Can you use this without the pedestal piece? ....so it's flat on the table, with the lid? Thanks

Yes. The pedestal comes off and the cake plate is reversable (flat on the cake side, four compartments on the other).

The base is one piece. The pedestal can't be removed. You could use the dome over a plate. It is reversible but then you have the pedestal sticking up to put dip in and there are compartments to divide out crackers, veggies, etc.

No. The pedestal is attached to the bottom. You can turn the base upside down and use it as a serving piece as it has divided sections. The pedestal can be filled also.

Yes, it'll sit flat on a table and stand on it's own, but it's not very stable and will easily tip over if nudged.

In addition to Jerry's answer, I will add: The table looks pretty; needs better & longer screws to hold the top to the pedestal. If you have someone to help turning table upright after putting it together, otherwise it will separate and damage the nail holes. Hope that helps! If you are buying cheap you take a risk!!! The chairs are fine.

I have not but you certainly could. One suggestion: be sure to put things on the bottom shelf first to make it more stable. I have bag of soil, pots, tools, etc. on mine. Am very happy with the table.

I suppose you could assemble the bench without it, but a) as another person said the damper to keep the top from slamming shut is attached to it; b) the divider also makes the unit stable; c) The lid/seat might sag without support.

Nope. The lid will sit on it just fine without the grate. We've never even used the grate!

Yes, you could just assemble it without the table. Alternatively though you can just turn the table around to face the other way so it's not in the work area.

We sell this table separately without the glass. Please follow the link below for more details http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J7ZOF9G

In theory you could. The post that runs down the middle is in sections so you could unscrew it take the top glass off, the middle post section off and then screw the top piece back on. If you are looking for flat like for a cake --not sure how that would work and still be stable. It is truly beautiful-- much better than the pictures show.

The table can be used with or without the leaf. The leaf just adds 12" of extra elbow room. I hope that answers your question!

I have the bird bath and the bowl sits on the pedestal just fine. You wouldn't want to affix the bowl. That would make the bird bath awkward, clumsy, and hard to clean.

I don't think so, but I won't be able to check until tomorrow. The whole top can be removed (frame & glass together). I do like my little table though.

It may be used in the flat position. Why couldn't you use it as an artist's table?
2046972
yes it can be used flat. when I owned one I had it flat about 50% of the time and it's easy to raise and lower from flat to angled. I loved this table. the only reason I gave it away is because I moved across the country and had to get rid of all my furniture.

It can be used without the infuser but I don't know if the lid will fit as well. Have not tried that.

It will not be possible to reassemble to make it work on a table top. It is in separate pieces but the break points are at the top and bottom of the bent section. If you removed this bent piece it would make it shorter but you would lose the offset that allows the stand to balance the weight of the cage properly.

Yes it can be "left out" from the table. It will leave 4 holes exposed on the legs but shouldn't be too noticeable. Great table overall too!
