Can this cook book holder be disassembled, cut down to 14", reassembled and installed? Thanks.

It seems to me that cutting the wooden length from 18" down to 14" would be no big deal, but you would also have shorten the plexiglass folding page holder and book holder by 2" and then round the edges of the plexiglass as well. This shortening project would also mean remounting the four hinges.

It would be possible to reduce it to 16" but probably no more. Too bad. It's a good product.

Yes, you could do that. The finish may be compromised as it is a veneered surface. The edges would need finishing of some type.

I have used it with cookbooks of all sizes, both hardback and paper bound, with great success. It's a great cookbook holder and I love how it folds up for storage!

No. The larger clear acrylic panel is already attached by the hinges, and the smaller panel that supports the back of the cookbook/tablet just sits in one of several slots. Adjusts in seconds. No tools.

I just reassembled one that had been carefully disassembled. It is very sturdy now. However, a couple of the shelves got a small veneer loss during the disassembly. I do not see any loss of functionality due to disassembly.

I don't have mine anymore, but someone else posted that it is 12-1/2 inched from bottom rim to mount. If so, a slender 12" cookbook would fit!

Hmmm...I honestly don't know. I think the depth of the frame to hold an open book would be okay, it's the weight of the book I'm not sure of. The stand is well made and very sturdy, so it could work out okay. If I had a cookbook that size, I'd be happy to experiment to help you out. Sorry...

No, but it does work great in a 14"... It's great for perfect biscuits. I also use a Lodge L8DOT3 Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Meat Rack/Trivet, 8-inch under it... Never a burn...

Not without bending it with a pair of pliers. I see no need to remove it anyway. It has two separate folding methods - one is somewhat raised as shown in this picture which makes it easy to handle when cooking - the other is to flip it over to make it lower. Also handle does not get hot when cooking. Love this pot. When cooking soups and stews this is the only pot I use anymore.

Yes you can disassemble it. It's the reverse process for putting it together, and it's easy to do

No, this would probably not be what you want. It is 14.65" from the top to bottom, as shown in the picture. You would have to turn it sideways to fit.

I just looked. It won't work. I don't even have to try. Not enough room for the handles to intertwine. Can you use the bottom drawer if you aren't loaded with serving pieces ?

My husband is a former kitchen designer.....he said no. You need 14 3/4". The feet are not that tall and the casing is molded above the feet.

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.

Sorry on the slow response, out camping! :-) absolutely, but remember this holder is 13 3/4 inches wide, so you would need at least a 15" wide door. also, the holder needs to be mounted high enough from the bottom that the handles do not protrude in such a way that you can't close the door, I'd say about 8 inches from the bottom. Does that make sense? The knife holder can not be any wider than about an inch less than the width of the door and installed about 8 inches from the bottom of the door. hope this helps

Hi Kathleen, I don't think it would hold cookbooks, unless they were the size of a paperback. The inside organizer does come out, and if you did that, you'd be able to fit some in there, but I don't think this is ideal for that use. Sorry! It is a beautiful piece. I use it to hold mail, coupons, office supplies, and things like that. The bottom drawer would definitely fit some cookbooks though! Hope this helps.Brandy

Shelves can only be removed entirely or inserted into the fixed slots like an oven. Shelves have no independent height adjustment.

While I hesitate to say cutting down the shelves would be "easy", it is certainly possible. The use of a table saw, or radial arm saw, would help greatly in keeping the shelf units the same length. I would suggest that if you decide to try it, that you pre-drill pilot holes in the shelf end cut off, since the wood used is dry and prone to splitting.
