On a scale of one to tippy....how likely is it to fall over?
150733
Although it looks quite unsturdy after you see for yourself how it all went together, even with the shelves full of stuff, it hasn't yet actually looked like it would ever fall over, although the heavy stuff is on the bottom. BUT if there are ANY small children or disabled or elderly people in the house, I would NOT recommend this bookcase. The top half WILL easily separate and fall on anyone who pulls on it a little too much. And it could separate and fall over if someone bumps into it too hard or falls against it.OR, as the previous answer states, you really should fasten the top half to the wall or something next to it. Whatever would hold it up best.

Mine does not wobble or flex. It also came with 2 small L brackets to attach it to the wall if you felt it was necessary but mine isn't going anywhere. It is also in an office with commercial carpeting on a poured concrete floor so there is no flexing or "squishiness" to the floor. For me it would be a 1 on the scale.

100 % likely to fall. I could use only the bottom half. Complete waste of time and money.

We are using this unit as a pantry, cans of food, flour "heavy stuff" so I fastened it to existing cabinets. I would always secure a tall item like that as to not risk an injury or mishap, they are very rugged and work well for us. Hope that helps.

Not likely, but I wouldn't put anything on the top. More likely the shelves will bend under weight. I would put shims under the front bottom if it leans forward from the wall.

It depends on how you load it. If you put heavy things in the front and light things in the back, it will tip over.

No, but it is small and compact, unlikely to tip over. Move important is - NEVER USE HIGH HEAT. Use low or medium. High will trip a breaker or burn a hole in the wall.

Yes, that should be fine. Especially if you have stuff in it. If not, then it won't topple, but it might budge.

The chair is pretty stable so just sliding around on it shouldn't cause it to tip over. If a child were to climb up the back or something like that, maybe then.

It's not easy to tip over but that might depend on how big your puppy is.... :)

It's very unstable. It certainly will stand upright and stay that way if you don't do anything to it, but compared to a standard upright with a wider base it falls over very easily.

I gave it as a gift, so I don't know firsthand, but he does have it on carpet and has never complained of it tipping, so I would assume that it is not easily tippable at all.

It's very sturdy. Mine sits on a gym mat. Since it's not bolted down, it's only gonna be as sturdy as your floor is evenly flat. I haven't had mine shake on me. My friend claims when he's struggling on the dips, he's had it slightly shake. Nothing extreme like tipping over. Obviously because if you let your body shake, the tower will too. Rock solid in my opinion.

Sorry I am not sure have never done it but it may! I am thinking it may be to top heavy and fall over.

I wouldn't say "Easily" but it DOES tip given a modest amount of pressure. So, it's ok to have in the corner and a slight push won't knock it over. However, we did recently have one of the kids knock it over but only because it was laden with a LOT of jackets, hats, umbrellas, etc and the kid pulled on one of the coats.

I have it on a carpeted floor in a corner. It is not top heavy. No problems with it wanting to tip over.

No, my clumsy 3 y/o has no issues. I have even stepped on it and tried to tip it. It is very easy to set up and break down, but is resistant to tipping.

well its pretty sturdy, you have to really hit it hard to knock it over, but I don't think it comes with a tip-over feature, I just turned it on and laid it on the floor and it stayed on ...so I don't think so.

I have gotten in and tried to tip it over and found it very difficult. This thing is built like a tank. I have recently purchased a second so I have one for each of my littles.

It's stable. Our toddler is crazy and he would have to work hard to tip it. So yes if they really try they could but it's not super tippy or anything.
