Would this be suitable for a high-rise balcony railing or are they liable to topple? I won't want to break City ordinances and decapitate anyone.

The recess is designed for the width of a wooden deck railing. It is probably 6" wide, and flat at the "top". You are better off with the window box type that have hooks for a typical metal balcony railing.

Depending on the railing. It is designed to fit over a 2" X 4" wooden rail. I screwed mine to the wooden rail with 4 wood screws apiece. They will also drip when you water them as there are pre-drilled holes. Unless you screw them down, or somehow affix them, I would not trust them to sit on a rail. They are however quite durable and do their job!

I do not believe you will have any problems with it toppling off of the railing. It fits snugly if you order the right size.

It is very universal to install....I just used tie wraps and attached to my balcony railing. It can be screwed into the side of a building. It's a great product and I would recommend it. The flashing light really works well and shows up great at night. Hard to tell the real ones for the dummy ones.... :)))

If the railing is hollow, I wouldn't recommend it; unless you change out the screws for long bolts & nuts, and run them all they way through the other side of the bracket.

Might be a bit heavy depending on your existing deck railing and its re enforcing I couldn't be certain.

I wouldn't trust it for that! It's not a steel hook. I'm careful not to let mine fall by accident.

If the metal railings has a flat face that is at least 2 inches wide, then it should work. If the railing is round all around, then it will not work.

I think it potentially can be. I would have a few concerns. The tiles dont get tied to the floor and even thought they don't seem to slip it depends how many you will put down and how close to the ledge you want to cover. I personally would try to add something to secure them better just to be sure o make sure the railing and or wall keeps them in place. Other possible issue is I've seen how some bulding management/HOAs are strict about what is put on a balcony. I would also make sure there is no rule that would make you have to take them out. Other than that it sounds like a good idea.

The obvious answer on a balcony is part of the railing. I'd be very cautious about using it outside, though - use it in dry weather only and take it in. I can't recommend this product, though - in fact, I really detest it! This is a design American manufacturing got 100% right a long time ago, but which now has been reduced to throw away garbage by "survival of the cheapest". Shoddy manufactured goods and the 21st Century's largest surviving authoritarian government - what's not to like!?

Yes it is definitely sturdy enough but I would be concerned about them if they might miss the general center of the platform and jump in the edge that then they might cause the stack to topple if you stack too high.

Definitely not. They will collapse. I'd say no more than 3 lbs max on top of them.

They would be too heavy, I think. They are much heftier than a typical plastic planter for a railing.

If you are going to drape them on a railing I think they would look great. Putting them on the floor would probably give only you visual delight!

No, don't seem sturdy enough. Would require good anchors top and bottom for sure.

i would think so, but it's very light, not sure if it would topple...you might need to put a plywood or plexiglass circle under it, or a couple of anchors to the table top depending how you're using it

If railing was a 4X4 these would be great, but for 2" metal railings (like a NY French balcony railing) the brackets were huge and completely unusable. It's a lovely container though and I did manage to attach it with cables and clips.

I had a problem with mine because my railing isn't flat. It's rounded so this couldn't be used.

It depends on railing size if you have 2x4 then order the 2x4 and they will fit fine, if you have 2x6 railing then order the 2x6 deck boxes and they will fit fine. I have never had one fall off or be blown off. They work great as long as you order the size that fits YOUR railing.
