Is the base wide enough to have on the floor and anchor to wall in back at the top? I'm afraid to mount on a wall living in earthquake country.

Yes, the case is designed to be mounted on a wall and stand on its own. However, if you are in earthquake country and you are going to put it on the floor then anchoring it to the wall would probably be a good idea. The brackets do a great job of keeping the unit on the wall though and the door has hinges that allow you to lock the door. Something to consider if you are worried about mounting it on the wall. Hope that helps!

The base is 4 1/4 inches deep. If you anchored it to the wall also, then I think it would be fine on the floor. I mounted mine directly into the studs, thru the back with black screws I got at the hardware store. It is very secure that way. It has a high quality plexiglass front with two clasps on the side to keep the door shut. I think my glasses would be relatively safe even in an earthquake.

The display case is wide enough to stand on its own. So I imagine you can put it on the floor and then anchor it to the wall. I also live in earthquake country (SoCal) & I put the display on the wall & so far they have survives medium size earthquakes 4.0 through 6s. Just make sure if you do put them on walks that you find the studs to secure them to.

It is sturdy if all the screws are tight. I move mine around and it seems to make the screws loosen up. I just need to put loc-tite on them to solve the problem. The base is a thin wall steel tube that can be drilled and anchored to concrete or floor of sort. Hope this helps, I am happy that I bought one.

We don't earthquakes where I live... it's sturdy but if the ground moves it might tip over... maybe you can install some screws to the wall and fasten it with some ropes.. I have two stackers in my garage and I am very happy with the stability.

I think it would be fine .. The top rails that lean against the wall are beveled, so as long as those are flush against the wall it's pretty sturdy.

I don't know for sure; but mine is full enough that weight alone will hold it in place. I have 2 side by side in a corner. The back board is flimsy. If I were in earthquake country, my answer would be different.

Yes. I have it flat against a wall. You'd need to secure it, though. Fully loaded, without a back support, like my wall, it might wobble if not loaded carefully.

It would be best mounted. I think it would not be very stable just sitting on the floor.

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.

Mine isn't wall anchored and it's pretty stable. I've two spacers at the top of the shelves to off set the small amount of space that is caused by the shelves being against the floor board on the bottom but that's all and it is very stable to me. If you feel it's not stable enough free standing then I'd use an anchor at the top. Another thing to consider is if you plan to lay anything on top of the shelves such as a thin book or DVD case, be aware that if your not careful, it might slip down the back and you might have to dig it out. This happened to me and I had to get a pair of grabbers to get it out. To keep this from happening again, I placed a shelf mat on top of the shelves. Hope this helps.

I don't know how sturdy it would be sitting on its base. I never tried it. The doors do have magnetic closures that require some pull to open so I don't know if it would rock when you opened and closed it. Maybe if you could still anchor it to a wall sitting on the counter? Sorry, I really can't be much help. It's great hanging from the wall, though. Love mine.

I would say yes the base should be wide enough to hold and the height should be fine . One note if it is aheavy mirror you might use some Velcro at the height of the stand to keep it from slideing. Good Luck

You will need the top center piece for proper support. If you have not bought this yet; DON'T it is a Piece Of $H!T. But if you have you can do what I did and bolt a 2X4 between the two towers and use a TV wall mount plate to hold the TV. I would also suggest to anchor the whole unit to the wall regardless, because it will be front heavy.

Yes, I anchored it to the drywall. I was concerned that it would flex. It seems plenty strong from a weight on the shelf stand point.

It is pretty sturdy and as long as the floor is level, you should not have any problem without mounting it to the wall.

YEs BUT this thing is heavy!! I have it mounted on a super duty floor base and it still is a but unstable.

if I put mine with a wall base with no problem.I'm using an online translator because I do not speak English.

I don't know. It appears to be made to anchor in the floor just as I have mine. If I had to guess, I would say no.
