"how much does the shelf tilt" --'180 degrees'Does that mean it can lay almost flat, to perfectly upright?

It can tilt backwards far enough that it's almost upside-down. It can tilt forwards perhaps 10 degrees. In other words - the top edge of the tray can tilt from 11 o'clock to almost 6 o'clock.

not so sure on this one. I bought a Hamilton which is a very good one and tilts flat. (made very well)

Yes, it can tilt to complete horizontal. There is a twist knob that is used to loosen the shelf for rotation.

Yes, from upright position it can flip 180 degrees. You are looking for 90 degrees change in position. That is not a problem.

Nope. It does not have to lean against a wall. I've found out that if you plan on over-loading the shelf, it helps!

Yes it can lay flat or it can be adjusted to several settings. Mine is tilted about 10-12 degrees up from flat. If you're looking for "flat" you may want to consider another table as the main reason I bought this is for the elevation from flat. The drawers are flimsy but they work for my purposes. I'm happy with the overall quality of the table for the price.

The (one) shelf & the slant of the top are fixed. If it helps you decide, I can add that I find the position of both to be very comfortable.

I've got every shelf (except for the top, most shallow one) filled with a mix of books. It's held up fine, with very little wobble/no tipping at all. This is without the wall attachment, meaning I've just got it just leaning at an angle against my wall.

The top shelf tends to bend with the weight of 3 pairs of shoes and might make the side boards bend inwards without the middle shelf making the sides straight. I ended up buying 2 units and removed the top shelf of one and put the other complete one on top of that. Either way, I don't put too much because of the shelf bending from the weight. Hope this helps.

Absolutely NOT--I know because that's exactly what I wanted to do, in fact it's what I assumed I was supposed to do. But when I did, it was wobbly and unstable. It simply crashed over. I wondered what was wrog with the darn thing until my friend said the shelves were upside don. I thought,"of course they aren't, why would the lip hang down, I mean what earthly use would it be if it did?" But once I flipped the shelves, it was as stable as can be. I really do like this shelving a lot, in spite of my disagreement with the downward-facing lip.

You can't not adjust the slant and the height of the shelf. However I find the slant is perfect for a laptop and there is a lip so nothing slides off and the distance is very generous between the bottom of the slant and shelf. We have two bibles and a laptop on the shelf.

The shelf will rotate 360 degrees as long as you only install the center allen screw that connects the glass shelf to the arm. There are 3 inline screws that connect the arm to the glass shelf from the bottom. I only installed the center one of the 3 so that it gives the ability to rotate the shelf around.

I tipped mine vertically to try it and it stayed upright, but it teeters because of the way the shelves stick out from the frame on the ends. It has a little shelf on the top which is also good for storage and if you tip it vertically you loose that storage space. I would not recommend it be used vertically. Hope this helps.

The instructions indicate that the lower shelf should be positioned as shown in the picture, and this makes the product more stable. You could probably position the shelf a little bit higher, but not much.

Mine is mounted and hits the other wall past 90 degrees, but I think it will open close to 180 degrees. It can be mounted to open either direction simply by turning it over. The shelf is located at center of cabinet and is the same which ever way it is mounted.

Well, I certainly didn't put that much weight on it, but I'm fairly certain that you would be fine. I would assume that the 150 lbs. would be spread out across the shelf and not just 150 lbs. directly in the middle. Note: The sides are going to be stronger because of the side supports.

From Amazon & personal experience: "Although this model is capable of 180º rotation, it has only a 9.5" extension so the degree of rotation in most cases will be less than 180º due to the size of your television."I needed, with the TV flat against the wall, the 9.5 inches offset from the mounting stud because my mounting stud was not centered for the TV. I could not use a double arm type because when flat against the wall it is centered on the mounting stud; no offset. The single swing arm still allows swivel to other parts of the room with a 40 inch TV. I believe the OLLO system is the easiest, nicest, high quality system out there - especially for swivel arm mounts.

Danny, the lower shelf is not very well supported in the middle. If you add a few small wooden blocks under the shelf, it will support your 220 lb gear. I did the same. The blocks are not easily visible unless you put your nose to floor and peek. I wouldn't advice putting it on the middle shelf or on the top. Cheers!

i wanted to use it for the same thing and when it arrived the shelves were tilted slightly. I didn't know if this was intended or a defect. I returned.

Just a guess, but I don't think the weight placed on the bottom shelf should matter at all. The heavier weight might make the unit turn slower, but I can't see it causing any harm. Best wishes!
