If you put this near a dance floor, how can you prevent it from accidentally being knocked over?

With the legs out all the way (braces parallel to the floor), it's very stable. What I try to do is to place the base of the stand so that two legs face the dance floor and one faces away, so that it presents a smaller profile and a leg isn't directly protruding in a manner that someone could trip on it. It will also help if you keep the load well balanced, hang heavier fixtures toward the inside, and turn the t-bar so that it isn't directly over any of the legs but more straddling them. Kind of hard to explain in text but I hope you get the point.

You set it up correctly by opening the base as wide as it will go. It is pretty sturdy if you do so.

This stand is physically bigger than a speaker stand and therefore has a much larger diameter base. I am not saying that it couldn't happen, but it would be pretty tough to knock it down with the base opened up all the way. By the way, what kind of parties are you DJ'ing?? :)

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

I doubt it would protect it unless it happened to land right on it's back. It is fairly slippery as well so the danger is there more than with other cases I have.

I keep it on a tile floor. I think there would be safety issues in putting it on carpet. It is small and could tip over.

I place it on a hard surface. I step on making sure my feet don't touch the floor

The best thing to do if you worry about floors, is buy some self-adhesive felt pads to attack to the bottoms of the chairs and table.I have a wooden floor and used the felt pads. Easy to move and leaves no damage.

I'm not sure what you're asking. You mean like if it falls over? I'm not sure....it's in my vintage trailer now, and I have it fixed so it won't fall. I can tell you it puts out a lot of heat for it's size, and is very pretty.

If you mean you will be sitting on the floor and you stick this between you and the wall, it would stay in place until you moved, but you can't attach it to the wall in any way. It would just fall over. Not sure I know what you mean.

no problem on a second floor of a residence..I would put some kind of rubber mat under it to help absorb any vibrations it may cause if the weight stack is dropped. As long as the equipment is used properly it won't cause damage..as far as it crashing through your ceiling and landing in the family room...I don't see it happening.

well its pretty sturdy, you have to really hit it hard to knock it over, but I don't think it comes with a tip-over feature, I just turned it on and laid it on the floor and it stayed on ...so I don't think so.

You could try to use double sided tape. But when it sweeps across the floor it might pop off.

You need something to hold it down otherwise it will tip over. If you move it indoors you could always lay something over the frame to keep it from moving such as cat litter bags etc

it's sturdy but I guess on a smooth floor it could be pushed or slid. try cups under the legs.

Wendy, I haven't had a problem with it. It can hold quite a bit of weight spread out over the surface. I haven't dropped it to the floor, but I have banged it around the countertop without any damage. I'd say, go for it.

If I remember correctly, the wheels had to go on after it was put together. Which would mean that you could leave them off. You might want to get some sort of rubber tip for each leg so the metal doesn't scratch the floor.

It depends on what you are doing with it and the surface it is on, but it would be noisy it you are knocking it over.

It would probably touch the floor but it will hold it. The bottom isn't really that far off the ground.
