Is it sturdy enough on hardwood flooring not to be wall mounted?

I have it on hardwood and it seems stable enough. The bottom is wider than the top. However, if I had small children, I would probably mount it anyway.

With sufficient under bracing it could be wall mounted, but the base is wider than the top so it would look odd. Furthermore the backing is cardboard so you could not support the weight filled with a direct application to wall. This is really a floor shelf.

I have mine secured for safety as I have large pets that knock everything over. Mine is also on Carpet but if no kids or pets I would feel secure with it just sitting level on the floor. Hope that helps

Yes, as long as your floor is fairly level you should have no problems. The base of the shelf is the widest point of the unit, making a free standing system possible.

I've got it setting on hardwood, myself, and haven't had a single problem. The base is wide enough that it shouldn't be a problem!

I'm not sure.I have mine sitting on 2 metal file cabinets, not mounted to a wall. My office, so not much foot trafic or kids coming and going around it.Item it self is pretty sturdy.

Because it is a rather tall unit, mounting is helpful. Actually, placing two very small wedge under the front two corners would allow it to very slightly lean back so that it would be less likely to fall forward, assuming you are placing it against a wall.

yes , seems very sturdy. and you could use it inside . i would apply more non slip pads on bottom if you have slick [slippery ] floors inside.

You can install it on any surface you like, but if mounting on wallboard/sheetrock you'd better screw it into the wood studs. If you just use anchors in the sheetrock don't expect it to support much weight.

If it's on wood floor, yes it's sturdy enough. If it's on rug, not stable enough.

It has a sturdy backboard that matches the finish of the desk, but I put mine against a wall anyway because you can tell the backboard is not hardwood. Once assembled, it is a very nice piece of furniture.

Yes. Even though I own my house I have it against the wall on carpet and not anchored. Very sturdy!

Yes, it is sturdy enough. However, I would be concerned about putting any electrical heating appliance such as a toaster oven on a wood surface. Toaster ovens can overheat.

Yes it is. Unfortunately, not hardwood floor safe. I think I need to get another one since the dog broke the first one.

It's got a fairly long base and the weigh is balanced pretty evenly throughout l. As such, I believe that it would be stable on carpet (mine's in hardwood so I can't be sure). That said, I recommend heading to your local hardware store and getting one of their heavy weight anchor systems to affix it to a wall stud (particularly if it's being used in a child's room).

I would not recommend using it unless mounting it on the wall. It is not sturdy enough with a wide enough base to stand on the floor and be used. When wall mounted it works wonderfully and I am very happy with my purchase.

I have it on the wall, but it has legs and would work well on a surface. Not sure I like the looks of the legs on the wall. Very sturdy. Wish shelf bars were closer together. Small things fall over.

no. it is pressboard with veneer. Quality is better than average for that type of product, but definitely not hardwood.

I did not need to mount to wall for support. It contains pictures, numerous pottery and ceramic items, bottom shelf...books. It did lean a little bit back (I have hardwood floors) but I used extra floor protectors to make shelves a little more level. Hope this helps.

It is obviously not as stable as a secured bar (ie to wall) but I have had no stability issues using it on hardwood, ceramic tile or carpet. As long as you have positioned the legs properly and tightened the height adjuster and leg adjusters, it works perfectly fine on any surface.

I have wood floors so I wouldn't know, but I think it comes with a wall anchor if you need it. Doubt it would.

This item it is not designed to be hung on the wall. If it was made of real wood I would think you could mount it using shelf brackets, but the material is compression board and i don't believe it would support any type of weight when suspended. It does however work very well on the floor. I have 3 of the cloth bins in my shelf for my sons toys. I hope this helps.

No. It is a wall mount rack. I am sure you can find one that has feet for the floor.
