Is it stable? Is there any chance it would tip over while in use? We're thinking about purchasing it for an elderly man.

I am 65, with spinal stenosis and degenerating hip & knee joints and I use it. I found that the body weight of the user stabilizes the unit, making the handles that need to be held during use, secure. The unit I had before was just the bottom portion (no handles) and you had to hold on to the back of a chair for stability....which ended up to be not too stable at all.

I love it, but I do not have to worry about tipping over. It is stable for me, but truth be told, I could tip it very easily. It is not very wide. And it is not very heavy. For someone elderly, you might want to get a bigger heavier model. Or, if you could attach this to a heavy base with 4 U bolts.

My 72 year old wife bought this product. Her evaluation is that it is very lightweight and good easily tip you over, especially if it is on a soft surface such as a padded rug. Otherwise she likes it and it strengthens upper and lower leg muscles.

It is pretty stable...my 12 yr old grandson gets on it and steps like crazy and he never tips it...you have to make sure when you get on it that your feet are centered though

My wife uses it and does not have a problem and it fits very well in the bedroom.. But true, if it was a little wider it would be better.

Yes, definitely! It is extremely sturdy and it would be difficult to tip over as well. An adult could sit on it with no problem.

It's very stable - this is a very heavy, solid stand. I can see how you'd be concerned from the picture but I've never had a problem with it.

My 3 yo son hangs from it and swings out the bottom and it does not tip...however if he goes over the top (putting his weight on top of the bar leaning forward) yes it will tip over. I hope this helps.

We gave it to my grandson about a month ago and he (3yrs old and big for his age) and his 1yr old brother have been in it and it showed no signs of tipping.We had a tough time putting it together but once it was together right it seems very sturdy.

The chair is pretty stable so just sliding around on it shouldn't cause it to tip over. If a child were to climb up the back or something like that, maybe then.

It is pretty stable. The base is not huge, so it could tip if struck somewhat heavily but the lamp stem and top are not heavy so it is not topheavy and probably would notInjure her. Several of our elderly relatives have one and find them very helpful. My wife uses one for needlework. Hope this helps.

No. It is very stable. My 97 year old Mother-in-Law loves it. First time she was able to walk up and down the street in many years.

No. Mine is free standing and loaded pretty heavy. Haven't had any problem with leaning or tipping over.

It really won't tip over. The only concern I would have is that it is narrow inside, and for larger people it may pose a problem getting in and out.

Mine is sturdy, does not wobble. Our household does not have anyone over 200lbs.

No. It's stable. I've had mine for over a year and it has never tipped over.

I'm not sure if it would tip over if they aren't able to walk yet. We've gotten two of them for grandsons but they were already walking. Good luck.

It's pretty sturdy if you install it properly. Granted, I'm not twisting and turning mine constantly but I'm not worried it's going to fall over.

It's very stable for me - female 130lbs. I've never felt like it would tip on me. Hope this helps.

It's stable. We load it up with heavy winter costs, and it doesn't tip, but the poles themselves are not solid- they're lightweight.

I'm not going to say it WON'T ever tip over, but our one-year-old grandson does fine with it, and it hasn't tipped. It's very sturdy and has a wide base...I'm not at all concerned.
