u said that you have had it for two years...u can call the number and get replacement or extra balancing bars...i did. they came fast.

Make sure that you load both rods with clothing of equal weight. If one rod is full of light items and the other heavy coats then you might have a problem!

I don't have that problem, this has worked our fine. We have clothes back and front, the back side is higher than the other and we have clothes well balanced on both racks. I hope this helps.

i think u must not have the bars in place correctly that balance the two racks. there are no pictures of them on the directions. the two bars that have black plastic on either side go between the racks to balance them.to order replacement parts just call the number on the instruction paper that came with the item.

Sorry I didn't actually buy this. The wrong email address is attached to the account. Hang weights on the ends? Best wishes.

Mine stands up just fine with my MBA inside. I suppose tipping is possible depending on how much additional weight and equipment you carry and how it's distributed. Over time, with use and weathering it may lose some of its rigidity too I suppose but thus far I have had no issues with tipping whatsoever. Stands straight and tall.

I have it on a carpeted floor in a corner. It is not top heavy. No problems with it wanting to tip over.

No, it shouldn't tip unless one side is ridiculously overloaded with heavy items hanging on one side and nothing on the other. It is solid and moves very well when heavily loaded. I've seen some useless garment racks and this one is not one of those. It's worth the price.

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.

You have to be careful to put the heavier on the bottom. It can get a bit too wobbly w/ too heavy of things on the top. If you do, I'd also recommend making sure the floor is level. Ours isn't and that also adds to the wobbling.

This can hold about 30 lbs of clothes. This unit have a tendency to lean forward after 2 months of being in use. Put a nail and attached the back to the wall so it does not lean forward.

It really won't tip over. The only concern I would have is that it is narrow inside, and for larger people it may pose a problem getting in and out.

I have been using mine for 9 months and haven't had a problem at all. I know your not supposed to hand bags on the handle bar so maybe that's what people are doing to cause it to tip.

The bottom seemed pretty sturdy. I didn't load it fully so I can't speak to tipping.

Hi,I've had mine for quite a few months, and it hasn't drooped in the middle like other's I've had. SO far it's holding up great.

I don't have that problem. It's been up for 2 months and the top stays in place. However I haven't taken the bike off yet so maybe that changes things

I have never had a problem with mine falling over. Sorry I can't help on this one. Maybe the set is defective or not put together correctly.

I haven't had problems, but bear in mind that I don't use it real often. I know it should not collapse. Hope it helps.

Mine is also very wobbly... I just left it how it was because I didn't know what else to do. We don't have much action around it so it has been fine the couple of years I've had it now.

I have not treated mine delicately. I have it loaded down, but I couldn't tell you how much it's actually holding. It doesn't seem to be an issue though.

Mine's rock solid, even after a major move, and we seriously load it down (6+ jackets/coats, umbrellas, work tote, reusable shopping bags, dog leashes, cane, etc). I'd say if you get one that tips, it's probably a defect and it should be exchanged.
