it difficult for small people (kids?) from opening it. I don't see how you attach something to completely lock it though.

I guess not ...although, it would be a bit tippy if you don't do something about that. velcro it so the counter!

There are screw holes if you want to secure it in place. I the black base up against the back of my cupboard and while mine is not attached....it has worked just fine in my cupboard to hold my cookie sheets, and baking pans. Not sure how it would work on a countertop since I'm not using it in that way.

Yes, as long as you have room around it (I believe it's about 2-4" on top sides and back) for the air to circulate. I probably would not recommend putting it in a cupboard where a door would close.

Yes, because it doesn't really screw on tight, so it has been easy for me to unscrew the top. It may be a little small for you if you have big hands, but I think it is worth a try.

The two magnets are pretty strong and would work fine vertically attached to the frig. Countertop, maybe not...

Nothing would be interfered with on top, if this were mounted under a cabinet, and the front door and cleaning tray both open to the front, so no problem there.

MAYBE. Depends on weight of lid and mounting orientation. If memory serves (I have them on some cabinets, and take them for granted), you cannot slam shut from full open (aka no finger crush) but if you open it only a little bit and then let go it can be closed quickly, though there us little force. They are a bit strong for the weight of the cabinet doors, so they can finish opening rather "sttongly". Thinking about a toy chest, I would be more concerned with purchasing too strong a piston for the weight of the lid and it thwapping someone in the nose/face/etc when opening.

No, but the back of the cabinet is finished, so if you didn't need frequent access to the door, you could turn it around. The door would be in back, but the rack would be on the opposite side if needed.

There is a carved indentation on the top, centered behind the center top edge of the door. It's quite easy to open. You place one or more fingers at the top edge of the door and simply pull outwards. The door lays flat on your counter top or table when fully opened and is angled so that when closed the weight of the door keeps the box closed even without the magnetic latch mechanism.

No, the top part can not be removed -- just the thin lid can. However, mine fits under the counter with plenty of room to spare. On the other hand, it doesn't fit inside any of my cabinets.

I just keep mine in my bedroom, I don't think it would fit under the shelves in my closet. Having it in the open, I can use the top as an extra shelf which is convenient.

We have a larger countertop so it stays out all of the time. It is heavy and you would need a tall kitchen cabinet if you were to leave it assembled.
