Anyone know how to get it from wobbling? I had it with two shelves but decided to add a third one and now it wobbles more then ever. I can't even get the screws to screw in all the way. The allen wrench they give just spins around in the grooves and goes nowhere, very frustrating. Makes me want to give this a one star just-based on that alone.

Loosen all the shelf screws and the cross braces screws and stand the shelf system in your desired location. Rock it gently to settle the legs and shelves in place and then tighten the shelf screws and finally the cross brace. This should solve the problem. Before starting this adjustment, check the allen wrench and screws to be sure nothing is stripped. Replace anything that is defective.

My guess is that is has to do with this not being a fine piece of furniture. And your assembly technique. Loosen the screws that hold the shelves, as well as the bracing. When things are still together, but you can move them around a little, put it where it needs to go. Like the kitchen. Now that it is on your level, or maybe not, surface, tighten everything back together. This should, in theory, adjust for your maybe not level floor, or the minor differences in length of the wood. I know my floor is really bad, and this helped.

I had the legs flipped the wrong way. You have to make sure they're set so the "long" and the "short" sections (from the screw that secures them in the leg) are on opposite sides to increase stability. Not sure if that's what's causing your wobble. But it was my initial issue when setting it up.

Initially, there was a little stiffness but there is no release that I am aware of. My shelf moves smoothly and is very sturdy. Try sliding the shelf backward. (It is very easy to get confused when attaching the slides to the edges of the shelf. When marking the drill holes on the desk, the slides should be in the closed position. The end-caps on the innermost slides should be facing front. In use, the slides extend the shelf in one direction only.) If the shelf moves backward -- or the end-caps are in the back -- you have the slides reversed. If you decide to just turn the whole unit around, you'll be resting your palms on the sharp edge of the shelf. You'll have to actually trade the slides to make sure the front of the shelf (with rounded edges) is facing you. If none of the above explains your problem, then I have one other suggestion. It is extremely important to be careful about marking and pre-drilling the screw holes. (Both mark and MEASURE before drilling.) If the L brackets are not perfectly perpendicular to the desktop and parallel (and equidistant) with each other, torque may prevent the glides from sliding in their channels. Good luck.

Neither shelf is moveable or adjustable once you put it together. Perhaps just not attach that shelf when you put it together?

I had the same issue. Eventually the assembly fell apart and I ended up returning it. Sorry couldn't say anything positive here!

This stand is very sturdy, stability isn't an issue, in fact the heavier the keyboard the more stable it should be. I haven't noticed any shaking and I do usually pound away (I'm more concerned with the keyboard being able to take it) but since you asked, I can get the stand to wobble left and right a bit if I push and deliberately try to get it to sway laterally but it has absolutely no movement up and down or front to back no matter how much force I use. It takes deliberate effort to make it move sideways, not something you would normally do, you could beat this stand with a sledgehammer and it wouldn't shake, I don't think you should have any concerns.

Yes these wobble like mad, and it's very easy to break the bolt securing the yolk to the pedestal when moving it if you're not careful. The motor is pretty strong so if your floor is the least bit uneven the fan will wobble. It may also be the pedestal itself is slightly asymmetrical. Try stuffing a matchbook or folded up piece of paper under an edge like you would a wobbly coffee table. As to the tilting issue, try tightening the thumb screws more securely or buy new nuts/washers to go behind them.

Sorry it took so long to respond. This stand is very flimsy and requires extensive time to position it just right so it does not tilt over an fall sideways. I finally propped it against a wall and used a rubber mat to keep it from slipping. But once you get it to stand still, you really shouldn't move it otherwise you'll spend alot of time resetting it so it doesn't fall again. It works now and I saved alot of money since other stands were 2-3 times more but still on the fence on whether this was worth it given the extra time I had to put in to make it work.

Mine is also wobbly! I am having problems with it; am sure I put it together correctly but it is not very sturdy. Has anyone else found this and what did you do?

Try this:- Remove the table top by unscrewing the four bolts under the top. - Put two washers under the two outside bolts (farthest away from the pedestal)- Re-attach the top tightening it just enough to see if it is level. If it is level, tighten it completely- If it is not level, add more washers until it is level. Hope it works. I bought this table and sent it back because it had no manual, instructions, casters and my table top had a rise in the middle and dishes would wobble on it.How is your table?

I have only had my stool for a few short months but on occasion I have noticed from moving it around the screw in rubber "stablizers" come loose and I need to screw them back in to stop the wobbles. If it is the actual stool, verses the stablizers try putting a peice of a toothpick inside the joint, this will require taking it apart and putting it back together. Wobbling is not good for a stool espeically if you have an elderly person using it in the shower. Check the warranty.

Some are saying yes, others are saying no. Why no? If it is placed horizontally would the shelves still stay in place? THanks in advance. I am considering ordering two, one for an upright vertical bookshelf as pictured and another to go as a long bookshelf/console table in the same room.

From what I remember when I put mine together, I did screw them in place. I had turned the unit upside down, then I had to hold the shelf up against the stops and I used my power drill to set the screws into the shelf. Once the first screw went in, the others were fairly easy. It might be easier with a helper! Hope this helps.

Hi. First of all I think I had the lamp shade upside down. The light bulb was showing. My husband turned the lamp shade over and the light bulb doesn 't shoe but now the lampshade wobbles. I have to take time to figure it out. I love the lamp but it 's just not right

Hi I'm sorry I no longer have the product - moved and it wasn't worth bringing. Not sure if this helps but it is flimsy and if you have toddlers the shelves do not require a lot of strength to wobble.

If you have the tech know how, probably. It comes with the screw in feet that help prevent floor damage, but for some reason ours has no developed a wobble. Idk why and we can't seem to adjust the feet to correct it. I'm still working on it tho. It may just be our floors are weird in the space it moved to a couple months ago.

this happened to me too--and it's absolutely ridiculous. How hard is it to supply screws that won't split the wood? I'm thinking about just dumping it out, or giving it to someone who has smaller screws.
