Can the basket part be placed on a table on it's own without suspension? Does it stand on it's own? I want to use as a table centerpiece.

Hi, i have two of this, and they can't be placed on a table, they have to be suspended.

No it does not stand alone. I used then as centerpieces for my son's Christening and we used stands they looked amazing!

Sorry, not enough time to write more, but no, it cannot be placed on the table on it's own suspension.

While the basket comes attached, I suppose you could detach the basket and use it as a separate decoration. Although honestly, this balloon is so gorgeous I'm not sure you'd want I after seeing it!

No. The table is Permanently affixed to the stand. The only way to move it is on its wheels.

It does stand up on its own. It would be perfect for plants. In the original picture it showed the whole picnic table. The price listed was for half. The two pieces go together to make the picnic table. I paid. More than this so it is a good price.

No rigid base. But you don't need a basket, either. It forms itself and as long as it's tied down securely it's google to go. Cross bars are necessary.

Yes you can put it on a table but it's better hanging up high since no one will block it if you stand I front of it.

The manual says not to dunk on it. The backboard isn't actually attached to the glass, it's on a separate piece, so I think dunking would be ok. You def don't want to hang on the rim, however

No it's really hanging there. If you took it off, the sides would fall down and there would be no basket. Hope that helps.

It would will stand on it's own, but it would not be very sturdy, I would suggest putting a base under it, like a piece of plywood to hold is apart and also more steady, you may still have some problems if someone bumps into it.

It's recommended that you do. However I never have but my son doesn't dunk it and just shoots it. He doesn't try to climb or hang on it. It stands good on its own though.

I was very disappointed with basket. First time I used it, it broke! I purchased a much sturdy one, I just love it!!!

Yes. The basket broke on ours right away but there was no problem returning it. It was replaced by one that is still working great. The company rep was great and replacement was fast. All else has worked fine on it and seems to be holding up quite well for a 6 foot 165 pound woman.

I am not home right now to measure and make sure but I would say that you would be alright placing a 12" basket in this stand. I don't think anything larger than that would sit level and not tip over? I have a big sphere sitting in mine and I think it's 10" in diameter and there's a little room around the sides of it. The sphere does rest on the bottom shelf or brace so it's more stable. I hope this helps you!

I use it as a dining table for extra guests and it works perfectly. My son is using a square one as his desk/music station and it's done well there as well. I wouldn't stand on it but as a table, it's fine. Doesn't wobble.

I have to use 2 hands to fold it, but it folds up very easily. Yes, it stands up on its own. I think the basket is very sturdy.

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.

It can stand alone without using the included wall brace bracket. However, if you want it to stand by itself I would highly recommend you have a lot of heavy books/objects in the lower shelves to stabilize it. Mine is reasonably stable (but against the wall) and doesn't tip easily, but if I had pets/children running around the house I would only recommend it against the wall since it's quite tall and has a relatively narrow base. Hope that helps

yes, baskets can be used but they can't be wide or tall. I have my teapot on it and I sometimes use a plate and put my fruit on it. You gave me a good idea about the baskets, I think I will use them, too.
