In some photos it stands up on its front end, not flat. Is that stable? Then the cables come out the top, yes? Can it be on its long side, instead of flat or tall?

I bought mine in January 2014, so if you have an older or newer model this may not apply. The front surface of this is flat, but slightly angled, so setting mine on the front was not stable. It stands up, but the slightest bump would knock it over onto its top. The sides however are flat and at a 90 degree angle to the top/bottom. It can stand that way and is more stable than standing on its front, but I still wouldn't leave it that way unless there were some support to keep it from falling over if I accidentally bumped it.

On page seven or diagram seven in the instruction book you will find the how to. To attached cable management system to the stand, place appropriate holes of the cable management system over short rods. Screw cap nut onto short rods and tighten with wrench. This unit should be assembled upside down. It works like a charm! Good luck!

Yes, the one I bought is running on it's side with no problems. In fact, the DVD/CDRW drive is sideways, for that reason it makes more sense to run it sitting on it's side than standing up. As some of the other answers point out, outside of the DVD player orientation, it looks like it was made to stand up.

By the flat wooden surface on top. This rigid flat-top design is renowned for its stability, provided that it also sits on a flat surface. The thick wooden legs have the tensile strength to hold numerous counts of their own weight, when used in conjunction with the rigid flat surfaces I touched on previously. Two metal bars are included which fit snugly into the middle compartment and provide additional support (as if those glorious flat surfaces need any more support, amirite?) I do wish the middle compartment was taller though, can't even fit blu-rays in there vertically. Less sarcastic, the stand has been holding my 65' flat screen for over 2 years now, no sagging or anything, I don't know how it would hold up against a large CRT style TV though. And blu rays/DVDs won't fit vertically, so you'll want a separate rack if you have a lot.

It can be easily detached, however because of the beveled design of the back, and how the cables come out, it can't lay flat on a table (or at least I wouldn't). The base lets it lay pretty far back though. So it gets pretty flat. WT

It stands up on it's own like a laptop. The further back you open it, the more likely it is to tip over due to the tablet being vertically top-heavy but mine only falls like that when it's fully extended and I bump the table really hard or suddenly press too hard when using the touch screen. It's really remarkably stable otherwise though!

The stands' feet sit about and inch and a half before the bottom of the screen in its lowest setting. When i hung the front feet over the edge it didn't fall forward, but I wouldn't trust that unattended. It does have a vesa mount though, so you can put whatever stand you want on it. The ring around the cords on the back, that the stand sits in (bearing) is removable also.

It stands up just fine. I have it standing in my closet right now. No issues.

No, it's actually pretty flat. I put things on top without issue. Very pretty.

With the legs out all the way (braces parallel to the floor), it's very stable. What I try to do is to place the base of the stand so that two legs face the dance floor and one faces away, so that it presents a smaller profile and a leg isn't directly protruding in a manner that someone could trip on it. It will also help if you keep the load well balanced, hang heavier fixtures toward the inside, and turn the t-bar so that it isn't directly over any of the legs but more straddling them. Kind of hard to explain in text but I hope you get the point.

It will stand up in the "landscape" view. It's not super stable, but it works as long as its a flat, smooth surface.

It has a small bar that screws into the back of the frame that serves as a stand. It is very stable on a flat surface. My wife and I are amazed at the quality of the construction as well as the beautiful pictures it displays. I rate this 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone.

Yes, that is how I have mine, but it is in a corner. I am not sure how sturdy it would be completely free standing.

Yep- the sides curve under to make it very stable. Never had a problem with it moving.

The feet are different than the stock photos all the sites show of it. It is stable. More so than TVs with center stand only. Your cats will not knock this over unless a large fatty walks right up the middle of the back and pushes real hard. Unlikely. The feet sit flat on the table not teetering like it shows, its curved and has alot of contact with the surface it sits on. Its not much like the photo at all.

In my opinion it is quite stable. If you hang a several heavy jackets on one side and not the other it will tip, but otherwise it does not.

There is a little gap between the base and bottom and it does rest on all four feet that it has in the stand. It is completely sturdy. I have had my TV for a while now and there are no issues with stability.
