Is the base heavy to prevent tipping over? I could see this being top heavy and tipping over easy due to some knives have really heavy handles.

Yes. I have fairly hefty knives with large wooden handles and it has never topped over. Could be because it is well balanced.

Yes, it is also wider at the bottom than at the top to prevent tipping. I have ten knives in it and it never tips when I pull one out. I love this item.

It weighs a tad over a pound. But if you have trouble gripping knives this would be ideal. You don't have to keep lifting it, just rock it over what you are chopping. Sharp and effective.

Hi, Scott. It's a very lightweight table, so unless there is an umbrella with a heavy base in the middle, I think it would easily tip over. However, I think it's pretty durable to wear and tear, despite being light. Does this help?

We have a heavy knife on it (hub worked in restaurants) and it hasn't fallen off.

It's certainly not a lightweight, but its weight has never bothered me. And you can be sure that's a tough knife that isn't going to break on you!

We have not had any tipping problems, even just holding onto one side. But, if you put all of your weight on one side, then like anything else lightweight it could tip. Overall it is sturdy and stays put on our carpeted floor, has not tipped over for us and it really does help.

Yes to both questions. The goose neck is very strong/sturdy and the base is weighted so there is no risk of it tipping over.

HI - Mine has never tipped over. The base is solid and holds it in place. My elderly friend loves this, and can move it around to do her jewelry making again.I highly recommend it.

We keep ours down unless we r serving. When it's up and someone leans on it I wouldn't trust it. If it's not leaned on then it's fine. It's held by a swivel piece of wood. Beautiful island.

It has a fairly heavy base however if coats are pulled on there's a very good chance it would tip over.

I haven't had any trouble with it tipping over, but I tried it myself and it did continue to run. That's obviously a safety concern that should be addressed.

Yes two the base is wide so it keeps it from tipping over. Use it all the time

It is surprisingly sturdy and balanced, if it is an ink jet it might wobble when it is printing. It wouldn't fall over. I have a 3 year old visitor that uses it as a personal table and she hasn't had any issues with tipping. the base is really solid. I put a round placemat on it and if you put a printer on it, you might want to put one on it too.

i use this and i would say that it is not too heavy...i have quite a few utensils. this seems to be very sturdy

Correct. This is a very heavy and sturdy set. No worries about tipping it over. The top handle inserts down into the center and you can see the top rim sets flat against the opposing glass (cake stand).

I only had an issue with it tipping over if I was hanging a heavy carry on bag off the extendable handle. Otherwise it was quite stable.

well its pretty sturdy, you have to really hit it hard to knock it over, but I don't think it comes with a tip-over feature, I just turned it on and laid it on the floor and it stayed on ...so I don't think so.
