Can this item be used on it's side under a low window? Is it finished on the bottom so I could do that?

Hypothetically, yes, it could. I cannot imagine it would look right though. I guess you'll see if you get it.

Yes, I am using my unit in a horizontal position - as an entertainment center and it works well / looks great. Of course, if I were you, I would go ahead and check out the dimensions and double check the space you have under the window. If the dimensions work there, I would imagine that it would look great on its side under the window.

it's finished on all sides and that's what i originally intended the shelf for.

You can do that for sure it is finished all the way around the only downfall will be a white factory sticker that was meant to go at the bottom do not peal it off it will pull the laminated finishing on that area let me see if i can upload a picture of mine....it is sited on the side

You could since there is a bar between the front and the back... but not sure if it would effect the bottom tier!!!!

It might be a little challenge as the sides are fairly high. The top of it reaches almost level to the window!

Yes, it is built to be close to the ceiling. If you want it to hang low you probably need and extension or buy a different mount.

You could but you'd have to do some work to it first. The bottom is just thin wood slats, you'd have to bulk up the bracing and put some plywood down.

yes you can. this will put the bottom shelf a few inches closer to the floor but still above it. i agree about putting caps on to protect floor.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't lower the bottom shelf, but it would mean drilling new holes in the legs so it might not look that tidy. We gave the shelf away so I can't measure to see what the actual clearance is.

There are screw holes on the feet so if you need to screw it down so it doesn't blow away then you can. Mine isn't secured down and it hasn't blown away. It pretty waterproof and heat resistant. I've used it during the rain and it wasn't a problem. Although, if the wind is blowing the rain from the side, then you will get wet, so we put up a curtain.

We hang ours on a stack of hay bales. You could set it on the ground but yes it would be low.

I'm not a pro, just a homeowner. I suspect that the bottom is not tipped back enough, meaning that the bottom (or top, for that matter) is lower inside the window than outside the window. Perhaps the metal right angles that are supposed to be screwed into the window frame have bent.

Yes, the fabric can be pulled to the side, but the window will still have a mesh-type material on it. It is see-through, kind of like a screen.

Yes, but I did not use it, because of the lack of room above my window. It is part of the hardware enclosed.

Not sure what you would be trying to do here, it is not double sided so it cannot go underneath and if you are wanting to put on top then you should rethink that bad idea.

I agree with Cypress station. Between the door and frame(roof), yes. Then the window is not an issue. I would not try to run the strap between the window and door.

I don't know about other kits but this one can be used vertically with a little tape. I use mine on a back window so I just used the duct tape I had, you should be able to find something that is sturdy and blends in with the kit.

You would need to make something that would hold the top of the air conditioner and to cover the space above it. I don't think this would work in a sideway sliding window. You would need another smaller window glass frame or wood to hold it.

It isn't designed for vertical use. It is designed to be used with double hung windows. I suppose you could jerry-rig it to work with a casement window but it wouldn't be pretty and you may find the hoses aren't long enough.
