Is it nice and sturdy with a heavy base to prevent tipping? Considering to hold a tablet as POS cash register and don't want it falling.

It is very sturdy. I have been using it in the kitchen for quite a while now and have never had an issue with it tipping over with normal pressure on the screen of my tablet. And that includes all orientations, it just stays where you put it.

We love it. We use it to hole our iPad and have absolutely no problems with it tipping over. I suppose if you hit it with a baseball bat it might tip over!!

Definitely sturdy, with weighted base. I think this would be perfect for creating a POS cash register!

Hey Chris....this unit is light and I would not consider the base heavy. If you are thinking of matching this up with a Square set-up drop the $99.00 and get the Square Stand with the built in card swiper. For me, this unit was too light and flimsy to be used long term for anything other than personal use. You also have to be careful moving it, like walking with it while the tablet is in the stand or it could slide right out. After 6 months of use the tabs start to snap off. I'd take a pass on this particular stand if I were in your shoes. Not setting up Square? Then, I would find a stand that utilizes corner tabs.

It seems quite study. I only use it for a kindle fire, but when tapping on the screen it does not tip over at all.

I would suggest buying a sandbag or two just for the precaution. It is a really nice stand but it is reasonably lightweight so it is a little prone to tipping (but most stands in this price range would be.)

It's extremely stable. It just sits on the desk and your Macbook Air or standard macbook just sits in it. It's heavy enough to not tip at all. No issues whatsoever with that. The silver color matches my Macbook Air perfectly too.

The stand is lightweight plastic, but stable. As long as you aren't applying too much pressure to the tablet you should be OK. I have primarily used this without the base to hold the iPad while videoing

It's very stable. The base is weighted. I use mine without a spool on the base, and it doesn't have any issue with tipping.

Nope it's pretty sturdy....it has gripper pads too so it holds the tablet pretty well

The base is fairly heavy but to ensure it does not tip in any way I have placed a small rock on it. The base does not have any holes in it to screw it to a table but I'm sure if you have a good drill and sharp bits you could do this yourself.

I agree that it's very sturdy. No tipping here and it gets moved around a lot.

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.

It is really heavy so as long as it is placed on a stable hard surface it should be quite stable. I am really pleased with it and ours does not seem tippy at all.

We haven't had any issues with it tipping over. The bottom has rubber on it and is wider than the top so it's very sturdy.

There is nothing to hold the top edge of a tablet locked into place. The tablet wobbles when poked as would happen when playing a game or typing. Possibly this would be not be significant with light touch.

The base is not SOLID in the sense of the bottom being heavy and filled with material. BUT, it is solid in the sense of it doesn't tip over easily, it stays put when you touch it, etc. I've got cats and even they haven't knocked it over. I'm enjoying my lamp, stylish and useful.

I wouldnt chance anything too expensive with this stand. I bought a used Ipad that I use only for gigs...so it can fall or get knocked over and its no big deal. You might want to invest in something a little more sturdy.

The 40" lazy susan weights about 80lbs by itself. I use it everyday for dinner. I have not had any problem with tipping. Just be mindful, that if you move it, not to lose the rubber tips on the bottom. I've had to order extra from Amazon since I lost one. Otherwise, it's a beautiful addition to my glass table I already have. My family loves it.

I have two of these shelves on carpet. My carpet isn't super thick but the base is very sturdy. The under-side of the base is the same as the top shelf so, If you look closely at the pic, you can see that there is a 3/4-1" lip which helps it lock onto my carpet. I have heavier items such as books on the bottom two shelves however, I wouldn't recommend placing heavy objects near the front corners of the upper shelves for fear of potential tipping. I have two kids running through my home and I've never had any issues with stability. I love these shelves and am considering buying two more for another room.. I have two of these shelves on carpet.

It really won't tip over. The only concern I would have is that it is narrow inside, and for larger people it may pose a problem getting in and out.
