Does this pole screw into the ceiling? I'd like one that I know will not fall over.

Screw into ceiling and spin locks to the floor, ours has been up since Christmas and never had a problem

Yes you can screw it into the ceiling but I did not so i can not speak on its durability once secured in place.

Yes! It has a top base that you screw into the ceiling. Then you can insert the pole. The bottom has a grip pad best used for hard surfaces. It will slide a bit on carpet and is not fun trying to unroll the rubber flat! Good luck!! I love mine!

It will not fall... it doesn't actually screw into the ceiling but has a suction kind of top with a metal bar that presses against the ceiling. I've had mine for quite awhile and do flip, turns, spins, and every kind of trick on it and it's never budged! I've even had grown men play around on it and it held up perfect!

It's not attached to the ceiling and doesn't need to be screwed into the floor. The easiest way to explain it is to think of a shower curtain rod. Tension on both ends holds it in place.

Absolutely but the screw that secures it in the base of the pole does not secure the top part . waiting for a resolution

We hung ours from the ceiling on an I-hook, screwed into a ceiling beam. Had to purchase our own hanging devices; heavy duty rope and clips. My husband can tie crazy knots so I knew it would be secure! I don't know that it is recommended by the manufacturer, but it worked for us since we had no room for the stand.

The one I bought has HD (3/8") lag-type hooks that thread into a ceiling joist. Make CERTAIN that these are very secure, as they will be holding a lot of weight. I added gorilla glue to the hole before threading the hook into it. I am constantly checking these to make sure I don't have any problems. None so far - 3 years.

It won't clamp securely to a round pole. It's best to clamp it to a shelf. It supports the weight of the shade just fine. But beware of the threads on the shade. They aren't very secure.

It must be attached to a ceiling to work right. Unless a type of structure is created for it to hang on.

It doesnt screw into the ceiling. It works kind of like a shower curtain rod does. You tighten it so that it will stay steady. It absolutely has to be firm to the ground and the ceiling so that you can spin on it

Denise, Just don't install the pole. The ceiling base has screws to attach to the fan housing. Hope this helps.

It does not come with hanging hardware, as far as the rings that you would attach to your ceiling. But everything else is there. My husband put it up years ago and it's been sturdy & great!

The ceiling and floor mounts are horizontal plates which stay in place by virtue of an adjustment of pressure from changing the length of the pole. I was able to install with a reasonable amount of attention to the instructions, and in future the mounts should be removable with the rest of the unit in case of a move.

I would be hesitant about hang anything from a drop ceiling. I would still try to attach to the actual ceiling with a pole or to a beam. Hope this helps.

no it will not sweetiw, i have new hardwoood floors & that may be the best flooring to use your pole on, it will hold it in place & keep it it sturdy.

The wire-like bracket thingy that you see at top of the house in the pictures does come with it. We then bought a large hook that screwed into the building that we hung it on. Wherever you hang it, it needs support at the back near the bottom, so that it doesn't sway. Needs to be stable.

Yes. One screw holds the base to the pole. User's manual here: http://www.monopricehub.com/files/manuals/5561_Manual_110830.pdf

Without being screwed in? Not very well. The base is very light so the weight isn't distributed evenly, that being said it needs to be screwed in or it would be prone to tipping over quite easily.
