Do you think it would be possible to install the top backwards, so that the leaf folds up/down on the cabinet side? We'd like to put it against a wall

We thought about trying to do that, but you would be kicking the doors/make it harder to access the doors. You would not only have to re-drill holes, but also the kick stands to keep the leaf up are on the non-cabinet side and I'm pretty sure if you did that, you would be unable to use at the very least the drawers, possibly the cabinets. It is a great piece and totally worth making the room for it, we love it, it transformed our kitchen!

That should work. You may have to redrill some holes. We have had it for a while and I don't recall if the mounting holes on the bottom of the top are the same on each side. It's a nice unit. We are very happy with it. Good luck.

It is possible it can be done to flip the top the other way on the base- but it is constructed to be a island for use on all sides. I would keep shopping for a piece more fitted for against a wall to save some frustration in putting a piece together myself!

A pro, maybe. But where would you put the two supports that hold it up from the bottom? I'd forget about that idea. Obviously you could set it up without the leaf too.

I suppose you could but I think it's meant to be against a wall. If it were sitting in the middle of a kitchen and you were trying to be able to access it from both sides I think it would be a little awkward to reach through from what is supposed to be the "back". I guess it could work in the right kitchen though. We use it against a wall to hold our major appliances and our recycling bins at the bottom. We have the cutting board flipped with the grove facing down so that we can place our microwave on the flat side of the board. Hope this helps.

it is possible to do it but it may be a hassle - you have to unscrew things, readjust it and rescrew it. it's not simple - we did a workaround to this exact situation by putting another, lower desk with a chair to the side of this. there are definitely units you can buy with a crank in the front to easily raise/lower them but they are much more expensive

Yes. We did that but backed one side up to the couch. It didn't seem as stable as a rectangle.

I think that is possible. I assembled it the way it is in the picture but after looking at mine I think it's definitely doable the way you want it.

No. Not what it is designed to accomplish. Drilling into the sides, or placing a clamp around it for holding the wood might work, but again, not within the design parameters.

The drop leaf is on the back, as noted below. The towel bar and spice rack can change sides if that's what you want.

I suppose you could if you wanted too. Just would have to buy the right hardware. If you hinged it to the wall then you could still fold it up flat if needed. :)

It comes folded, so you would just do the reverse of how you put it up. However, it is not something I would put up and down everyday. We use it in the house during the winter and put it away for the summer.

I think that is right on the line of plausible. I wouldn't chance it. The back is open, so the space you have to put screws is very small. They would have to be close to the edge, which means if it is going to tear, the thing will fall. You could get a very small floating shelf and set it on top of that.

I think you could . But you might want to put a flat piece of wood on the back side to stablize it

You could do it, but it is designed to be pieced together just as intended. I found the stickiness of this very poor. I put it above my daughter's bed and it started falling off almost right away. It was like fall with leaves coming off every day and then the branches started falling off as well.

No... you would not be able to reverse the set up. Because of the angle of the roof, the panels that make the walls are are angled. If you are handy with tools, you could modify the structure but the time and effort would be about the same as building a coop from scratch (I wish I had gone that route). The coop looks very nice but it is not very well made and is small.

yes I would think so. The hole for the knob is drilled in the middle and the shelves are adjustable. There is nothing about it that would make it look "upside down" if you did that.

maybe...i dont know anything about the wall cabinet. the floor cabinet is not that strong. i probably wouldnt do it.

I would suggest putting it to the side if you are using a granite or other stone like material. You might be able to with formica but it will be very close to the wall.

There are little metal brackets on that side, so i suppose to could fashion a way to attach it to the wall. wouldn't recommend it - get some cheap floating shelves from IKEA and add covering will accomplish the same thing and be alot more sturdy.
