Is the shelf stableon its own or does it need wall anchors?

It's pretty solid. I am happy with it. Doesn't move at my place. But then again I have some pretty heavy stuff on it.

Hi -- I have this and it is stable on its own however if you have children I'd recommend attaching to wall for safety.

I did not anchor the corner shelf unit and have had no problems with it at all. It is a very well made piece of furniture. However, I have no idea how it would handle an earthquake. :-)

Hi, it is stable on its own but a couple of books at the bottom are the heaviest things on it.

Hello, it probably can stand freely without leaning against the wall, but you would probably want the extra support if you plan to put things on the shelves.

the shelves seem to be fairly sturdy, however you definitely have to anchor unit to wall, it is a little topheavy.

The shelves connect at the back of the shelves in 2 points with provided hardware and in front with wooden plugs and wood glue. The shelves are surprisingly stable. I've put a great deal of book weight on the shelves. The unit can also be anchored to the wall with included hardware.

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.

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 ).

It comes with 3 plastic wall anchors & screws. I used my own anchors so I can't vouch for them. They look like standard plastic ones.

Yes it includes a wall anchor. Requires a hole be drilled in the wall. However if you didn't want to do that, I'm sure you could rig something up. It's light weight & you probably could use adhesive strips.

It is a fairly heavy unit empty; more so when filled with paper. You could probably put it on a secure shelf, but I don't believe there was hardware to attach it to the wall itself.

There's no anchoring screw, but mine stays right in the wall...no problem at all with it falling out.

It comes with standard hollow-wall anchors (the plastic sleeve type that don't work so well). We used aftermarket wall anchors. The tricky part is finding wall anchors that have screws that fit in the standoffs. Not impossible but takes some work.

The mounting hardware comes with it. I did use my own screws to attach it to the wall.

I mounted mine on a hallow dry wall. If i remember correctly it comes with several types of anchors for different types of walls.

Yes it does. with screws needed to attach to the wall. But if you are to attach it to a wall without it being anchored in a wall stud, then you will need to buy the wall anchors that go in dry wall and they expand behind the dry wall when the screw is screwed in the anchor. I bought anchors that hold 50+ lbs or higher to allow for the extra for the things that are going be placed on the shelves. Good luck

The bookshelf is self - supported and can stand alone without a wall. Additionally, there are a lot of pieces with unclear instructions.

It comes with anchors but we have never had to use them. Quite stable without them.

We attached ours to the bed frame. I don't think it will stand up on its own without securing it to the wall.
