How stable does this unit seem? Do you think it needs to be attached to the wall? Are the pre-drilled holes noticeable?

Its very stable I don't have mine attached to the actual wall. It is against a wall I use it for bottles and varies wine/spirits glasses for display. It's about a year since I purchased this item and have not experienced any problems at all. I don't regret this purchase, I do recommend it to other its easy to assemble and perfect shelve unit for any usage.

The unit is quite stable (on hardwood). Fairly easy to construct with 2 people. We did not attach the unit to the wall since it was so stable. The bracket was included though in case you need it. Great unit for the low price.

Yes, on my unit, predrilled holes were noticeable. I'd prefer to have mine secured to the wall but it isn't at the moment. I've had my unit up and assembled in my space for a few months now and nothing has ever happened. It does shake a little if it's rattled or bumped. It seems like it'll tip any minute but it doesn't. I only have a few books, some non-breakable kicknacks and my printer on it.

I am using the unit for books and I have ALOT of books on it. It is very stable. It does have hole to place screws in and anchor it to the wall. The screws do not come with the unit. I plan on getting the screws to make it even more secure. The predrilled holes are also not very noticeable. Overall, I really like the unit. You can get the unit a lot cheaper from IKEA thou. I got it from amazon because I do not live anywhere close to an ikea and it's cheaper through amazon( because shipping costs from ikea are crazy ).

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.

Very stable. Each of the bottom legs has an adjustable foot piece for leveling purposes. I have it on tile and I didn't need to drill it into the wall to keep it stable. The holes aren't very noticeable, they are small and are at the top part of the back vertical beams. I have tan walls and I hardly notice them.

Yep, it's sturdy! It's all in the mounting, though, just make sure you're mounting it at a good place in your wall and that the screws are tight and properly done.

Dear friend,I did not secure it to the wall. It stands there stably. You are able to put something such as small piece of thin wood or sth. else underneath its front lower cornerpoints in order to make sure it is stable.

The feet on mine are permanently attached. It seems as if they have been welded on. This may be because of past reviews stating that it was unstable. It would be great to mount on the wall though if the feet can be removed. Hope this helps.

Yes. The unit comes with anchors. My unit isn't attached to any studs. Now, if you have a LOT of heavy objects that you will be hanging, you might want to put it in a stud. The closest screw holes are 17 inches apart and the farthest are 22 inches apart. I hope this is helpful!

Bolting it to the wall would make it more secure but I do not believe secure enough to do what you want. Mine in a place where I do not bump into it and thus far it has been fine.

Mine is installed using only drywall anchors (100 lb), but I have my TV mounted to the wall above the unit, not standing on the unit. So the anchors only have to hold up the unit itself, and the devices I put on it. No issues so far.

Yes! Very unstable. And yes I did use all of the supplied screws. Haven't done anything to correct issue. I just relocated it to a different room and pray that no one runs into it.

Yes, the unit comes with screws and expansion anchors (for drywall) which require 4 holes drilled.

on level floor flat against the wall attached to studs- not off the floor- works for me. screw inserted two holes each shelf that obvious to stableize

I would check with a professional carpenter if you have or will be putting in a wall unit. It's a different project from what I took on as a DIY.

The model I bought had pre-drilled holes, though not great ones. I remember them being hard to get to. I will look at it later today or tomorrow and try to send a better answer if others have not already addressed this question.

It recommends attaching to the wall, and I think it even came with the hardware enclosed. It's a heavy piece and I wouldn't trust it not to topple over.

Assembly is required but it is simple. Once it is assembled it simply leans on the wall. It is secure and I have had no problems with it.

I was prepared to secure the unit to the wall but never got around to it. I have been using it for several months with it just standing on the floor in the corner of the bathroom and have had no problems.

You will need to drill small holes and use screws and/or wall anchors to mount each end in a solid backed wall a less solid wall may not be secure enough to hold and could cause damage from not holding up. Otherwise the the rest of the unit lies flat will not damage wall (except for the small drill holes)
