How do I keep it from getting knocked over? The upright tube doesn't screw into anything, just sits on the base.

You must be missing the bolt that screws the tee to the base. I'd contact Amazon and let them know you're missing the bottom bolt and screw.

It'l is supposed to screw in to the base. If it does not, yours is defective. I would exchange it.

I try to make it as smooth and flat as possible before feeding it through. I also try not to get it too close to the edge or it folds over. Maybe hold the end a little to keep the tension tight.?

It's very unstable. It certainly will stand upright and stay that way if you don't do anything to it, but compared to a standard upright with a wider base it falls over very easily.

I have gotten in and tried to tip it over and found it very difficult. This thing is built like a tank. I have recently purchased a second so I have one for each of my littles.

I put mine on a free floated tube by drilling hole in tube and mounting it, and it works fine. that is the best I can do for you. sorry, and good luck

The clamp on the bottom should be preventing this. Make sure it's locked and tight enough (but not too tight -- it snapped on me and made the stand practically useless).

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

Sorry you're having trouble. I hope this helps: the little tabs on the bottom of each leg unscrew so it has stability... Maybe adjusting the tabs so it's completely stable will prevent it from tipping over? I personally do just fine shavings legs, but I've made mine very level

The part where the laptop sits has a tube attached. This tube slips into the base tube. The tightener mechanism has probably slipped to cover the bottom tube opening. You can pull it back where it should be with you finger so it looks like an open tube. You may have to loosen the screw that presses the tightening piece against the inner tube to keep it from slipping down once you have set the height. Once together, set at the height you want and tighten that screw.

I actually leave mine up all the time except when accessing the plastic tubes. You may wish to contact Royal Sovereign for a replacement.

No, nothing to keep it upright. Furthermore, it is very hard to install properly. From my point of view this is a totally useless object. Maybe others could find it useful but I really don't. Sorry for my poor English since I'm french speaking but I hope I make my point.

I had a similar problem...I would suggest making sure your not fighting gravity. Other wise then that send the damn thing back

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power.. I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guess the two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

Hi! The tension should keep it up. Othwerwise, the astronauts need to perform some in space repairs (perhaps a tiny clothespin or paperclip might help?) ! How frustrating to have it keep falling!

Mine fell a few times also. Make sure both surface and suction cup are super clean and dry. If that still doesn't work - maybe you're overloading it? I found that was my problem. It doesn't hold as much weight as I'd like.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

Make sur you push it down. It should kind of click. Once in, it's pretty secure. If not, something might be off.
