Are they sturdy enough to use as a room divider on carpet and is the back finished? Thanks for your help.

Not sturdy enough to be a room divider. The back is cardboard covered with a veneer to match the bookcase.

I would be nervous doing that, as mine is also on carpet and definitely leans against the wall. I would be nervous that it would topple over if bumped too hard. We have a different bookcase doing something similar on our carpted floor - we went for a bookshelf that is both wider and deeper.

The back is not finished and for bookshelfs they are sturdy but again the back isn't finished. I wouldn't suggest using them for that purpose.

Yes it is sturdy. It was placed on a thick carpet and been given some inclination toward the wall by offsetting the adjustible front nobs at the bottom.

No, thier pretty sturdy. I've used them when I worked and bought them for my personal use.

Probably not. They are cheap plastic and if hung on wall items can spill out or if overfilled they can also tip over lastly the drawers don't open all the way,so you can't really see what's in back of drawer.I suggest to make shelves out of plywood or real wood. Good luck to you. :)

Yes, it's very sturdy. It comes with special screws to attach to a wall to prevent it tipping over but I didn't need to use it - it stands up without any wavering. Please note, I have it on a floor not carpet but I don't suspect it will be a problem on carpet.

I have carpet as well and they have yet to tip over. They have a pretty hefty counter weight at the bottom which helps out a lot, you can also adjust the height to lower the center of gravity and stabilize it even more. That being said, I do recommend these stands. I have not had a problem with tip overs and I have owned others that are extremely unstable and these are anything but. I hope this helps, feel free to ask anything else.

Hi Michael,This item is good quality. It can definitely handle standing as a room divider. I was able to slide it across the floor after assembly and it held tight. Hope this helps.

The rails are solid plastic and pretty sturdy. They slide smoothly. Although I recommend using wood glue when putting the drawers together. The drawers are a little wobbly with out it.

Oh yes! Don't get me wrong. It's VERY sturdy. I bought 2 other cabinets that I built and they both have backs to them. I'm about to buy a couple more. Love the quality for the price!

They are pretty sturdy. Only problem is the price. You can find it at lowes for half price.

Dear Davis; To answer your question the best I can: well 'kinda', (Sorry to be so vague). The where purchased for my parents. They are sturdy, yes, I guess I'd refer to them as sturdy. After receiving them, I would certainly buy them again. I hope this helps. If you would like further information, please don't hesitate to ask.

I have this shelf, and love it. Super easy to assemble, too. It is finished on both sides, and I suppose if you fill up the shelves fully, yes, it could be a good room divider.

Yes, really sturdy and good looking. Sturdy enough for a bed. Be sure they are screwed intothe frame as far as possible and you could use a carpenters glue for more security if needed.

They're very sturdy. Mine are stacked 4 high so far, and I would go higher if need be. I seem to recall when I was doing my research on them that someone who had written a review for Amazon talked about how high he had stacked them, so you might check out older reviews.

Yes, they are quite heavy and should settle into thicker carpet nicely. If you are worried about divots in the carpet, I would suggest getting some small furniture sliders to put under the feet.

They are fairly sturdy but they really aren't designed for side stacking. If you are using them for something light you might be ok but I would look to in the least tie them together.

Probably. I actually turned 2 on their sides to make a daybed with storage, so I don't know about standing them up on carpet. I can tell you they are HEAVY. I think if you assembled as instructed and maybe added a little wood glue in the joints, you'd be fine.
