can you separate both tiers and just use the bottom tier?

In theory you could. The post that runs down the middle is in sections so you could unscrew it take the top glass off, the middle post section off and then screw the top piece back on. If you are looking for flat like for a cake --not sure how that would work and still be stable. It is truly beautiful-- much better than the pictures show.

There is a lever at the back that you move to one side and it separates the bottom part and the top part. I'm assuming that's what you are wanting to do.

Absolutely yes, very simple. I actually removed the top tier and only use the lower tier for now. When I need more hanging space, then I install the top tier back on. It takes only a minute to put that in. I also own a one-tier but find the two-tier rack a lot more convenient. In fact, getting the one-tier made me purchased the two-tier. Can't live without it now!!!!!!!!!!!

we just used the tower again for our baby shower and only used 3 tiers. so yes you can use as many tiers as you like but the bottom (biggest) must always be used

Yes. You can separate the two components. It's much easier that way. It's a great mount. Easy to install and then maneuver the tv. I have it mounted on the ceiling over my basement bar.

There are two layers per lift, I can choose to use just the one or add the other for more lift

I have not tried that. However, the tier does not seem as steady to stack one on top of the other. I hope I was able to help.Jasmin

Yes. However, I find it easier to use that feature on the top tier instead of the middle.

I'm not sure, but I would think you could use only 1 tier. I gave this as a gift so have not used it.

You can use it to make 2 or 4 tiers. You can even make 2 shorter separate stands.

You can not alternate them, bottoms always have to go down. There is strip/brace between each row to keep them in place.

You'd have to use a few of the tiers. I think if you were to use all of the shelves, it would be too much. Use only what you need.

I didn't keep the two tier because my stand was not for it. Sorry, I don't know?

Yes, you can use 1 layer only, or add multi-layers. I stack 4 layers together for larger parties.

No. The separator is vertical making the cage into front & back halves if you use it, not top & bottom.

This is a set of a,two tiered top, four tiered middle and a two tiered bottom. I use it a lot set up: the two tiered top attached to the two tiered bottom.

You can use less tiers for smaller events with no problem. I do it all the time. It still looks aesthetically pleasing to the eye and everything, just make sure that you either use 4 sizes that are sequential in size or use one skip one use one skip one so that it still looks balanced in the plate sizes between tiers. Hope this helps ;-)
