Do these tip if the items in the drawers are heavy? We are thinking of using it for glassware in a chemistry lab

They are terrific drawers but I have never loaded them with heavy contents. However, if you were to put books on top of the unit, I would think the drawers would work. I use mine in a closet. I am most pleased with the flat top that I use for additional storage. I actually have a portable sewing machine sitting on top of the unit.

This is a very sturdy piece. If the drawers are top heavy It might tip from the weight. I would put heavier items in the lower drawers and work from there. This is what we did and we have no trouble with it. Hope this helps.

No they do not hold sockets firmly in place. I used mine in drawer of my tool cart where there is no chance of tipping.

I originally purchased these for monitors, and they work for that purpose, but when you try to open the drawer, the monitor wants to tip--use for one or the other, not both--defeats the purpose though. Maybe it would work if mounted to the desk with velcro?

Yes, but don't buy this. I keep forgetting to add a review. This is plastic and so lightweight that when you add anything to it, it tips forward every time you open one of the drawers. Spend a little more and get something you can count on. I can't use mine.

No, the holder is heavy enough that it doesn't tip even with only a coaster or two. I'm very satisfied with this set of coasters. Substantial coasters and holder.

drawers and shelves are attached to the same unit. Item sits fairly low to the ground and seems sturdy. I bought two of these and so far no climbing/pulling has resulted in a tip over (had item for over a year).

Technically yes. there's nothing like a track keeping the drawers in line though so they may occasionally bump.

I agree with the other answers, if the dishes are very heavy it may be to much weight for the drawers. I use them for fabric which they are fine for.

There are dividers, however the jars can tip some & therefore touch. Being sure that each jar is set in straight should remedy the tipping. Need also to be able to lift the rack straight up, or the jars may tip when taking them out of the water.

Not if you intend to pull out the drawers which is the primary value of this item. It would tip over as it is relatively heavy--which is a good thing. WE have been very pleased with this glide out shelf. Have one in each of his and her cabinets in our main bathroom.

If you place the heavier books on the bottom shelf , you should be fine . I have a small TV on the top shelf and assorted items on the rest of the shelves and have never had a tipping problem .

Yes. I just did it on your behalf and it seems to hold well. You may want to place them as low as possible in the drawer before adding the perpendicular one.

Yup, careful with the drawers though. They don't hold a lot of weight. Mine already broke. :(

Yes, they can. The back of the drawer is a little bit higher than the rest of the sides of the drawer so when you open it you don't pull the drawer all the way out. But if you tip the drawer up as you pull it out, it comes all the way out.

If yours are light or undergarments . Drawers are not real sturdy if too much wt. they will buckle. I own it and use for my hair accessories. I love it

Depending on how heavy these items are, it probably would not break. However, it is possible that the pressure from these items may make the drawers a little difficult to open. I probably have a good 5 pounds of weight on mine and it does not cause me any trouble at all. I hope this helps

Yes- the canisters are about half the height of normal silverware. Never had any problems with tipping.
