I have wood floors. I'm wondering if this bookshelf would slip on wood floors?

I do not recommend this item on wood floors. I have carpet, and I still have to have this lean a little bit against a wall due to the poorly designed/made 3rd leg.

This shelf is well supported, so you shouldn't need to worry about it slipping. It's held up very well for us for the last several months. I have it loaded down with college text books.

I have wood floors as well and I have had no slipping at all with this product.

I have laminate wood looking floors and mine does not slip. I do have my bottom shelf weighted pretty good with photo albums so that might be keeping it more secure.

No, but it will break if you put even a medium weight on it. I own three. Two have buckled.

It will stay in place on carpet. I have mine on carpet & I have not had any problems out of it. If you weigh it down I'm sure it could fall but I just use mine for small items & a few books.

Yes. The problem is, Jessica, that after you've unfolded the desk, it won't stay in place and support even a small book of sheet music unless the ledge is holding it in place. This also wouldn't be a problem, except that there's nothing to keep the ledge in place besides friction and gravity. You can't get the stand to hold the position you see in the picture. You have to put the ledge on the top, and rest the book on the bottom. Then it will only hold provided that you not touch it.

Hard to say. Might be too top heavy. Maybe if you put books on bottom shelf.

you can glue little rubber feet to the bottom, which will prevent sliding.. or that rubber matting that you put under carpets. I have mine against a window seat.. it does double duty to assist my old guys in climbing up.. but I always find it in other areas of the room, and turned over.. they don't seem to mind, and get quite excited when I right it!

I believe so, but depending on the floor it may slide. I would put some rubberized mats or carpet stops under it to help prevent it if the floor is slick.

I found it slipped quite a bit on a hardwood floor. I used carpet grip padding underneath and it held ok. I did not use it on to of a carpet. Guessing that may give the grip it needs to stay still.

If it's on carpet it's probably ok but on hardwood it can easily slide. Also the back is unfinished unpainted particle board so it might not look great exposed.

I'm not sure, but I have some pretty heavy hardcover books without any bowing of the shelves. Hope that helps!

No, it doesn't slide on our wood floor. I have the two sides flush against the desk with the center piece that goes under the desk. Then there is the heavy rolling chair on it. I roll across it a lot to reach different areas and have not had it slide at all.

In my futon, it is fine. On my bed, it falls out because the books are too heavy. You may have to pin it to the box spring somehow to keep it from falling.

If you have tile or hardwood floors it doesn't slip! It kind of has a non slip grip at the bottom to help.

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.

Surprisingly, it doesn't slide on my wood floors and would recommend it highly. Will be buying 3 more for my other rooms.

Probably, but I would suggest that the bookcase be used on a solid floor, rather than carpeting, for the best stability, when putting a tv on it.

Mine works fine on carpet. Put something heavy of the bottom shelf and you should be ok. And I place my things toward the center of each shelf. Looks really good.

Yes it will slip on wood floor, there is no "grip" on bottom & plastic base is way to narrow to apply some type of solution (Velcro,3M tape,etc)
