can this be turned on its side?

Yes, you its is symmetrical on all sides. There are attachments to secure it to the wall as well.

Essentially yes, however its exactly a square so not sure why you would turn it.

Yes it can. You would have to put it on it's side, but it will function still completely. Should have no problem. :)

Yes it can lay on its side although the stand is as shown in the picture a triangular shape. It may be awkward but I don't think if left will fall over

Yes, it will stand on its side so I guess you could watch a video. Never tried it before.

Yes, it works fine on its side but the oscillating function is pretty useless if you do so. I actually laid mine down on its side for a while and has no issues.

Yes, you could turn it either way depending upon the width of your shelf and your preference.

As stated already, yes and it can go on either side. And it is not difficult getting it on.

Yes, you can turn it upside down and put your feet on top or use on the side.

Unfortunately, no. It screws on. If you were very handy you might mount the screw on the other side.

It is a great stand. Yes, you can turn that on it side, just make sure your monitor also allows you to rotate. You have to measure your monitor lengthwise.

There is an exposed screw on the bottom which you would see if you turned it the other way. Not sure whether it would have any impact on the functionality.

It needs to be on it's side. Sometimes you can get the balance just right for it to stand up, but it wasn't engineered to do so.

No. It is rimmed on the bottom (I did not realize that when I bought it) so it's usable on one side only.

Yes, but keep it away from edges and lay it on the side for better stability.

Yes it can. It's difficult to do because it is difficult to open as you said. The side slides down but I had to work at it. Good luck!

Yes! You can move it to either side up or down and aim it to your liking. I read a few reviews stating it didn't stick or hold, but it's working fabulously well for me. No complaints. I check it everyday just to see if it's still holding up & it's just sitting there nice & strong.

I'm right handed so I have mine on the right side, there's no wrong side to mount this thing. Other than that, you'll need an extra gear to reverse it and this product doesn't come with one, so other than flipping it to the other side, no you won't be able to.
