Do you really need to fasten it to something? or is it pretty sturdy on its own?

We have 2 and they have been standing on their own next to a wall without any problems.

It's pretty sturdy on it's own. If you have kids or pets though, I'd attach it to the wall. Also, be careful with weight distribution. If you put the heaviest stuff on top, you'll make it easier to topple should it get bumped.

No. But it does come with pieces that provide for that -- if you fell it's necessary. But mine was beautifully set up without having to screw them. And so far it's been baby proof. Maybe there's a visual installation guide of it on youtube (I saw that of other brands anyway.).

Yes it is sturdy once it's together. But good luck getting it shipped in one piece.

Yes. We used a little bracket attachment to secure it. I believe it came with it.

You have to assemble it. It is not as hard to assemble as some of the reviews say.

If you are sure you're never going to take it apart, go ahead and do it. However I don't think it's necessary. Mine has been steady and solid without

Hi: No you have to put together. The instructions are simple to follow. I got two of them and they are very strong.

No. You have to put it together yourself. It's not too bad. I am really bad at that kind of stuff, and I did it by myself.

I actually never did screw it into the wall even though it does suggest it. Personally I've had it for nearly 2yrs now & I had no issues with it tipping over, etc... its pretty sturdy & i have a ton of DVDs packed in there as well as other electronic devices. Personally I dont think its necessary at all.

No Marie, it has to be put together, but it was not hard to do. If you are strong enough to use it you will not have any trouble.

No, you need to assemble it by yourself, however, it is not a difficult process if you have all the equipment you need.

You need some way to attach it, I welded a bracket to the parts that came with it to mount mine... It does come with some stuff but not a real way to mount it...

No. It is bolted. I am no expert but I would be cautious about one that was not bolted together....that it would be in danger of collapsing with weight on it.

It does not need to be attached, ours is free standing. We have had it for a couple of years now and it hasn't been a problem.

Yes, it is sturdy but it takes a little wiggling to get it in place -- nothing difficult though.

It holds together very well on its own. It has about four "pressure clips" on each side, the kind where you push the metal through and then they stay in place because the gap is too small for the bars to pass through without outside force. The perches slide on and have a little lip that goes over the horizontal bars to hold it in place.I hope this helps.

It can sit by itself, bracket is not required, although the base is narrow so it isn't incredibly sturdy..
