would one of the bases allow it to be used to sit on the floor in a tent or is it likely to be unstable? (the base looks kinda small)

I would say yes. the fan is very lightweight, and the base actually has some weight to it due to the magnets that attach

The base to fan ratio is very misleading in the picture. The base is very large. I think for what you've described it would be unstable. The fan attaches to the bottom of the unit, and as you can see in the photo there are controls on the top that would prevent it from being stood up on an even surface. Hope this helps!

We never tried that but the magnets are so strong that I suppose you could put it anywhere you want in or on the tent. We always hung it from the ceiling with the magnet plate holding it firmly in place, so it seems you could do the same on the floor. It's very lightweight so it's also possible that the force of the fan could blow it over if it wasn't held in place by something. Also the unit in this photo shows the battery pack on the right. It is separate from the fan itself. They do not connect except by a wire. We also found that the batteries ran out after a few days of constant use at night for sleeping, so we invested in rechargeables so we could recharge during the day and have full power ever night. We love this fan!

It stands upright just fine, there is enough weight from 8-D batteries that it stays in place.

My grandson "camped" in the living room . so yes it can be used without being pegged into the ground.

Not very sturdy, in my opinion. It has no extra loops to hold the tent to the ground. The two expresso rods (in the front) are not stable. I would guess with a little wind it would move easily.

It's too light for rocky soil. It would most likely just bounce around on the surface. If it's very small rock, you'd be fine, but anything over 1.5" would pose a challenge.

Yes, we put the pins in the poles. For some reason, the floor seems to pull up. We are hoping that after a couple of uses, the tent may stretch enough to lay flat. Thanks

I often feel that the whole stand may fall over unless one is very careful to place a foot onto one of the legs. Of course, if one were to attach it to the floor the stand would be MUCH sturdier.

My opinion - I doubt it very much as it is basically 'a tent' . There is no weight at the bottom to hold it onto a surface, that is why it is staked. If and I mean if there is NO wind it might stay put for a time but once the wind starts I think it would take flight. Hope this helps.

you do not want to put it inside your tent, you put it under the tent. it works out fine doing this. it would not be good on the tent floor. it really works out great like this.i like to lay around and nap on it sometimes in the afternoon and it might get little mud on the feet. but it does not matter if you put it under the tent.this is the way to go,also it really makes finding a good camping spot easier since it can be a little rough under the cot.also another bennafit is i stopped bringing a ground cloth because this is easy on the tent floor and if it would leak a little it would not matter because the water is not going to run up into my sleeping area. So this saves a little space to compensate for what the cot takes up.

Its not gonna collapse. I would not put a hyper animal in only because their claws may tear the walls. Perfect for camping or a place for your pet to rest

I agree with exactly what the other people have responded. It lays flat depending on the ground. Highly recommend it! My daughter loves her tent.

It can be a hair wobbly, especially if your floor is not level. However, once it's loaded, it is pretty stable on it's own.

It will be unstable if sitting by itself. The base is kind of small compared to the rim and could easily tip over. We use it with the wall holder and it looks fabulous.

It appears sturdy but I haven't used it on a forest floor with twigs and small rocks. I haven't been camping in years, but I was taught to clear the floor before I pitched my tent. Are we prohibited from clearing our tent space? I plan to put a tarp "footprint" on the underneath side as insulation and to protect the floor of my tent.

No it needs to be anchored in the ground. It is to top heavy for that. The tent is beautiful set up.

I used it for a week straight, setting it up and taking it down every morning and evening. I had no problems with the tent floor, or the cot. Just double check the dimensions because the cot is quite large.

nope the legs are fold out and unadjustable on uneven ground you would have to move around soil or build up areas with wood or rocks perhaps you should try a hammock?

Hi, You could, but it would need to lean on something.. the base isn't super sturdy and it might get too heavy with tons of polish on it.
