I have done pull ups and have not tipped over. This of course is going to be predicated by proper assembly. One side has the cross bar bolt holes set further back. I'm sure if you assembled it backwards and tried to pull up on it then yes it would be more unstable.

I have it on a carpeted floor in a corner. It is not top heavy. No problems with it wanting to tip over.

It will hold it but it tips over all the time. The legs cant support the weight. I bought this then took awhile to put it together. I didnt come with any of the hardware to put it together so i had to but it. Spend more for the heavier ones

I am currently using a light and umbrella combination that weigh's 20lbs and its solid!! Best investment for saving space in a studio. I anchored it into the drywall and unless an adult hangs from the armature ita not going anywhere.

I have had this for a few months. And I am way overweight. It has not fallen flat. I bought 2 different ones and this is the one that did not squish. It will raise you up a couple of inches so make sure you have room for that under your desk.

I do not know what the recommended weight limit is for the bar. My husband is around 170 pounds and tested it before we let our daughter on it. We braced ours by putting a heavy gymnastics mat underneath. Something will need to be used to weight the bar down to prevent tipping over. It is a great product and would recommend for up and coming gymnasts.

I use mine for outdoor events as a sale rack. I wrap one of my canopy weight bags around the pole above the tripod and I have not had problems with it tipping over since then. For extra insurance I can also wrap it around the canopy leg!

Get the Elite version of this bar--it comes with a crossbar that keeps the pull-up bar stable. If u have that version but want to stabilize it more, use a couple 40+ lb dumb bells on the bottom bars to weigh it down. Works great for me and I'm a 220 pound 6'2" dude.

This was a concern of mine, too. I'd say it's pretty stable, but can be pulled over if they put all of their weight into it. I bought this table for my daughter right around the pulling up stage, and she toppled it maybe a couple of times. For the most part, it's fine. And even when she did pull it over, it's low enough to the ground that she didn't fall very hard. Unless you have a little daredevil, it would probably be fine.

Use a 50 lb base. I have a 30 lb base with a bistro table and it will go over on a gusty day even when not open. You should also get a base with the longer tube for freestanding use otherwise it won't have enough support.

It will tip over unless you tape the sides with masking tape and remove them when you arrive to your party. The container is not that big, it's enough to fill about 10 glasses 1/2 way so if you have more guests I suggest you buy a bag of ice, keep in freezer and fill as it gets empty, unless there's an ice maker at the party that you can use to refill.

This is designed for adults, i.e. for weights around 200lbs. I suspect a toddler would be too light. In addition a toddler may want to hang from the stabilizer bar which could tip the whole thing over.

Well, I use the barre that way. However, I use 10# sandbags on the base for weight as it will tip if it's not weighted. Otherwise, it is quite sturdy and well made, and I like it a lot. Mine stays up all the time, but it is easy to store under a bed if you don't have the room.

I weigh in at 285 and roll around all night. No problems. The only way it could fold up is if you pull up an end rod.

You don't. :) The tent is heavy enough that it will keep itself weighted down when no one is in it. I've had some pretty strong winds and it didn't move as opposed to a standard tent where you would need to. If you wanted to, you can add sandbag weights to put over the legs, but I don't think it's necessary.

Have used this bag for about 18 months. Use it everyday between home and office and to travel very frequently. Have never had an issue with tipping using this bag. It is very stable.
