Can the scale be stored standing or upright in a cabinet or must remain flat?

I can only say I store my scale on its side and it seems to be working fine

Yes, I was able to lay the cover down 180 to weight an item that was 1000 gram a bit larger than the scale(free of any obstruction on all side) but make sure you don't cover the display. However, the cover does not fold 360 degree (180 backward)

When you can you can't have the jars resting on a flat bottom. They make it that way in case you dont Use the rack inside

Yes you can. The plastic cover simply protects the scale from dust. Verify the dimensions of the scale b4 you purchase to be sure you can get all your weighables on the scale itself.

Opinion only. Yes, but or maybe. Rug would be fine. Is there a pad underneath and how deep and soft would that be? My scale is on an old wood floor with flexible boards. With my scale there is a slight [10th of a pound] variance if I rock back and forth. Basically nothing. The balance mechanism is all internal, nothing to do with the floor. When you put this scale in any place, there is an adjusting screw on the left of the balance, so you zero the scale to fit its existing environment, temperature, et cet. That's why it's so accurate. Also it has no springs - which vary depending on temperature, and even vary when you step on a bathroom scale more than once. This is the exact same scale. make and model, as in my doctors' offices in Kaiser Permanente - if that's a recommendation.

It can be stored upright if it is supported on both sides otherwise it will bend

As with most scales they work better on a solid surface...level wood/tile floor...and if your in a habit if moving it sometimes it will register weight differently. If it has to be on a carpet I would put a a piece of wood/hard plastic under it such as a cutting board or maybe 3/8, 1/2 inch piece of board . so if you put the scale under the bed lets say and pull it out the weight it going to be off..

John,It will stay upright. You can not push it all the way down so it lies flat. Hope this helps.

We have ours upright on the counter. I imagine they would be fine in a drawer.

The under shelf platter holder is quite sturdy. I use it to store a flat cast iron griddle. The biggest limitation I found was the item to be stored cannot be too tall (thick) as the shelf hooks extend downward somewhat.

It is meant to stand just like in the picture but I suppose if you laid it flat you could but it would not latch or be very stable. I love mine.

There are lots of things that can effect a scales accuracy. Ie: carpet, uneven tile, leaning one way or another. To use mine I have to move it out from the wall place it on even tile,(challenging because my bathroom has small tiles) stand up straight, and not tough anything (like the wall for balance).

the scale has to be put upon flat level surface. not carpet high or low. i have carpeting all over so I use this scasle in my bathroom and it's very accurate. so try the bathroom or your kitchen.it is a great scale.

Flat is relative. While still assembled you can adjust the stand to a completely horizontal level which would still be equal to the height of the legs. Disassembly would be required to get it flatter.

Yes, as most scales automatically do. Just make sure it's on a flat surface.

The bowl simply sits on top of the scale, if you chose to use it, when weighing your items. The scale fits into the bowl, for storage. This is a great scale.

That is a very good question and I don't know! Mine is kept upright in a desk drawer. Sorry I'm no help but I am also interested in the answer.
