Can it be placed horizontally?

I gave it as a gift and I asked her. She said that it could not be placed horizontally.

Some are saying yes, others are saying no. Why no? If it is placed horizontally would the shelves still stay in place? THanks in advance. I am considering ordering two, one for an upright vertical bookshelf as pictured and another to go as a long bookshelf/console table in the same room.

I don't see why not. The top and bottom of the book case are identical with no markings or foot pads, tough there is a sticker on the bottom that's tricky to get off. And it seems sturdy enough.

I don't see why not. It just might look a little weird with all the holes from the screws, but it comes with some stickers that you can use to cover them up.

Yes, by removing four screws you can rotate to the horizontal position with right hand or left orientations. Replace screws and it is fixed horizontal

Yes it can. My installation is not straight up and down, it was a bit diagonal but it worked.

Not vertically, horizontally. And it won't fit in if you have a thick case, like the otterbox defender case. I have the commuter case and it fits but u have to bend the mount around a little to make it fit

I have it mounted horizontal but don't see why it can't be mounted vertical . Great product !

Hi Susan. Sorry for the delay...I was waiting for an answer from Craftmade! The unit is partially open on the ends...(top and bottom) and it can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Happy New Year!!

This mount is made to be installed vertical. I doubt that you could install it horizontally and make it work properly.

Yes, you can. It is advertised as being able to be used either way, and also says so in the manual. I have two that are mounted vertically and have no issues with them. :)

My mother's is mounted horizontally. My brother did the install, and didn't comment about there being any difficulties. Looks great...SO much better than those cheap plastic boxes at Lowes or Home Depot.

The packaging recommends that you do NOT mount horizontally, though mine is at a diagonal and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Hope this helps.

It can be put in horizontally with no problems! One has to be cautious though; the length is pretty long and may not even fit horizontally in all sumps.

No idea!!! Sorry... I've only installed it horizontally and I'm no longer at the house where I installed it to even check for you... sorry again. For more information you can check with the manufacturer: http://www.brinno.com/html/PHV1325.html

I don't see why not. It should be easy to mount vertically as long as it'll fit. I would say you would mount it exactly as you would if you mount it horizontally. It is pretty versatile.

I believe it would be fine to mount it vertically. mine is horizontal, but I don't see anything that would prevent or prohibit from vertical.

They could be mounted horizontally, but they are not the same width on both ends. One end has a bigger width. They were made to be mounted vertically.

I suppose you could lay it on its side, but it really is not intended to be in that position. It's rounded on the sides, so it would not lay flat.

I believe the case can be used horizontally; however, you will need to remove the inside hanger bracket and you will need to mount the wall hanging brackets (located on the back) from from the short side to long side. Please note - the hinges are located on the long side.
