Will this stay upright on carpet? Is it flimsy such that a cat could easily knock it over?

The item is not "flimsy", but it is lightweight as is any room divider of this type. I don't own a cat but assume that it could, if it chose, knock it over easily. It really is an attractive addition to a room. Amazon has stands for room dividers in different colors. If interested, type in those key words and have a look. Good luck

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.

Not at all! It is a very good quality, sturdy and very well made. Of course, if you put something super heavy in it I am not sure how it will handle it. But I can tell you it holds our cat without any problem and she is 14 Lbs :)

It does nit need to be bolted to the ground, putting on carpet is fine. Wouldo be more stable though on hard floor.

No, not easily. Once filled there is enough weight to keep it firmly upright. I'd keep it out of the cat's reach though.

It will stay upright but with enough force you could push it over...very heavy

I have two cats - total weight 16 pounds. It is fortunate that the cat tree is against a wall as they tend to push off it when they get rambunctious. It would surely topple over if not for that. I have had to retighten the screws as they have come loose so keep that key handy. Otherwise plenty sturdy for holding weight (I just sat on it to be sure!). Just wish it had a broader base for when they jump off.

If the cats are a bit frisky it would fall over. It is more of a piece of art vs. a screen. I enjoy the dimension it adds to my room but it is not the sturdiest piece of furniture!

I can't quite honestly say, my fatter cat is about 14lbs and it holds him up no problem. Apply the laws of physics though, the higher the structure the wider your base needs to be or else it will tip over.

It totally won't break, but your cat might not feel super secure. My guy is probably only 9.5 lbs, and there's no shaking at all when he sits on it or jumps around, but I can tell the top level makes him a bit nervous...even when he does go up there, it seems like it feels wobbly to him.

I keep it on a tile floor. I think there would be safety issues in putting it on carpet. It is small and could tip over.

well it is not very stable sitting on carpeting,but sitting on hardwood or any smooth hard floor it will be very stable.I hope this answer helped you

No danger of a cat knocking it over, it has a slight a wobble to it, but it is very sturdy. My fat cat climbs all over it, and there has never been a time when it looked even slightly like it might tip over. The base is very heavy and big enough to support the weight of the tree and an active cat.

I can't answer from experience, as my cat is more sedate than rowdy. But when I myself push at the tree, it is hard to push over. The bottom is so wide in comparison with the top, that being pushed over seems unlikely to me. This is not a flimsy cat tree, it is sturdy. I say: give it a go!

This one is not easily knocked over. I have 6 cats + 8 kittens and quite a few of them like to paw at the water. It would take all their might to push this thing, but the base is so wide and heavy (ceramic) that I don 't think they could ever tip it.

Our 3 cats never knocked it over, but they certainly wended around it. Can't see how they would get hurt unless they were chewing on the cord and the cord zapped them or the fan gave them a nose whap as it fell...it's really quite light.

Yeah but you need a place to caddy it in the corner to be safe. It's tall so it could be top heavy. My cat is maybe eight pounds or so. He loves it. It's like 4.5 feet tall. Never had an issue with it being wobbly. :)
