Is this item "stand alone" or does it need to be screwed into or otherwise attached to the cabinet?

I do believe that it is designed for screw attachment. I'm assuming that if it were not fastened down, and then you moved the basket on the rails, the weight of the unit itself would probably be enough to cause it to tip forward. I don't think it was intended for stand alone use.

It comes flat packed and will need to be assembled. It wasn't difficult but you may want an assistant as the cabinet has some weight to it.

You screw it to the floor. I installed mine side by side in a wide cabinet, too. It will work.

We have ours attached to a vanity. Works just fine! You may want to add reinforcement inside the cabinet if you are concerned about weight.

It slides into the cabinet. My issue was my cabinet was to think and it would not fit. It can only be attached by sliding it can not be screwed in.

It's attached by screws. This video should help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLE5W9XePn4

The cabinet is fully assembled. You have to put in the shelves and pins yourself, but that's to be expected. the only thing you have to install is the safety wall anchor.

It is not a stand alone. Both the hinge side and the latch side are screwed into the doorway or railing as shown in the picture. You can always tell a standalone as there will be a rail on the floor that you have to step over.

Yes. This would be appropriate. I have placed it inside of a lower cabinet and no screws or installation was needed. Just place it and it is great!

Yes, it does need to be attached. It's just a single screw and simple to do.

We have ours fastened to the wall. I'm not sure that it can be used as a stand alone.

Small screws were used as it is attached to end kitchen cabinet. I know some folks have adhered it with glue also.

There is one wooden piece that serves as a hook. But this requires that you have a corresponding piece set up on the cupboard. Hope that helps.

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

When I got this, the package included the wall mount that this hooks to. Also included the screws to the "above" wood cabinet. Not understanding what kit is needed. do they have a product number aka SKU for this KIT?

If by stand alone you mean not attach to wall, then no, this is not that type of gate. The gate needs to be nailed/bolted to the wall. Will need special parts to attach it to a stair post.

It is a one piece stand alone unit. I happened to buy three of them as I needed lots of bookshelves....I have them in separate rooms, but could have put them next to one another too! They have different sizes and different configurations, look over the explanations on Amazon.
