it looks like it would be unstable and tip because of the small base. Is it?

It's stable. My 3 & 4 yr old boys play on it all the time. We haven't had any problems.

Not at all...it's very stable! I've had 2 and 3 medium children ( 7-9 year olds) at a time paying on it counterbalancing at various distances from the center along the bar, teens and children, adults...It has never so much as lifted in the center. No tipping whatsoever. And, while it is drilled so you could bolt it down if you choose,I do no thave it bolted...this thing is sturdy.

NO, not at all! I bought it for my grand kids and they love it! ages 2 and 6 =)

It is surprisingly stable. My complaint is that I needed replacement parts and have still not received them.

Absolutely not unstable! I bought this for my primary school grandchildren to use at our summer cabin. Before they had a chance to use it, our teenage grand nieces were visiting. They spent hours and hours doing all sorts of heavy duty antics on it. It has never tipped over or even tipped anyone off. GREAT item! I will most likely get one for our primary residence as well.

No it doesn't , it is very stable. I have 4 children and they have not had any problems at all will the Spinning Teeter Totter.

I would think either would be hard to tip over. I don't think they could tip this one and it holds a lot of water too.

Hmmm...only if it was bolted to the ground, so it didn't tip when she is on it....You could ask the supplier.

I haven't had any trouble with it tipping over, but I tried it myself and it did continue to run. That's obviously a safety concern that should be addressed.

That's not the problem as it can be made rather "short." It's not as stable as we'd like on flat surfaces. And that is a big problem for my wife.

HI - Mine has never tipped over. The base is solid and holds it in place. My elderly friend loves this, and can move it around to do her jewelry making again.I highly recommend it.

No, but it is small and compact, unlikely to tip over. Move important is - NEVER USE HIGH HEAT. Use low or medium. High will trip a breaker or burn a hole in the wall.

I honestly don't know but as stable and heavy as it is it would take a lot to tip it over.

It is pretty stable. The base is not huge, so it could tip if struck somewhat heavily but the lamp stem and top are not heavy so it is not topheavy and probably would notInjure her. Several of our elderly relatives have one and find them very helpful. My wife uses one for needlework. Hope this helps.

We have not had any tipping problems, even just holding onto one side. But, if you put all of your weight on one side, then like anything else lightweight it could tip. Overall it is sturdy and stays put on our carpeted floor, has not tipped over for us and it really does help.

No the base is too small it needs to be stabilized by a wall or some other furniture. ..kinda defeats the purpose.

Sitting on the chair and looking down on each side, it appears the wheel base is slightly larger. What I can say with certainty is that it is very stable. I have never had the the faintest feeling that the chair might tip, no matter how I might have been leaning.

I'd don't think there would be a problem since it is stabilized by the base.

No because it lays flat on a surface. It would be unstable beyond a sitting position or laid flat.

No, it is not big enough and would make it top heavy n wobbly. You need at least a 4 ft base.

Yes. But it is so light that it tips over. Needs a sturdier base in my opinion.

It's quite heavy and so quite stable without a base. I've been using mine for a couple of years and never, if one is doing it right, would you need it to be more stable.
