Would this shelf rest on the ground or does one have to hang it up.

It's pretty narrow, so it wouldn't stay upright very well... you'd have to attach it to the wall somehow. Also, the latches for the door are on the bottom so that probably would make it impossible to rest it on the ground. Hope that helps.

Yes I could be left on a shelf by itself, but prop it in some way. I have mine hung on the wall with four sets of screws.

Would not be very stable as is. You need to add some support to the bottom.

If doneat an angle maybe. Its not very deep compared to the rest of demensions. It is designed to be hung.

One shelf is provided, you can use it or not. And it can be placed at varying heights.

Not really, you would need to remove shelf and add something for files to hang

The shelves sit on 4 pegs each, with gravity keeping them in place. I think if you placed the unit on its side, the shelves would fall.

I think it would. The shelf is held up by exerting pressure on either side of the wall; I don't think the type of surface should matter.

That depends... there aren't any holes for screws, so it isn't designed to be hung. However, there is a small wood board on the back, that you could drill holes into and attach it to the wall that way. The shelf is heavy, so you would need really strong mounting screws or extra support in the hardware you use (or screw into a stud). So, bottom line is it probably could be hung on the wall - but it isn't designed to be.

I would think it needs to be mounted. It is top heavy and would fall over. I mounted it to the end of a cabinet.

The bottom shelf needs to be attached, it is the only thing holding the four legs together. If you remove that, the shelves will be completely unstable.

It just rests on the bottom but the hangar attaches to the bottom so it will not fall. I have two of these and I absolutely love them.

I shelf might be affixed, I can't remember. It looks just like the picture when complete.

There is an anchor with the Bookshelf, so if it's a flatscreen TV you're speaking of, I would say, yes to on top. I don't know how stable it would be if you left a 'shelf' out to place the TV inside. But, I would say it should be okay with the anchor attached to the wall. It's really pretty stable for the price and looks great too!

The shelf is fastened with metal brackets that are screwed into pre-drilled holes.I suppose that the pre drilled could easily be relocated without any problems.

It leans on the wall (it doesn't stick) so it shouldn't be a problem. The weight of the items you put on it will also help keep it stationary.

Hello, it probably can stand freely without leaning against the wall, but you would probably want the extra support if you plan to put things on the shelves.

It truly leans...no attachements to the wall necessary. There is even a little leg under the large bottom shelf to help support the shelf if you put heavier items (books) on it.

The shelves on this are pretty low to the ground (I think the top shelf only sits about 13" off the ground). I have it set up in the living room of an apartment that I'm in the process of moving into and don't have any issues but I don't even have the coffee table in yet. As long as you have a line-of-site to it you'll be fine but I could see having an issue in a small space with any obstacles in the way. Otherwise, it's a great stand.

I have my 'free standing' on the ground but you could easily drill holes and use some lag bolts to attach it to a wall or floor in the garage, basement, etc. My unit has held up quite well for several years now but it has been kept in the garage the entire time. Bolts have not slipped or become loose. Overall very satisfied with the rack.
