Can it be placed side way? and would the bins still fit?

No. The shelves are resting on pins and would fall sideways. The bottoms of the shelves are not finished. You'd need to paint them and screw them in place to place the unit sideways.

The shelves sit on 4 pegs each, with gravity keeping them in place. I think if you placed the unit on its side, the shelves would fall.

Yes, I have plastic bins under it. Thin ones as the clearance is not too high

The bins are different sizes. I found that they are deep enough to fit toys etc., there are some that are long and shallow.I was still able to store toys (cars)...I'm sorry I can't be more specific but I'm not home to measure each bin. I can say that the unit is great! It goes well with the rest of our furniture and it's well made.

Sure - Can't see why not. For something big that would be fine. Smaller things would get "lost" into / between the bins. But if you take some bins out and instead store something big in that space - sure.

I don't know about the storage bins -- I have baskets on my shelves -- but the unit is not very deep -- there about 9.5" deep.The bins are 10.5 deep so they should stick out by about an inch. If that's OK with you, it should work.

You can place it in one side--that shouldn't be a problem. Just verify the dimensions.

You can use the supplied plastic connectors to join two of these (or even more) however, these bins are kind of floppy until they're at least partially filled. You would have to stake it up . . . at least temporarilly.

Ours is mounted on right side, but I did not put it together- one of our workman did that. I am assuming it could be mounted either side.It does need to be assembled.

As it is no, because the bin has three hooks molded on it that must be put in the slots on the edge of the console. The lid and hinge are in the way so it cannot be hung from the edge. You could probably make some slotted holes in the bin and add a couple screws to the back of the console and hang it from them. Or maybe Velcro would work too.

It appears they were designed with ridges on the short sides that are supposed to sit on the inside ridge of each short side. It's not the most stable system, and stacking one on the other cuts down on the usable volume of the bin.

It would only be stackable if the items you placed inside made it that way. The bag is not rigid enough to be stackable on its own.

yes they can be placed either way. the only problem I have is they only fit the small bottles

The bins fit perfectly they just don't have the hole handle. The handles are on the side which you don't see when they are in place.

Yes, the storage bin can be rolled away entirely. It is not attatched to any part of the desk. It would be easy enough to reposition seating without the bin in the way, so wouldn't be a problem sideways. (I have an image posted here where you can see the storage bin rolled out.)

I don't see why not. On one end, the brackets are attached to the track, so the orientation of the bin shouldn't matter. Note however that it's best to mount the other end to the frame of the cabinet door, because the frame is thicker. I have an extra wide door so I had to mount the brackets to the door panel, which is too thin for the screws. So I glued a piece of 1/4" plywood to the back of the door panel and mounted the brackets to it.

No. The only overhang is on the front. So you could put them side to side without issue I believe.

they would fit, but they will not slide in and out. I just measured the hight to the bottom of the platform on the outside edge and it was a bit over 12 inches, but there is more space under the platform if your willing to lift it up to get your bins in and out.
