Is it possible to fabricate a shelf that would mount on top of the whisperlift unit?

Yes, you can mount the shelf to the top of the lift. The lift roller is removable and you can mount the shelf to the extension bracket. Please keep in mind that the weight of the TV, shelf, and components would need to be less than 100lbs combined.

Yes, though the default design is to hinge a cabinet top to open as the lift forces it up. It looks like the roller assembly on top could be removed, though I have not experimented and cannot be sure. This would leave a "flat" surface on top. Some sort of bracket would need to be fabricated. You would best contact them at their website.

Yes. We have our tv dropping down from a fireplace mantle and what would normally be the bottom of the mantle goes up and down with the TV. Stands to reason the same would be possible upside down from that.

could assemble this w/out using the shelves above/to the right of the monitor? thus increasing the overall size/area on the top.

Possibly, but the side panels (behind the shelves) are thinner and not secured to the unit by fasteners/screws. As B. Fey said, it is a very sturdy unit! I absolutely love mine!

No. But the shelves can slide in the supports about an inch in either direction. So if the supports are installed level with each other it would be a long continuous shelf. You could use cable ties to keep the shelves in contact with one another once installed.

The shelf is not already attached, but the legs of the table angle ever-so-slightly outwards. You would probably have to notch the corners of the shelf very slightly to fit the legs as you move it up, but other than that, it can be done.

The top mounting shelf is stationary. A slight tilt would be possible with the small pads provided to protect the speakers from scratching, vibrating off, etc.

Yes the shelf can be mounted at ether end of the cabinet. This will allow you to mount it the way you want.

Top shelf has two mounting choices approx 2 inches higher or lower. These are pre drilled holes in the vertical support. If you are handy and have a drill and bits capable of drilling through metal you might be able to put that top shelf any height you want.

Yes, but the shelf will not fit completely down over the retaining clip afterwards.

I don't believe it can. The angeled riser is attached the the speaker cabinet with screws. They can be removed if you want to use the speakers as book shelf units. I guess you could try EBay to see if someone has removed them.

If you want this style of shelf with the "lip" up (forming a ledge to keep items on the shelf) you can purchase Metro brand wire shelving "drop mat" style. Unfortunately it's substantially more expensive but works well and actually uses the space between shelves more efficiently.

maybe...it looks like the shelf could be left off...you would have screw holes in the vertical side pieces that you would want to plug somehow. it doesn't seem that the shelf is structural, just my best guess.

Please refer to the answer by 'Flying Walrus', this unit's shelf holes ARE tapered which means no,you cannot properly mount shelf 'lip-down'.

I believe so - but I stress this is my best guess and there may be a complication I am not seeing. Looking at my install, which is very near the corner, it appears the shelf would need to be wired to the bracket, but there is enough over hang to do so. The shelf would of course be sitting off center on the two brackets to accomplish this.

The shelves come out easily so you should be able to do this as long as the bar has some sort of surface mounting hardware

I think there may be 4 screws to attach the vertical bracket. You can add more by drilling an extra hole. The toggle bolt style fasteners should work well in the sheet rock. This shelf is not designed to hold any thing very heavy.

Yes you can, it work much better and no screw holes. We tried it on one shelf and it works fine.
