When this says easily secures to wall for safety, does it hang from the wall or free standing on the floor?

I did not secure it to the wall so it is free standing on the floor. It seems fine and I haven't had any problems with it. I have nick nacks in it for display but I don't think you would have problems with DVD's, CD's etc. I like the way it looks too!

Freestanding on the floor. They provide a nylon piece that attaches to the top of the unit and then you screw it to the wall

It sits on floor. There is a strap included that can be hooked to wall with a screw to keep from tipping. On carpet it is a little top heavy and could fall...

Its a free standing piece of furniture. When they say it secures easy to wall I think they are assuming that it may be put on carpet which can be an uneven surface. If it seems uneven then you might want to secure it to wall so it doesn't fall over. My son has it on carpet and it doesn't need to be secured.

The tower stands on the floor. Because it is 41" tall and only 8" deep, it could easily tip and fall forward. So securing it to the wall is highly recommended.

I have mine in my 3rd bathroom for storage, where it doesn't get a lot of traffic. It is fairly secure not being attached to the wall. If you don't have to worry about children, it's probably fine. I am getting a little concerned about mine because I have an 18 month old who visits often.

No not at all. The way it tilts up against the wall makes it secure. If it would make you feel better about anchoring it to the wall, you can always do it. I see no need to do it. Hope you enjoy it as much as my daughter does.

The manufacturer is Sauder and yes it is free standing and does not need to be mounted to the wall.

It can hang on the wall. Mine came with a metal chain that is used for hanging. It plugs into any standard house outlet.

As long as you're going wall to wall, you probably won't need to secure them to the floor at all. We put ours down without any adhesive, and they stay put with no problem at all.

It does not need to be secured to the wall. You can just secure the TV to the mount.

Don't believe it is designed to be free standing. Have always had mine mounted to the wall for stability.

It is pretty sturdy and as long as the floor is level, you should not have any problem without mounting it to the wall.

No. It's to be on the floor but you can secure the top part against the wall.

Mine isn't wall anchored and it's pretty stable. I've two spacers at the top of the shelves to off set the small amount of space that is caused by the shelves being against the floor board on the bottom but that's all and it is very stable to me. If you feel it's not stable enough free standing then I'd use an anchor at the top. Another thing to consider is if you plan to lay anything on top of the shelves such as a thin book or DVD case, be aware that if your not careful, it might slip down the back and you might have to dig it out. This happened to me and I had to get a pair of grabbers to get it out. To keep this from happening again, I placed a shelf mat on top of the shelves. Hope this helps.

There is a safety strap that attaches to the wall and the top of the unit. It needs to be mounted into a wall stud with the correct hardware. If mounted correctly it will prevent the possibility of the unit falling forward.

I see two things which would prevent a wallmount. First, it comes with a stand for tabletop display which might be removed, but it has no bracket or way to attach a hook for hanging. Second, it must remain plugged in, which means you'd have a .cord dangling down your wall unless you had power accessible directly behind it. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't have to be attached to the wall. It has the capability to be attached but its entirely up to you. Mine is not attached to the wall but I don't store anything really heavy on it either.

It works best stuck to the wall because it is flat on one side and won't stand alone on the ground. Great toy though, and comes off easily if you need to move it.

If the floor is reasonably flat and level, you should have to problem with it freestanding...if there are little children in the house, you may have to add a strap to the top and secure it to the wall to avoid any chance of them tipping it...other than that, you should be fine just letting it stand against the wall.

it is not attached to the wall, it just leans against it, but it is quite stable. I have it on hard wood, I actually think carpet would be a better surface to keep it in place.
