this looks like it might wobble because of the rounded bottom. Any problems with stability?

It does not wobble. The bottom is flat. We drink pressed coffee every morning. This is a great product. We have two!

NOT AT ALL. I liked this so much that I bought 2, one for the boat and one for camp

The sides are rounded as a design, but the actual bottom is flat. Stability is not an issue. I love mine and it's large enough that both my husband and I can have more than one cup of coffee.

No - we've had ours for a couple of years. It's great, and very stable. The bottom is actually flat.

The picture looks distorted, to me. Mine is sleek looking, and functions fine. I keep mine on a cork board because it gets hot.

This question makes me chuckle, you'll see why when I explain:We purchased this pot in 2006-7, and it sat perfectly flat. The best coffee maker we've experienced, and only the thin heat escaping lid kept it from perfection. We were happy to demonstrate for our house sitter how to use it one year, but he must have spaced it, because he put our French press on the stovetop. He thought he was supposed to heat the water and coffee that way. SO! We came home to a wobbly French press. This was 2009, and it works great to this day. I'm only on here now to check into a replacement screen, just in case the original wears out.

Mine got extremely wobbly if the ground was even slightly bumpy and no matter how evenly distributed the weight was, if it was carrying more than 15 pounds it would tip over very easily. I wouldn't rely on this for anything over 10-20 pounds.

Yes it is very sturdy. I have never had it tip or wobble. The handle works great for reaching and keeping balanced. Enjoy

J, after studying the bottom, I'm afraid it would not be best for that, since it's not a flat surface. Also, it's so light weight, I fear it would tip over easily.

I think it could still be stable if the grade of slope is minor and it is otherwise firmly on the ground (not rocking or balancing over a bulge or something). I'm an average size mom and I cannot lift it, so it has nice weight to keep it grounded with the large base size.

It is a bit wobbly but we have it in a corner. we really like the piece as long as it isnt somewhere where it would get bumped easily then it should work fine. hope this helps.

As far as the stability, I haven't noticed a wobble. It' a good bench and have been very pleased with it. My fiancee' and I use it often and it affords a variety of uses. We have an Olympic set that is very compatible.

It is stable and level but it can wobble if manually rocked. You can prevent that with a little wedge but I do not use one. It sits on my window ledge Hope that helps

Yes. That's how i have mine. It does feel a little wobbly but as long as you don't move it too much and keep it on a solid surface it should work just fine.

Well, the base has four fairly large stabilizer bars that I think hold it really very well, the only thing that wobbles is the actual form on the pole kind of wiggles. I think if your wings are super super heavy you could always drop a couple sand bags on the legs but chances are I think you'd be fine. Good luck.

I bought it for my toddler to use, but I went up on it and my husband (over 210 lbs) did too and it's super solid and stable. Not a single time I thought it was wobbly.

The equipment is not square so it wobbles when being used, especially when using the front of the tower. I.e. the dips and VKRs. I am smaller in weight so it's fine for me but my husband is 160lbs and its more unstable for him.

I have it on it's stand and I'm confident the stand will do what it's supposed to do. You have about 78lb spread across a width of 62 inches centered at the middle of the set so of course it will wobble if you push on it; I don't see that as a problem. What I'd be more concerned about is the display falling forward in an earthquake so I have installed restraining straps on the back tethered to the table it sits on. Relax it ain't gonna fall sideways. The only way it would not wobble is if you had two stands; one at each end.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

The legs swing out and will hit an ultimate maximum angle they will extend to (about 120~150 degrees). The legs are metal, and the surface is a hard wood (or simulated wood, I am not sure specifically what materials). With the table on a hard surface like a table or something, the legs will extend to their maximum angles and stop. From that point, yes it should be very stable (mine doesn't really wobble). I don't think it is meant for use on a hard surface, though, so here are no pads or anything to prevent scratching a table finish, etc.

No wobble at all on mine, you may have a slight bend in the frame or blade, or the blade may not be tight.

No my does not wobble. It is super strong and sturdy. I think you got a bad one. I love mine!!!!!!
