Does the entertainment center need to be attached to the wall for stability?

The instructions state to do that. I did not do it with mine. Seems sturdy enough for me. Maybe if kids in house, I might have done that for their safety.

It does not! That was one of my initial concerns as well. It is perfectly stable just the way it is. I love it!!

I think it's supposed to but if you just push it back and lean it against the wall it will be just fine it naturally leans back any way there's no way mine is falling forward

I don't think so, it has suction cups on the bottom to attached to a solid surface. I don't think it would be stable without having a wall to secure it to.

Yes. We actually never attached it to the wall. Still works with no issues.

it is not attached to the wall, it just leans against it, but it is quite stable. I have it on hard wood, I actually think carpet would be a better surface to keep it in place.

The stand does not need to be attached to a wall or placed against a wall for support. My stand is inside an armoire. It is quite stable but then it remains secure inside the armoire. I would not place it on a table that could be bumped by accident. A sharp jolt could cause it to tip over as the weight of the TV makes it somewhat top heavy. Good luck.

Yes with proper anchors to the wall. It comes with spacers that keep the unit away from the wall. Metal spacers can also be made from standard hardware materials.

No. It is secured with a screw system. It is very stable. I have not had any concerns about.

It is designed to be attached to a wall. I would not put any significant weight on it if it were unattached.

Ours is not attached to the wall and seems pretty stable, has never tipped or moved... We love it, and the drilled holes are not visible.

Its a free standing piece of furniture. When they say it secures easy to wall I think they are assuming that it may be put on carpet which can be an uneven surface. If it seems uneven then you might want to secure it to wall so it doesn't fall over. My son has it on carpet and it doesn't need to be secured.

I too, love this stand and did not nail it to the wall and it manages to be sturdy enough to hold tv, video games, game conrollers, remotes, cable boxes without tipping over. I think nailing is optional.

It has to be attached to the frame, otherwise if you dont have the frame, you have to lean the frame on the wall for decoration purposes only. It still looks nice but its not stable. I dont know where you live, but I got my frame for $50 from RoomsToGo and thought it was a good deal because most stores were more expensive than that. Or you can find a used one on Craigslist. I hope that helps.

No not at all. The way it tilts up against the wall makes it secure. If it would make you feel better about anchoring it to the wall, you can always do it. I see no need to do it. Hope you enjoy it as much as my daughter does.

You don't need to secure it to a wall with screws. After the bottom section is put together place it on the wall to see if the shelves are aligned. If not make adjustments and continue with the top section.

It leans on the wall (it doesn't stick) so it shouldn't be a problem. The weight of the items you put on it will also help keep it stationary.

It is stable enough to stand securely without wall anchoring. However, if I lived in say California with earthquakes, I would wall mount.

Yes. As with some of the comments on it not being of quality, I found it to be fine. Anyone not taking time to secure it to the wall will not be happy.
