Can this be used as stand-alone without appending to a toilet? Would like to use this on the opposite wall of the toilet but not sure if it's stable.

Probably! If you're unsure, screw it into the wall if there are no pipes involved. The toilet isn't holding it up. We experienced no paint smell that some people talk about. Looks really nice. Happy with this product.

It can be used as a stand-alone since it attaches to the wall. But keep in mind that it's very narrow (so it has very little storage space) because it's made to go over the toilet. I wouldn't purchase this piece for any other spot. I'd try for one with more cabinet space.

Yes, we never attached to the wall (for fear that we would touch piping) and it stands and is stable. We are happy with the quality overall. It does smell like paint in the beginning but now it's all good.

Yes, it is free standing and does NOT have to be anchored to the wall. I was able to put this into a corner with no issues.

I tried using one hand with it and it seems to stay in place if pressure is exerted straight down. In other words, it doesn't seem to tip, but I wasn't putting all my weight on it. Also, it is not fastened to the toilet so I can't say it may not slide at some time. Overall, it seems pretty secure, but I don't know for sure how he would do with it.

It comes with attachments to attach to a wall on each side. If you don't want to attach to the wall then it will not stand alone unless all ends are connected together. :)

Unfortunately, I cannot use on my elongated toilet. This item is not elongated although I ordered one, now have to return it. Company has not responded to my email and phone call. Seemed strong enough to support your needs.

I have mine on the left side of the toilet. I don't see why you couldn't mount it vertically but you would then have a vertical not a horizontal grab bat.

I don't think this will work other than standing alone on a surface. It is quite heavy, the supports are not threaded and I think it will fall if mounted on an extension. You might consider a different style. Hope this helps.

Sounds like you'd use nothing - if so, it will wibble a lot, not be stable. It does need to be anchored so it doesn't move back/forth

The directions indicate it is not designed to "Hang" on a wall. It would be extremely heavy. There are screws inserted into the top back to use to secure to a wall or fence. We have it in our green house up against a wall and just placed shims under the front to tilt it back slightly. I don't think it would fall forward without the shim, however.

Stand alone. It can not be used as a toilet seat. Can not be used on top of a toilet.

I've had no problem attaching it firmly to my own and other toilets. You'll need a little arm and wrist strength but it will stay securely.

Yes - this product is very sturdy and can stand easily on it's own. However if you are in an area of the country that has risk for earthquakes, you probably should mount it next to the wall and use a wall anchor (I believe that's code in CA). Be safe!

Hi! The product came with a cardboard attached to the back, so it can stand up. I think with a very good, sticky tape or hot glue gun, it can be attached to a wall. Another alternative will be to make small holes through the cardboard and use fishing lines. Hope I answered your question!

It's not a free standing unit. I tried both of my bikes on it and it toppled over. Couldn't even rest it against the wall. The only way to secure was screw into wall. My storage unit has metal walls & prevents us from attaching anything. My thought if I have to screw into wall I'd get a wall mount unit.

It can stand alone, but the back of the side shelves are not finished wood and would look different from the side. It is a very heavy unit and not easy to move. Hope this helps.

It can stand alone without using the included wall brace bracket. However, if you want it to stand by itself I would highly recommend you have a lot of heavy books/objects in the lower shelves to stabilize it. Mine is reasonably stable (but against the wall) and doesn't tip easily, but if I had pets/children running around the house I would only recommend it against the wall since it's quite tall and has a relatively narrow base. Hope that helps

My 3 yr old can use it by herself, but only with a step stool. The hump in the front prevents her from simply scooting or lifting herself onto the toilet without the step stool.
