Can this be mounted/clamped upside-down? I want it to attach to my desk hutch, hanging below a 2-ft tall shelf.

No reason why you couldn't mount it that way if there's room. The only difficulty would be if the pole clamp loosens and the swing assembly plus monitor slides down the pole and falls off.

In theory, yes. But note there is no "cap" at the top of the post...and gravity being what it is.... I've not noticed any slipping with mine, but then again I am not super worried if there were to be.

I think that would work just fine. The clamp is designed for any horizontal surface, so if you are clamping it to a shelf instead of a desk top, it should work fine

I don't see why not. It's just basically a c-clamp. Very sturdy though; I would trust it...

While I haven't tried this myself, I do not foreseean issue with mmounting it upside down. The bracket is similar to a "C" clamp and is adjustable in such a manner that it could work. So long as there is a solid, sturdy, and protruding surface to mount it on, you should be fine.

I'd say not, it seems designed to clamp to the back edge of a desk, not for overhead use. The desk should be rather robust as well; I clamped it to the edge of a plastic foldable and the weight of the arm + monitors bent the table and wilted the whole arrangement.

Seems like the plastic bracket would hold if mounted to upside down. The unit is fairly light but the bracket is plastic and once set in bracket it has one tilt slot not much tilt at at all maybe 1or2 inches at most.

Yes, but it's made to hang..I have just set it on the shelf...it works great!

I secured mine with small C clamps. I did this by cutting a piece of flat molding 3\4 " W X 1\4 thick and mounting this with one end sticking unto the part where the screw would have gone and clamping the wood to the bottom of the desk. Otherwise I would have had to clean off the desk and turn it upside down to screw on the brackets. Works quite well and if it loosens I just retighten the clamps. My clamps by the way were from a previous Fellows under disk which did not work too well. This one does .

I wouldn't recommend hanging it upside down. The glass does not sit securely in the base of the light fixture so there is some play in the glass. There is a nut that hold the glass in place but it just doesn't seem that secure to me. Good luck and happy hunting.

It is ABSLOLUTELY NOT designed for that. Shelf might be strong enough, but it would tip right over, in my opinion.

It can be mounted in any orientation. I mounted one on the underside of my laundry shelf, and it works well.

I believe it can be.... I just have it on my desk leaning on the wall, so I never mounted it...

I do not know about being hung, it is designed as a table top / shelf model, however with the proper size brackets with bottom support for the unit - I would think work.

It can, but it will probably not be stable. It doesnt have the weight to the wood like a regular wood shelf would have.

I don't see why not. Although I did not install it myself. I had my electrician do it. Looking at it though, I don't see any issue with hanging it upside down.

yes I would think so. The hole for the knob is drilled in the middle and the shelves are adjustable. There is nothing about it that would make it look "upside down" if you did that.

I wouldn't recommend it, you'd end up with the unit hanging at an odd angle, I suspect, if not the unit then the post, for sure.

I don't think so because there are grooves that it fits in at the top that hold it in place from swinging side to side and falling through the bottom. if you hung upside down I think the arch would fall out of the stay on the wall.

The way that the vertical posts are built prohibit this. I bought shorter shelf systems. Keep looking you will find them.

It would really depend upon what you were going to put on the shelf. Its only two fixed shelved are the very top and the very bottom, and to use any sort of bracket effectively would require at least partial removal of the heavy cardboard backing which goes a long way towards the unit's stability (I speak from experience; I have two of these one with and one without the backing." And I would *NOT* trust hanging this with rings and tacks.
