If I live in a home that has to have a new base and was built in the 1700s, would this make it collapse?

You will be fine. Mine was built in 1874, if anything you will have better soundproofing!!

Hello!!, I would say, although it is built very well and is quite sturdy, it would depend on the weight of your unit, I wouldn't want to find out that after a little while it collapses. I wouldn't.

Sorry, but the new model will not fit into the base of the old one. There is just a small change in the new one that keeps it from fitting. But it is an easy job to replace the base, provided of course that you shut off the power at the breaker panel. I replace one of the bases that was 15 feet from the floor. That was the hardest one, since I had to use an extension ladder, not a nice solid step ladder. Good luck.

Sorry I don't know. Ours broke at the middle tier and doesn't collapse as it should.

if I put mine with a wall base with no problem.I'm using an online translator because I do not speak English.

Only if you can fix the shed on a pole or a wall, otherwise it may be blown away. For safety reasons, you better have a foundation.

It would need to be under cover. The base is heavy enough, but I don't see it holding up to "the elements".

Not if it doesn't work anymore like mine. With a working one and a good masonary bit however, it will no problem.

Not really, but if you live in earthquake-ville like I do then you probably should. It leans on the wall so it won't fall forward but could fall to the side if really jostled around. If you're looking for a quality piece don't buy this -- it's compressed wood with a stain on it. Poorly made and very rickety. The shelves don't stay level either, they shift because they're only held at one point on each side. I wish I had just invested in a bit more money and purchased the ones from Pottery Barn.

If your tunnel collapses there is some kind of defect. Our tunnel, which we have had for a couple of years, is very stable no matter what is going on. It would be very difficult to even collapse it on purpose if we were trying to put it away.

Depends upon the type of house you are installing. Our birdhouse did not require a base as it was held in place top and bottom by brackets.

I don't think it would hold up well to that. It has a wood top. I use ours out side but bring it in when I am done.

Absolutely. This piece is very well put together. You will be surprised at how incredibly stable it is once you put it together (which is easier done on the floor or on a table). I purchased a second unit and actually put one on top of the other while I reorganized the basement. Still no problem and no fear of collapse. I'm sure it would support a small appliance like a microwave without a problem.

Yes it will break down in to manageable pieces but it takes time and some tools. One thing you should really consider is the fact the piece screw right to the wood and wood will strip after 1 or 2 times of building and breaking down. I hope this helps good luck.

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.

It's quite heavy and so quite stable without a base. I've been using mine for a couple of years and never, if one is doing it right, would you need it to be more stable.

yes, absolutely take it upstairs in pieces. too heavy to do otherwise. be careful and good luck !!
