Are the wall and base strong? I am thinking about buying 4 of these, inverting them, and using them to lift my desk, to convert it to a standing desk.

These are very strong for floral use. I would not suggest using them to lift a desk, as they do not seem like they they are suited to support that much weight.

Yes it is! It even comes with an awesome template, just make sure you use heavy duty wall anchors to handle the weight and vibration from the base. Home Depot sells 100lb ones

Sure, the base is pretty sturdy- but you'll have to find the hardware yourself (i.e. screws, mounting bracket, etc), there's nothing built-in, like a pole-top mount or anything.

The foot base comes forward several inches to keep it from doing or. Using the mounting bold and drilling a hole through the bottom of your desk would probably provide the same support. I just have the foot stand and it is very stable with 3 24" Asus lcd monitors (older, heavy style).

It holds lots and lots of weight. I used it to stack my moving boxes on: 3-4 boxes high and covered from one end to the other. Using it as a desk should be no problem at all.

I guess anything is possible, you would heed a stable base. I think you would be better off though buying a dedicated pull up tower.

The screws that came with it were strong enough to use it on a laundry room wall. Hope this helps!

I agree with others. The sides and backs have a slip in feature to hold them but that high being so lightI doubt they would be stable. Mine are two high like the picture on my desk and are just fine.

I would not attempt to stack them, as there is a small lip on the top and bottom of the shelves, it seems to me that it would be wobbly. Also, I live in Ca, earthquakes are not uncommon and if the unit is standing on carpet that is going to make it less evenly supported. If it was bracketed to the wall perhaps but the backing is nothing to write home about, so I don't see it as a great anchoring force. Hope that helps :-)

If installing in drywall don't use anchors that come with unit buy heavy duty ones at home depot. Also the unit has two predrilled holes I suggest putting another on in. Only costs a couple $$$ and you won't have to worry about the weight on the wall. As far as how much can it hold when desk is out... you can't sit on it ;). But it holds the weight of a laptop books and your arms fine.

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.

I think the racks it's strong enough, size would be perfact too; but however there is only one screw for each piece to be mounted on wall, guess you need to check the strongness for the type of wall you got and what method you are planning to mount the racks.

I wish I could answer this question honestly. I have had this desk for over 2 years and it still is as sturdy as the day I bought it. I have 2 monitors and a printer on the desk, and periodically have been known to lean on the desk. It really is a well built desk, glad I purchased it.

The boom arm itself is strong however if you have the boom arm at certain angles the base isn't heavy enough to counter the weight. For instance I hang my kick drum mic on mine and the weight of itself alone is to heavy for the stand unless i position the base under the drum itself. For a desk top setting where the mic is upright you would be good to go.

I purchased these for the front desks of the buildings I manage. They seem to be sturdy and the base is pretty heavy so they don't tip easily. Not sure what the weight capacity is but we have different sized adults all using them and they seem to be fine. Hope this helps!

The brackets themselves are plenty strong. It's going to depend on your fasteners. If you can drive all your screws into solid wood like a good mirror frame and wall joists, I think these would be plenty strong. If you can't screw directly into joists, or you just want to make absolutely sure nothing is going to move, just use 1-2 additional brackets on your items. Oh, and feel free to use longer screws if you want. (I did all of the above when I hung a heavy picture.)

Hi, I'm a fellow customer and own this floating desk. Unfortunately I have since discarded my instruction/packing sheets with any specification of this product. What I can tell you is that it is pretty heavy but not enough to prevent me from installing this on my own in a safe manner (40 year old man fairly average weight and height). I have two of them and installed both of them on my own. I'm very satisfied with the desks.
