how is it anchored to the wall? Will it tip if not anchored?

Included are 2 L-shaped brass brackets with bolts that go into the wall behind it, and into the the top shelf side rail. I wouldn't trust it not to tip; it doesn't just fall over, but kids could certainly pull it down in my opinion. The wood is not sturdy, very lightweight. And I suppose it depends how you load it. We specifically looked for a bookcase that could be anchored to the wall.

It works perfectly mounted on the wall and sitting on the desk. I have mine pushed against the wall on my desk, and I have never had a problem with it tipping over

No. It is on casters and is very sturdy without attaching to the wall. Hope this helps

The stand does not need to be attached to a wall or placed against a wall for support. My stand is inside an armoire. It is quite stable but then it remains secure inside the armoire. I would not place it on a table that could be bumped by accident. A sharp jolt could cause it to tip over as the weight of the TV makes it somewhat top heavy. Good luck.

No, it is pretty stable without being attached. I've had mine for a few months without it being screed into the wall and haven't had any problems. :)

We have ours in our bedroom, against a wall, but not mounted to the wall so they have never "tipped". However I would NEVER have a bookshelf in a house with small children not mounted to a wall. This is extremely dangerous and children have died from a bookshelf falling on them. Not worth the risk. Mount it to the wall.

I suppose you could as long as you nailed it to the wall, it would tip when the doors opened if not anchored to a solid support. I love mine, it has plenty of room and was very easy to hang. Hope this helped.

If the floor is reasonably flat and level, you should have to problem with it freestanding...if there are little children in the house, you may have to add a strap to the top and secure it to the wall to avoid any chance of them tipping it...other than that, you should be fine just letting it stand against the wall.

It's very stable. The base is weighted. I use mine without a spool on the base, and it doesn't have any issue with tipping.

Its very stable I don't have mine attached to the actual wall. It is against a wall I use it for bottles and varies wine/spirits glasses for display. It's about a year since I purchased this item and have not experienced any problems at all. I don't regret this purchase, I do recommend it to other its easy to assemble and perfect shelve unit for any usage.

I actually never did screw it into the wall even though it does suggest it. Personally I've had it for nearly 2yrs now & I had no issues with it tipping over, etc... its pretty sturdy & i have a ton of DVDs packed in there as well as other electronic devices. Personally I dont think its necessary at all.

Yes it's a very nice cabinet. We have it sitting in an alcove in our master bath. However we chose to anchor it to the wall even though it is unlikely to tip. It has a good solid base of good weight.

Assembly is required but it is simple. Once it is assembled it simply leans on the wall. It is secure and I have had no problems with it.

It doesn't tip over at all. There's a clear plastic base that supports it. You probably can't see it very well in this pic.

It will mount as securely as the wall behind it allows for, and I have used anchors. No wobble and that is a good thing as the magnet is strong.

I never attached mine to the wall as it was stable enough to stand in the position I put it. It is very portable - folds up nicelyno experience with wall attachment.

There is no need to attach to a wall. It stands very stable by itself. Goodluck!
