Is it sturdy enough to use as a counter cabinet without attaching it to the wall?

The doors and sides are. However the back will push out if you shove things hard against the back panel.

Yes it's a very nice cabinet. We have it sitting in an alcove in our master bath. However we chose to anchor it to the wall even though it is unlikely to tip. It has a good solid base of good weight.

yes very sturdy but kinda of big for a countertop. on mine the dooe hinges are not lined up right. so when closed you can see one door is sligtly higer by 1/8 to 1/4 inch.

Good question - maybe? It's pretty heavy. I suppose if you have the right hardware to fix it to the wall it would work. The back of the shelf where it appears to be a "solid" backing, is just a heavier piece of cardboard though. So you'd have to attach it to the wall using the frame. I don't think that would be very sturdy -- especially once you actually put things *on* the shelf.

Since the back of the cabinet is thin board, I'd doubt it. The cabinet itself, top, bottom, and sides are very sturdy. It is a tall cabinet too. I'd suggest the base to make it stable.

The cabinet can be secured to the wall. When the doors are open you see the back of the wall. I am pretty happy with mine, fits perfect in my small bathroom.

Has anyone put this together WITHOUT the interior shelf? If so, how sturdy was it?

No. It's mounted to the wall by two sided tape only. If you drill it into the shower then it might be sturdy enough.

It's pretty sturdy on it's own. If you have kids or pets though, I'd attach it to the wall. Also, be careful with weight distribution. If you put the heaviest stuff on top, you'll make it easier to topple should it get bumped.

Sure, it can be put up against a regular wall. No problem. BTWm I've had it about a month now and it's just fine. If you don't "need" fancy furniture this is a very nice solution.

I actually never did screw it into the wall even though it does suggest it. Personally I've had it for nearly 2yrs now & I had no issues with it tipping over, etc... its pretty sturdy & i have a ton of DVDs packed in there as well as other electronic devices. Personally I dont think its necessary at all.

it would probably be sturdy enough if it was attached to studs in the wall, but personaly, i would not take the chance. cast iron is extremely heavy, and would cause a lot of damage if it fell. i have 2 cast iron skillets and they are the only pans i keep in my cabinet. hope this was helpful.

Shelves are very sturdy. The back panel is not. If the unit is to be placed against a wall, it will be fine. I have heavy books and wine bottles on my shelves with no problem. Unit looks like a piece that cost more than it really did.

I use mine to store household cleaning supplies, canned goods, napkins, and kitchen aid mixer attachments. I do not have mine attached to the wall, but it is between two walls. It is pretty sturdy and I feel it could hold more.

The instructions say not to, but The shelf is really sturdy once hung up, so I think it would be okay. We wanted it wall mounted, so didn't try.

Yes, very sturdy (make sure to build right). Agree it can handle the weight as long as you keep the heavier items closer to the drawers. Have had it for about 5 months and very happy with it.

It's pretty sturdy. I think I have 10 or 15 pounds at least on each shelf. I put the heaviest items on the bottom shelf. If you put a lot of weight on the shelves, I think it would be wise to install the wall anchor that came with your unit. I have not anchored mine, but the weight does not seem to cause the unit to be shaky or unbalanced. I think this unit is a good buy, especially at the price.
