I don't want to mount it, but sit it up on a braced wall or table. Is it angled or will it sit up on its own?

I don't recommend 'siting it up' without a stand or support .....the weight of the mail would eventually make it unstable. I wonder if the USPS would object.

It definitely needs some kind of support. It is NOT designed to be free standing.

Ours is mounted. Although the back and bottom of the mailbox are flat, not sure if the lid would make it top heavy and therefore, unsteady and unable to sit up on it's own without falling forward or to the side.

It will sit up on it's own. FYI: if you are using it as a mailbox it has to be mounted. Our postman told us he would stop delivering our mail with the box on the ground.

It sits up at a 90-95 degree angle max. It does not need to be held. it will support the weight of the tablet.

You can 'flatten' the mounting bracket pivot so it will sit on your desk and be stable but you may have a hard time aiming it up far enough to frame your face. I would think you would want it to at face level or at least close. I'm sure with a little ingenuity you could easily find a place to mount it even if it sat on top of an upright book.

+1 Ben. It *can* sit stably rather than falling over, depending how it's loaded, but it will always be at an angle due to its shape.

The table can be used flat. I've been using it as a crafting table. It's very sturdy. Haven't had the need to tilt it yet.

It is angled near the top, however you can adjust it sitting in your lap. This is a great desk!!

Nope. It easily leans against the wall. I don't have it bolted and it's stable

It can stand alone without using the included wall brace bracket. However, if you want it to stand by itself I would highly recommend you have a lot of heavy books/objects in the lower shelves to stabilize it. Mine is reasonably stable (but against the wall) and doesn't tip easily, but if I had pets/children running around the house I would only recommend it against the wall since it's quite tall and has a relatively narrow base. Hope that helps

I have my 70" Sony LCD mounted on this mount. It is cast iron, with no ball joint. It does tilt up and down, but probably not enough to mount on an angled ceiling. (could always go through ceiling and make a flat mountable point in roof joists??)

I built a wood platform for it to sit on because of the way the front piece is mounted. I don't trust it to hang on the wall. It looks good though. Doesn't put out much heat.

Well the larger angled screws are for the pull out piece to anchor onto - so they go onto the opposite wall. The small headed screws need to be fastened into a wall with anchors or a stud or a wooden wall - you can't just screw them into plain plaster. There are these handy screw in anchors available at the hardware store that work great. It needs to be sturdy because it is under tension. Love my unit!

It can be mounted with the screws that come with it. Directly into the wall. Straight. No Angles.

Thank you. I am going to make a table to work it on that can tilt a little so I dont have to have it flat all the time, thanks for the info.

It can sit at any angle you like. The corner covers only lock in at 90 degrees but I find it totally stable without them...

I agree with the prior two answers. It has a flat bottom so could sit on the floor without the brackets. However, I think it would be very wobbly as it would be quite top heavy. I recommend that it is attached to the wall.

Nope - it's flat. The angles you see in the photo are simply to allow the plates to interlock. Be careful where you mount it as you'll have no control over the angle of view once mounted, so make sure you mount it level with your eye line. Very simply, useful mount, if your only need it so mount a monitor/TV in a static location.

It is angled. Not a very steep angle. I think the back sits maybe 3 or 4 inches higher than the front.
