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

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

I had this fitted in a rental apartment and have not seen it as yet since I'm out of the US for an extended period. However, I can't imagine this unit not swiveling through at least 180 degrees if not a full 360 deg.

May 180 degrees flat, but not too long in bed with a small bed, can only be zero!

It would not stand on a shelf without support. You could lean it against something and it should be fine.

Yes, 180 degrees, top to bottom on one side. It locks into three different fixed positions at top, side or bottom.

Hello, it probably can stand freely without leaning against the wall, but you would probably want the extra support if you plan to put things on the shelves.

It is ABSLOLUTELY NOT designed for that. Shelf might be strong enough, but it would tip right over, in my opinion.

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.

No, it has "D" shaped hooks below the bottom shelf for hanging items, therefore would not sit flat.

It's very sturdy and able to hold a decent amount of weight. I'm almost 170 lbs and can sit on the top (when shelf is horizontal) with any feeling of wobble or give. You'd want to mount the shelf to a wall if you put anything heavy on top.

It is, but the shelves are designed to be smooth on top and if you turn it over you have those support bars that run front to back sticking up. That might not matter, depending on what you want to store on them.

It absolutely will not sway or lean. I have been using one of these as my main closet rack after my original wall-mounted rack collapsed under the weight of my clothing about a year ago! I also have a double rail style of the same rack in my storage space that has been loaded up for over five years. I'm about to purchase another one for storage because they are sturdy and reliable and I know they last.

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!

Yes! Arm that supports shelf rotates! Shelf is fixed to the arm and does NOT rotate relative to the arm.

I'd say - maybe. I think it would depend on how low you can place the lowest shelf. It's the shelves that give the whole thing it's stability.

It can be rotated 180degs...90degs each way from vertical. Hope that helps.

I have a 60 in plasma ( it's a beast!) and it pulls out straight about a foot. And tilts enough to mount it above the fireplace. With it tilted down at full extension, it can rotate sideways probably 25-30 degrees...plenty enough for metonymy have it on a wall perpendicular to the couch
