How secure is this item -- is it at all prone to topple over?

It was great until Mr Tux got to be full grown. He used to fly up the sides as a kitten but as a big bruiser, the top boxes would pull off. We are down to 2 boxes now. Too bad. We both really loved it!

It hasn't so far --- she has went up like lighting a few times causing it to move a little but the boxes are very sturdy - best thing I've done buying this for her. She thinks she top cat & rules when she is on top of it. Makes her very secure as well.

It's very secure and won't topple over. My cat runs fast at it, jumps, and scrambles up, dozens of times, and it hasn't moved on the hardwood floor.

I feel that it is pretty secure. My cat is about 15 lbs. and it doesn't fall over.

The top is actually pretty secure our kitties run up the tower and down the tower at a high rate of speed just playing and we have never had a problem. Hope this helps

Mine has never toppled over. The base is wide and heavy so it doesn't move. When my cats were younger and jumped off of the top it would sometimes pop out. I was able to solve that with two small strips of velcro. Its a great cat tree. I have had it for years and it still looks brand new.

is VERY stable - the boxes are actually nested in each other with a 2 inch "lip" - hard to tell from the picture.

It seems pretty sturdy. Not sure what happens if the cat runs and jumps on it full speed. I put it next to a window/wall though. No topple over with 4 of my cats so far.

Yes... seemed secure... albeit maybe not as secure as some other tvs on the market. Its fine... just don't wrestle or hang on it. :)

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.

No, it shouldn't fall over unless it is hit hard or something, it is a very stable rack

My husband has been using his for over a year and hasn't had any problems. It secures very well and isn't prone to slipping.

It's got a hard outside shell and a soft inside one so it's pretty secure but I wouldn't run it over with a car or drop it from the second story of a house or anything like that.

I have never had my topple over, so I am am thinking you might not be locking the folding legs in place on the main tube thats slides up and down there is a quick release in the back and if it is not tight the stand will topple over. The quick release is also adjustable and needes to be tight one other thing make sure the foldinging legs are all the way down ( Collar on Main tube is as low as it can go and locked).

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.

No. This is totally secure. Not sure why others answered opposite. It's no more flimsy and loose during an accident than if you had kids water bottles books or little toys which would be more harmful when airborne in an accident. If you install it correctly you'll be fine. Wouldn't loose items be more deadly than this? At least this is mounted This is the best ipad holder out there. Second to none.

I haven't knocked it over, but I've moved it while it's on, and it didn't go off. It's legs are sturdy, and there's handles on both sides, so even if you did happen to knock it over you can easily right it

It would be if you secure it to the wall. It is made of very light weight materials, and the legs on mine were just a little off, creating a wobble. It could easily topple over if not secured to the wall.

it can handle that no problem. I put stuff on mine, and then lean on it sometimes, when I am talking, and I am no light weight. It is quite sturdy.

I had no problems with it falling over. Also the pictures don't do it justice, my wife loves it!

It's very unstable. It certainly will stand upright and stay that way if you don't do anything to it, but compared to a standard upright with a wider base it falls over very easily.

I'm looking at it right now in the middle of a driving storm and it's just fine - very secure. I had one before and it held up perfectly through a number of storms.

Well it is supposed to be used as a lap stand, so I say if you were sitting in bed or on the couch, it shouldn't topple over. If you plan on leaving your laptop on it while you keep it on a table or the floor, and you are not near it, I would say a cat jumping on it would make it topple over. Hope that helps.

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