I live in an apartment and this will be on carpet but being an apartment I will not be able to anchor it to a wall. Does it sound right for me?

Yes. Even though I own my house I have it against the wall on carpet and not anchored. Very sturdy!

None of these slim, vertical media storage units have reliable centers of gravity; less stable on carpet. You're asking for trouble around high-traffic areas, kids and pets.

Just an option. We just have it sitting on the floor, but with its size I do recommend anchoring it to the wall to prevent tipping

I wouldn't recommend it. This unit is top heavy & needs an anchor support in a wall. I was so disappointed after I had assembled it that I disassembled it & sent it back.

Yes, you can use it indoors and no it doesn't need to be anchored in any way. It stands up on its own and moves very little as we use it in our garage.

Carpet shouldnt be an issue. The one I purchased is pretty stable against a wall.

I bought the carpeted version, but it's only designed for a small area, like an entranceway. I think your size project needs a professional, buried installation. I don't believe this would work very safely on an uneven surface and you would create as many problems as you would solve.

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 have them on either side of my couch, on fairly thick carpet. They're fine for us, but if you have small children they would probably need to be secured to the wall.

Pretty stable unless you have sculptured carpet. However, due to the height, it would be best to anchor to a wall, especially if you have children or pets around.

I did not receive any hardware for anchoring the system to the wall. I use mine as a small side table for my books. It is standing up pretty well on my carpet as it is.

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.

We have ours on a carpet. The organizer itself is very sturdy, but we do have it attached to the wall so the whole thing doesn't tilt.

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.

Yes. My TV is 46" and around the same weight. I don't anchor it to a wall and it's on carpet and it sits just fine. It's super easy to put together too

Susan, I think there's always going to be a little movement especially if it's on carpet. It's isn't a design to be solid. A four let design would be solid. Those little metal things are only to limit the rocking motion. I don't know how you have those installed, but if they are installed as instructed, that may be as good as it gets. Mine wobbles a little. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I have mine set up on the carpet and am having no issues with it. You just need to make sure you use the leveling feet at the end so that everything is setting just right. took me about 5 minutes to get that just perfect.
