Is this type of shelf sturdy enough for flooring in an apt? I'd like something that wont tip forward so easily.

I have carpeted floors. This tips over easy and I found that if one dvd falls, the entire row falls. Anchoring the unit to the wall minimized this.

It can depend on how thick your carpet is. You could try putting the heavy stuff on the bottom or even securing the unit to the wall. It is not a heavy unit.

Hard to say. Honestly, I think it's a little flimsy. It could be knocked over if you have old carpet like mine. It's not up against the wall, it's in front of a window. But I have enough movies & games stacked up that it's heavy enough to be stable. (It's pretty much full) The carpet has bits of creases in my home. So far, it's never fallen over. The problem was if it's bumped, like by my dog, movies come tumbling down. You could put something heavy on the bottom to keep it more stable.

I like it. The shelf is sturdy and nice looking just as it showed in the picture. It would be a little too nice for MY GARAGE, but depending on the rest of the setting, it might do fine in yours. Note that the shelf is not that large.

I wouldn't suggest it. The way the selves are the only way the shelves will effectively support weight is having is sit on the floor the way it's shown. The box has a picture of it on it's side but we tried that and almost broke the whole row of shelves.

It's very sturdy. Mine sits on a gym mat. Since it's not bolted down, it's only gonna be as sturdy as your floor is evenly flat. I haven't had mine shake on me. My friend claims when he's struggling on the dips, he's had it slightly shake. Nothing extreme like tipping over. Obviously because if you let your body shake, the tower will too. Rock solid in my opinion.

I am really not sure. there are two more sturdy shelves, but the adjustable ones are fairly thin and the whole thing is versa board or some such material with a covering. Based on my experience with sagging shelves in my bathroom cabinets, I would be inclined towards NO. I have paperbacks and a few CD/DVDs on mine and the shelves are holding up well.

I think it would be sturdy, the shelves are slats - not a solid piece of wood. It would look ok.

Hi, I would not recommend this for a shelf if you don't have some sort of vertical support under the shelf. The vertical support would keep the shelf from hanging forward and down a bit. I've used this hanger for a cabinet since it is more vertical than horizontal.

yes , seems very sturdy. and you could use it inside . i would apply more non slip pads on bottom if you have slick [slippery ] floors inside.

No unless you were to put plywood on top of unit which would pretty much limit the shelf that would be on the bottom unit, but even then i wouldnt recommend for stability purposes. Seville does make higher shelves that are very sturdy.

This shelf is well supported, so you shouldn't need to worry about it slipping. It's held up very well for us for the last several months. I have it loaded down with college text books.

Yes, it is fairly sturdy. Especially if weighted with items on the shelves. A flat screen should work.

My guess would be no. The unit is assembled by putting the square posts into square openings at the corners of the shelves; the openings measure roughly 1.75 inches x 1.75 inches. Even if you could put wheels into those openings, I don't think the shelves would be stable enough to roll around without things falling off. I would look for shelving with wheels built into the design.

The shelves on this are pretty low to the ground (I think the top shelf only sits about 13" off the ground). I have it set up in the living room of an apartment that I'm in the process of moving into and don't have any issues but I don't even have the coffee table in yet. As long as you have a line-of-site to it you'll be fine but I could see having an issue in a small space with any obstacles in the way. Otherwise, it's a great stand.

The shelf is about half-inch thick solid wood and the supporting legs are metal. I can't imagine there would be any problem with all that. As a precaution and reassurance, add the various items one at a time to make sure nothing snaps along the way! Good luck.

Yes, it is sturdy enough. It should hold at least 5 or 6 bottles per shelf, and standing works fine; but for added support mounted may be you best bet. I hope this helped.

I have laminate wood looking floors and mine does not slip. I do have my bottom shelf weighted pretty good with photo albums so that might be keeping it more secure.

The shelves are probably stong enough, but the unit as a whole isn't stable enough that I would trust putting a TV on it. It's fine for books or plants, but not something expensive and breakable like a TV.
