Does the base lock into the top portion, or does it just rest on top?

Both pieces interlock easily, and can be pulled apart if need be. I'm very happy with the product!

Yes, you have to lock the top onto the base...it will snap in when it's in place.

The bottom is one piece, and helps the top to keep a firm position as a base.

It sits securely, but does not seem to lock into place how it should no matter how hard you try.

it sits on top... it is pretty heavy plus there's some padding on the base to keep the glass from moving so it is pretty stable.

It opens at the top. If you stand it in its side it probably will stay in the position you put it in.

The rack on the top has slots on one end which locks on the other end. It's very simple yet convenient since it folds the rack down completely.

Sort of. The top(s) independently slide toward the ends of the unit, but the locking mechanism engages both tops at the same time. So one top can be slid out, and the other is then not secured but does not have to be slid out.

It DOES NOT. I have the latches board, and some of the metal latches stick up just a bit too far. I keep mine resting on the top. So its a solution, but not perfect.

It just slips into either base, however is fairly stable. I haven't had an issue unless I hit it straight up hard. I have mine in the weighted base on the upper shelf of my desk so it hangs down over what I'm working on this is best for my space on hand.

it sits on the top but once the ice pop sticks are in place it is held firm. it doesn't move around at all because the sticks prevent it from moving.

The top does come off. There are pins that are supposed to hold the top in place, but I had to physically bend them to about 30 degrees so that they would engage the locking mechanism. Compared to others that we bought, however, these are our favorites.

No, it just rests on top. Water could get inside. Otherwise, it's excellent. This is my second in about 6 years.

While the top cover does fasten firmly to the base of the unit, the compartment dish piece inside does not lock into place. It essentially just rests on the rotating mechanism, and would most likely come loose and not rotate when inverted.

No actual locking mechanism but it does sit relatively securely. When operational I do hold it in place just in case.

Yes it just hangs to the top. We have not used it much, more money than we should have spent.

This is for you! The base stays put while the top swivels. I like this product a lot and recommend it, especially for older, heavier television sets (which I will not get rid of - who needs HD or 3D?). Hope this helps you decide!

Yes, the glass sit on top of the base. It's very stable because the glass is very sturdy, thick and heavy.
