Is this stable when working on a hard surface?

Yes it is stable on a hard surface if the legs are adjusted all the way out to the sides.

The legs swing out and will hit an ultimate maximum angle they will extend to (about 120~150 degrees). The legs are metal, and the surface is a hard wood (or simulated wood, I am not sure specifically what materials). With the table on a hard surface like a table or something, the legs will extend to their maximum angles and stop. From that point, yes it should be very stable (mine doesn't really wobble). I don't think it is meant for use on a hard surface, though, so here are no pads or anything to prevent scratching a table finish, etc.

Yes, but the weighting is key. And the surface needs to be even. It's a precarious structure if set on an imbalanced surface and not heavily weighted.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

It should be fine. There are non-skid surfaces and it's sturdy enough to prevent collapse.

Seems very stable to me. The instructions say you should file the four base compartments with either stones or sand. I used inexpensive construction quality sand from Home Depot and it worked very well. Hope this helps.

It is pretty stable on level ground. I am careful to keep my feet on the ground. I love the kneeler overall - use it to garden, when painting baseboards in the house, scrubbing floors, etc. I have trouble getting up and down, and this helps greatly.

I've had it on carpet and on hard surfaces. The rack remains stable on all.

Yes; it may seem a bit shaky during assembly, but once everything is tightened it's pretty rigid. It can be picked up one-handed and will stay in shape, there was no noticeable movement loading it up, and it's stayed solid for several months now. You'd really have to go beyond its intended use to see it become shaky.

It is supposed to move for stability with the surface. That is the way it works Phillips

It is stable and level but it can wobble if manually rocked. You can prevent that with a little wedge but I do not use one. It sits on my window ledge Hope that helps

It holds well on firm surfaces. It also has a downward tilt at the top and an upward tilt at the bottom of the incline. If you zoom in you can see what I mean. Can't say for any other surfaces.

No, it would not work on a soft or uneven surface. It is great, however, on a hard surface, and is easily transportable.

I've never had that issue either, and I do dips on it fairly often. I will say when doing dips, making sure it's on a hard surface is important to help reduce wobble.

No that won't happend it nice when used on a flat surface but it's not sturdy or portable at all.

I never try it against a hard surface,I use it on a small paved walkway,works fine there,only one thing ,make sure bolts are tight on handle,mine come loose and loose one,after 10 minutes of use.

Yes, very stable. I use it with a large vise and a normal sized drill press while working on my motorcycle engines on it.
