I haven't had a problem with it tipping. I would recommend a sturdy stand or table, with everything I have in mine is rather heavy. I have my terrarium put into a wall cubby that just happened to fit it.

I ordered two of these for end tables, and I just bought an extra one. I'm going to remove the top caps and add a tier that way. It will work, and I'll have a slightly taller, 4-tier piece. This will make them just the height I need. I'm doing the same thing with the tv stand, I just bought a second one to add to it.

I just have a sturdy folding table with a sheet over it. Tipping has not been a problem.

If you have enough weight on the bottom shelves it might hold it without tipping backwards. It is a sturdy stand, the top shelf isn't going to break, I would want to make sure it doesn't fall. The wheels will lock so if you put it against a wall it wouldn't flip.

hi restin. not knowing the statue you have, i can't guarantee it won't tip over! however, the kind of base/table that your statue and swivel are going to be on is important -- needs to be sturdy and level. i would place the object on the swivel with the front pulled a little forward and the heavy back being somewhat more to the center, if this is possible with your statue. the swivel base itself has been very sturdy for our use (60lb bonsai that i can now rotate easily and smoothly). play with it. also, "museum gel," bought at art stores, is very helpful for peace of mind. i hope this is helpful -- lise hi restin. not knowing the statue you have, i can't guarantee it won't tip over! however, the kind of base/table that your statue and swivel are going to be on is important -- needs to be sturdy and level. i would place the object on the swivel with the front pulled a little forward and the heavy back being somewhat more to the center, if this is possible with your statue. the swivel base itself has been very sturdy for our use (60lb bonsai that i can now rotate easily and smoothly). play with it. also, "museum gel," bought at art stores, is very helpful for peace of mind. i hope... » Read More hi restin. not knowing the statue you have, i can't guarantee it won't tip over! however, the kind of base/table that your statue and swivel are going to be on is important -- needs to be sturdy and level. i would place the object on the swivel with the front pulled a little forward and the heavy back being somewhat more to the center, if this is possible with your statue. the swivel base itself has been very sturdy for our use (60lb bonsai that i can now rotate easily and smoothly). play with it. also, "museum gel," bought at art stores, is very helpful for peace of mind. i hope this is helpful -- lise « Show Less

This is a very sturdy rack. It is designed for hats on top, and coats on the lowest pegs. There are only 4 coat pegs, but each is long enough to double-up. If you go higher, just even out the load. The base is wide and heavy, so tipping should not be a problem.

This is a very stable ladder. I would not be afraid of it tipping at all. Follow all directions enclosed for safety and watch the DVD. I would highly recommend it ! Hope this helps you out.

This stand is very sturdy and the screws have knobs that are not too tiny. I returned it only because for me it took longer to set up than the ones with levers. But the stand is well-built. The screws are not tiny and have nice handles so it might not be worse than some stands with very tight levers. Good luck!

If you order the stand, look for chipped slate on the shelves, and uneven metal legs. Encountered both problems, and had to return the plant stand on two occasions. The third one I received was an acceptable one. ( Amazon made the exchanges without question, and were very helpful, as they always are ! ).

I have a 6" glass orb hanging on mine. I bought this piece to specifically display this item. However, I do not have pets or children and it sits away from traffic. It is not prone to tipping unless someone physically hits it. I love it.

any stand will do, just dont get the crapy ones, a nice 20-30 dollar stand will do nicely

We have ours outside on the patio and, after we arranged the legs so that they worked with our legs, it has been no problem at all. After my cousin saw mine she purchased one for her classroom and the kids haven't had any troubles with it tipping over.

I really do not know if this unit has the feature your inquiring about. This is made as a solid furniture peace. If I had to compare I would says it's similar to an end table. Tipping over is not something the average user would have to be concerned about unless you intend standing on .

I've not had any problem with it tipping. It's working better than I expected it to.

I ended up using these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006885FS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are plenty strong and sturdy. I used some adhesive putty to secure them to the top of the stand: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FGLX72/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No, it won't tip. Filled with dirt and plants, it's solid and sits securely on the rail.

Unfortunately the spikes are needed. There is a bolt on the bottom of the stand that would cause a huge tilt otherwise. But the spikes are rounded, not sharp, so I'm hoping they won't cause any real damage. You might consider getting some rubber pads to put underneath them.
