How sturdy is the stand? Is it safe for those with small children, i.e. could they knock it over so that the ceramic crock or water bottle falls?

stand is a bit flimsy -do not think it is sturdy enough to withstand a child running into it. mine is in the corner but still concerned excited dogs could knock it over.

Don't think it is sturdy enough to withstand kids or dogs running into it. Mine is in a corner but still would be concerned if could get knocked over if run into.

Good evening Thomaswhen I purchased the porcelain water dispenser and stand and put the stand together I reinforced the stand with wood glue and better screws also adding a few more screws..we move it everyday with a five gallon glass water bottle..on top of it to clean the floors...with the reinforcement it's very sturdy...and has been for the last year..as for small children around it it is the perfect height for them to knock it over....the waterspout would be at Chin level for a 5 year old or a little lower.... Over all the crock is fantastic, stand could be higher... product works well for us.. but with kids I would put the crock on a counter or a table.

It's not wobbly at all, particularly if you make sure to put large, heavy pots on the bottom shelves and not over-weight the top shelves, but it's not a climbing toy. You'll have to evaluate how well your toddler will listen to you.

It is fairly heavy but does not have a very broad base. IMO, a toddler could knock it over.

O no!!! It's about as sturdy as a cardboard box! It's very nice, looks exactly like picture and very safe! It's flexible so I don't think it could hurt ur toddler!

I know that adults can stand on it and it's been fine. I would say upto 150lbs is no problem!! So any toddler is safe.

It is sturdy...we sit on top of it to put on our shoes. It will depend on what type of floor it will be on as to whether it can be pushed around. However, it is heavy but nothing is toddler proof.

Lower shelf is strong. But because of the 4 corners of the upper shelf, I think it may not be safer for a household with baby. The table is beautiful and the glasses are strong.

Yes. That is why I took it down. Put it up for my elderly mother. Looked like it would fall on her. Didn't want to take the chance. Wouldn't suggest it for little kids. Pay a little more for a better shelf.

It is very sturdy. I often use a bible, iPad and small clock timer on top. Then have a rather large cup (glass) for water on the shelf. I've even lightly leaned on it too and it's been great.

Mine is quite sturdy. Not sure I would let an adult sit on it, but would probably support the weight of my 10-year-old stepson. It gets a lot of wear from people resting their feet on the bottom shelf, which I should have foreseen, but it came with a touch up marker, so it still looks good.

I don't think this would fall over however I could see it rattle if there were just a couple of dishes in the holder as they would bump against each other. Having mine stacked as I do, there is no rattling because my stands are full of plates.

Hi I'm sorry I no longer have the product - moved and it wasn't worth bringing. Not sure if this helps but it is flimsy and if you have toddlers the shelves do not require a lot of strength to wobble.

It is pretty sturdy, I have just used it for food and wine, glasses etc, I wouldn't sit on it tho, lol

No, my clumsy 3 y/o has no issues. I have even stepped on it and tried to tip it. It is very easy to set up and break down, but is resistant to tipping.

Hi - My twins are 7 months so not standing up yet, but it does seem pretty sturdy. It is also pretty big - so I doubt your 1 year old would be able to tip over. We love this thing by the way. It is super easy to set up and looks okay too. Kelly

My daughter was pretty rough with ours and never knocked it over. You will have more problems with it leaking. We had ours 2 months and had to patch it so many times, we returned it. Hope this helps.

It doesn't sway...actually very sturdy. I would be hesitant if kids are going to around it though.
