are the glass shelves secured? or just sitting on arms?

The bottom shelf is the base so it is fully attached. The smaller shelf is attached at the back but the front will lift up a bit. It is very secure! We love the whole set up. We have a 48" tv on it!

Yes, they are. The arms screw into the base pole, there is a small section of metal, then the two arms which go a little more than half the length of the shelf on the underside.

The glass shelf is screwed onto the arm (there are metal discs embedded in the glass). The lower shelf is actually part of the entire base.

Shelves are glass. Heavy duty and satisfied. Make sure to look at the dimensions as this is a surprisingly small stand.

No...they are very sturdy as is. The backs of all the shelves touch the wall and there is an extra support under the bottom shelf

Lower shelf is strong. But because of the 4 corners of the upper shelf, I think it may not be safer for a household with baby. The table is beautiful and the glasses are strong.

The shelves sit on 4 pegs each, with gravity keeping them in place. I think if you placed the unit on its side, the shelves would fall.

I am using my shelves indoors right now, and while they are not exactly classy, they are very sturdy and hold a lot of thing as with no problems at all. They are an excellent product for the price. Hope this helps.

They are fixed positions. I left the middle shelf out underneath to give more room for power tools.

The base of the tray is held to the shelf with screws. The base has to be secured for the tray to slide in and out. Glass shelves, of course would not allow you to secure the base with screws. Perhaps some really strong double sided tape might work, but when the tray loaded with cd's or dvd's is fully extended, the base really has to be strongly secured. So, I'd not recommend trying to secure it to a glass shelf.

I have 2 of these shelf units and both are full of books. They are really strong and of course since the shelf itself is made of glass, there is no sagging. (The glass is really thick)

Yes I have one and I thought the same thing, but it has glass the whole way around three glass shelves just a solid top and bottom, not bad for the price...

I'd agree with everyone else's comments - the shelves themselves are very sturdy but the back panel is more for decorative purposes. I keep a mix of heavy and light books on these shelves and they dont appear to have bowed at all

Nope, all the shelves are fixed. I've had mine almost a year now with no problems.

NO...shelf is too heavy for that. Too big a chance of coming undone and glass breaking.

Yes, there are three glass shelves and six fixed positions. The first position is 5.5" from the bottom. The other five positions are 2.5" apart with the sixth 5.5" from the top.

The weight of the glass creates enought friction to keep the shelf in place. No problem at all. Made a very nice decorative touch.

I have it hanging on the wall and use the upper part as a shelf. It is beauitiful. I recommend keeping an eye on the glasses - vibrations tend to make them dance forward. We bent ours just a smidge so they lean towards the back.

They have little black rubber spaces that hold the shelves in place. This prevents the shelves from coming off the brackets.
