Can the handle be removed easily so I can store the unit at the bottom of a closet? I live in a NYC studio apt; no space is an understatement

Yes. There is an adjustment knob on the front that both holds the handlebar in place, and can be used to raise or lower it. Unscrewing the knob completely until it came out, would allow you to remove the handlebar completely (basically the opposite of the assembly process). You will just want to make sure you are tightening the knob completely each time you use it, so it doesn't wobble during use. If I remember correctly, the tube coming up from the base which the handlebar slides into is just about knee-high or so without the handlebar attached. Hope this helps!

The shelf can be taken out, yes. I've taken it out for my tower and used it as a shelf for my subwoofer. The cubby is tall enough, but not deep enough, and part of your tower will hang out, as does mine. I have a board underneath to protect the bottom, though.

The handle and wheels cannot be removed. It probably would fit in the overhead compartment as it is. The handle telescopes into itself and doesn't stick above the cooler when down. The wheels stick out about 2 inches from the bottom.

You could remove the tray, but a big hole under it. Possible to put a piece of wood or something over the entire thing to keep it leveled and use the full amount of space.

No, it can be easily moved. It comes apart in panels. I just moved and brought it with me.

There are grooves that the shelf sit in so it cannot be moved. I am not sure if it would diminish the stability if you left the shelf out.

VERY. And I have limited storage space and 3 sets of stairs I can put the handle down so easily to make it more compact to store and carry.

Yes the basket can be easily removed. The bracket is not an easy target. I put a couple of zip ties to make it a little less attractive to someone that might try on the spur of the moment.

Yes, it can be removed. It is "handle" to pick up the basket. It can easily be removed by unscrewing it. I removed the handle and have left it out. I never use the handle. Hope this answers yoiur question.

If you take it off it will make the unit too wobbly. It kind of holds it all secure. We did cut holes in it though to make room for the TV wall mount and for cables to get through better. The holes they provide were too small.

It folds down into a manageable size that will fit into a larger closet. The clips take a little wiggling to get off the frame, but it isn't impossible (or even finger-wrenching) to do. We've already taken it apart to store it while painting the master bedroom and had no trouble with disassembling the unit or finding a good space to keep it in.

No, the handle can not be removed, however, it folds over to the same size as the pan portion. When you store it is only the size of the small pan. I love this for a quick snack.

Yes it can be removed... The company also sells attachments to hold tools as well. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can be removed. This is a great stand. We bought it to support a 42-inch flat screen television and are using it in a trade show. The stand is quite heavy, as it should be. We need to use the shelf but, as I said, it is removable.

Yes it can be removed, sort of like the veggie bin in your fridge. Had to take it out in order to secure it to the base cabinet.
