If I set this up as free standing is it safe for a renter to use would it be safer to build it in

It is made to be used built-in or free-standing so as long as you use it according to the manufacturer's instructions, you will be fine. I use mine as free-standing.

I do not have the instruction guide with me, but I am 99 percent sure that this unit warns you not to install in an enclosed space, that it should be free standing. I will try to dig up the owners manual to verify.

Yes, you can use it indoors and no it doesn't need to be anchored in any way. It stands up on its own and moves very little as we use it in our garage.

We have ours in a motorhome and it is very stable. However, when it is in a locking position, it is not "freestanding" and is backed up against solid surface.

Hi - it will free stand, but I don't think it would be very sturdy since there is just the base to keep it up. It really should be against a wall.

I think it would work fine freestanding...ours didn't fit it was too small...if you lived in NH I'd let you see mine...too expensive to return! Really heavy...good luck

It's has its own base and will stand on its own using that alone indoors. The base has holes in it to bolt/screw it to your patio if using outdoors where wind could be a problem.

Yes. Give youeself a good 2 hrs to set it up though. Poles do not hold up well in windy confitions. It wad still cheaper than s rental though.

If you want it to be free standing. Otherwise, no because it is prefabricated and easy to put together. Sorry, but it is a great bed and should last into teen years.

Either side works fine, we have it set up the tall way. It is very sturdy. Hope that helps.

no, it is like ikea furniture, it won't be strong enough if you don't install it.

It is freestanding but they do recommend that you attach it to something. If it is outside you would want to attach it as the wind could blow it over.

Yes, but it's not freestanding. You would need to prop it between something or make some sort of a sturdy base for balance.

This house is heavy enough I don't think wind would be a problem unless the wind is really really strong. I guess u could put a couple of bricks under the "sink" or rig up a tie down like for a tent if u were really concerned

Mine is free-standing. Used it that way for years. Hope you enjoy your's as much as we have.

Audrey,I've used mine inside without any problems. It does free-stand. If I were to use it outside, I would probably add a small brace from the foot to the vertical part of the stand on each end, but if used properly it is just fine right out of the box. ThanksRon N

I would not recommend using it unless mounting it on the wall. It is not sturdy enough with a wide enough base to stand on the floor and be used. When wall mounted it works wonderfully and I am very happy with my purchase.
