strong enough to stand alone

Yes, it is strong enough to stand alone. I have mine standing alone. It comes unfinished in pine, but that was satisfactory for my location and doesn't affect the usability of the rack.

I have found it to be a very "functional" way to store good wines compactly. I keep mine in a closet when it is slightly cooler than the remainder of the house. I stress "functional" because it is made (nicely) of soft pine and not finished (no paint, stain, varnish) and does not really stand alone as a piece of decorative quality furniture except perhaps in a casual or rustic rustic room. It is probably more suitable for painting than staining. However, it is much nice than some of the things my wife and I called furniture in our post college days long long ago. I hope that helps . . . salud y amor y tiempo para disfrutarlo! I have found it to be a very "functional" way to store good wines compactly.

Absolutely. This piece is very well put together. You will be surprised at how incredibly stable it is once you put it together (which is easier done on the floor or on a table). I purchased a second unit and actually put one on top of the other while I reorganized the basement. Still no problem and no fear of collapse. I'm sure it would support a small appliance like a microwave without a problem.

Yes, very strong. Comes unfinished and requires some assembly. Very happy with the product. Oh, also will not hold large diameter bottles such as champagne wine bottles.

As long as you stand it as show in the photo (in a W shape, not straight) it stands fine on its own. I haven't had any issues with mine.

We have ours fastened to the wall. I'm not sure that it can be used as a stand alone.

Absolutely, strong enough. My kid was stronger than any kid I have ever seen and he couldn't knock it down.

This bucket can definitely stand on its own even when half full. I don't know how well it would stand up to washing clothes though, but the sides seem sturdy enough to handle a small amount of disturbance.

Plenty strong. I put it on the inside of my bumper for a few months without the key, just to make sure it would stay before possibly losing it and the key. I just bought another one for my other vehicle! Works very well.

Yeah it's pretty strong. I use all kinds of different ones. It's a sturdy stand.

I think it is strong enough - haven't used it that way, but I put it in the writing position and tried it. You can also adjust the angle.

sold as single . though this steel powder coated stand is heavy , and could hold anything weight wise you need . it's also very sturdy . i bought three of these for my dad's , brother's , and my home theaters . we use different brand center channel speakers , 45# to 68# .

It will stand by itself but could easily be knocked over if it weren't against a wall.

Yes, it can stand alone, in fact I use the larger piece to block the stairs for my grandson, and 2 pieces as an L as you mentioned to block another area near the grill..works great! Best, Ellen

It is very strong and sturdy. There was no problem of it tipping or being unstable.

It's strong enough to tie smaller branches to a larger one but probably nothing too heavy.

It's very strong but you do have to have some strength or help to put it up. Should work well.

The stand would be strong enought to support the weight but it is somewhat narrow so ensure it would not be next to an opening/hallway where someone might accidentally run into it and knock it off.

It stands fine on its own. I haven't had any problems so far and I'm not expecting any problems soon.

I say it is strong enough. But, since you're a bit worried. You are better off reinforce it use some packaging tapes.
