I just received mine and noticed the base is not 100% secured tight. It still wobbles. Anyone one have the same problem?

Mine is wobbly too but I think it's built that way in order for it to spin smoothly. I don't think it's an issue when it's filled with cupcakes.

I used mine a couple times already and I love it. At first I thought it was wobbling but then I realized it wobbles just enough to rotate easily. I tried moving it briskly to see if cupcakes would fall but didn't.

I had the same problem after only the second use ... I ended up throwing it away. Very disappointing!

No my does not wobble. It is super strong and sturdy. I think you got a bad one. I love mine!!!!!!

I love mine. I've had it since feb of last year, it was wobbly at first but my husband used his own tools to re-tighten. And no more wobble. It has so many different settings and workout types. I'm never bored with it. It's very heavy/sturdy. I would recommend it.

I just received mine and noticed there is very slight rocking and the 4th leg is not touching the floor like the other 3 but not big enough gap to put a book under, thought maybe its a safety design feature but not sure. I may get a better idea once I start using it.

Have not noticed that. Maybe if pushed up on center from bottom?? But there was no wobble at all setting up or in use. I didn't get any movement from center at all. Was used on Berber carpet.

Mine vibrates also, I think when it was built it wasn't balanced. I still use it every chance I get. My grandkids love it. But it does shake a lot when it is working. I can't put anything on the tray because it falls to the floor. When this one dies, I will buy another one, probably not the same brand.

I had my husband put it together so I asked him. He says it's difficult to balance the longer piece in such a way as to make in conducive to threading (screwing) it together. It's wobbly and awkward, but doable. He says he just kept at it until it worked. We have purchased three because we like them so much - so it's worth the trouble. He said it seemed to be easier to do laying the base flat on the floor and holding the pole vertical.

I had the exact same issue. I put them together, with some struggle because of quality control, and one is wobbly as you described. The bolts are completely tight yet they still shake and rattle. In my opinion it is due to poor QC and design. This will be my one and only purchase from Gorilla Fitness.

Make sure you have the disk/flange underneath the base seated correctly. Once it is seated you should be able to tighten it up and it won't move any more. From time to time we have to tighten ours up after a month or two of play. Hope this helps.

I had the legs flipped the wrong way. You have to make sure they're set so the "long" and the "short" sections (from the screw that secures them in the leg) are on opposite sides to increase stability. Not sure if that's what's causing your wobble. But it was my initial issue when setting it up.

it was very wobbly for me but I fixed it by taking a drill to it and making it really tight. Now it doesn't wobble at all.

I got mine in mid-September 2014 and it seems like the lift mechanism is failing. The stool does not stay lifted to the full height, wobbles, and makes a sproingy/springy sound. I just contacted Vandue (the vendor) about repairing or replacing it. I may look into spending more in the hopes of getting something better. I will try to remember to update this based on the feedback I receive from Vandue. I will check to see if this is under any kind of warranty as well.

I think it should have some give. Did you try using it? Mine is a little wobbly but works well that is why I say it should have some give

Sounds like you have a defective one. We had to send one back too. They replaced it. It shouldn't wobble and those pegs should fit snug in the holes. If you've never returned anything to Amazon before, just click under your account and then orders. It's easy.

The equipment is not square so it wobbles when being used, especially when using the front of the tower. I.e. the dips and VKRs. I am smaller in weight so it's fine for me but my husband is 160lbs and its more unstable for him.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

SOLUTION - Yes, I had the exact same problem The solution is simple. Wrap a small rubber band around the bottom of the arm where it fits into the base. When you screw on the black threaded arm holder, the seal is nice and tight... so absolutely no wobble, but it still allows the lamp to rotate smoothly.

Had it not been for your question, I would have never known that it wobbled, and I've had mine for over a year. I guess all I can say is as long as you followed the directions and use logical and appropriate weight distribution methods, the wobble should not be a concern.
