Help! How do I stabilize the connection on top of the base? The wood piece where 1st section screws in will allow only part of the screw to be used??

Are you sure you have the right pieces in the right order? I did not experience any difficulty stabiling my stand. perhaps you could try putting the base together first, making sure it's secure,then adding top/higher pieces? Am sorry, this prob isn't much help, but mine was fine.....

I used duck tape to hold it in place and then scewed it together...prety simple after that.

You may have stripped the threads... remove any burrs and try a bit of teflon tape... making sure that you are screwing it in straight. I love mt tree but always make sure you take your time... always could be a factory defect... send it back and get another...if so.

The biggest challenge was to get that screw connected so it screwed on right. Make sure you have the right sequence of parts connecting to the base--the round metal piece is very important. I didn't really have a problem once I got the screw tight. Unfortunately, I'm in NY right now and the coat rack is in Florida so I can't look at it carefully.

Hi, There are two screw pre drilled holes on the back side of the base to allow for it. I personally would place a nice small wood shelve type to rest it on while placed on the wall because the base is plastic and with time become fragile.

It just sits in and then you tighten the screws ,,,maybe try tightening it more of maybe yours is defective. We didn't have any difficulty with ours.

I ran into the same issue. After I got the rest of it tightened, I laid the whole thing down horizontally, undid the screws that were holding those two L & R legs, made sure the leg pieces were then flush, and put the screws back in. This time, with the whole thing horizontal, it was much easier to screw the screws/bolts together. And I had to get it SUPER tight before it wasn't wobbly. But it did eventually work great. Hope this helps!

Disassemble and make sure the final cable (can't remember what it is called.. But it's the last thing you do before you start re screwing everything together) is clamped good. I had to give it 2 tries before this worked. Good luck!

Since the top is fairly thick wood, I guess you could drill a pilot hole for the screw and just screw it to the top. Since the unit is made of pressed wood with a very thin overlay, you must drill that pilot hole before trying to screw into it.

My base arrived already connected. When looking at mine, it isn't obvious how to reassemble. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Same problem here. I just connected the TV to the base without the screw and it seems pretty secure to me on the TV stand. Hopefully it not tumble over randomly one day while I am at work...

Don't tighten the screws all the way until you have them all in. Just thread the screws enough to hold in place. Good luck.

I had the same question when I first opened the package containing the enclosure. The tiny screws weren't installed, but I couldn't figure out how to open it, so I came here to see what worked for other people. What worked for me was just giving the enclosure a slight 'shake' while holding it horizontally (holding the sides of the enclosure, not the top and bottom). That caused the metal bottom to fall out, then I easily removed the top. It's one of those things that once you see how it's done, it makes perfect sense. But until then, it can leave you scratching your head.

There is a plastic screw that is flush within the top tier. Someone posted a picture of the screw being used to secure the bottom tier. It is the same screw used to secure the top tier when fully assembled.

Double check that everything is true- May be binding if wall and top lines are not true. I also ran into an issue where the screw head I was using protruded too much and was holding up the assembly from closing flat. I had to drill a new hole where it wouldn't interfere.

...just push it Real Hard! Take the mount off the base first. does that help? Any luck? Let me know?

I would double check your other connections. Perhaps you used the wrong screws somewhere else. We did not have any problems putting this together but we carefully matched the screws with the diagram in the directions.

I have used a rubber mallet and gently tapped the shelves beginning with the top shelf loosening one corner at a time and then working my way down the unit. Just take your time. Perhaps laying the shelf unit on its side would make the job even easier.

Understand you want to attach to underside of table rather than vertical on back side. See no reason why not. The adhesive attachment seems very good hoer dr I would suggest a few small screws as well. I just that on my install. If you just have one or two cables probably not an issue, but if you have more I would suggest the screws, just make sure they are short enough not to penetrate the top.

Hi steve i have the same one. U shud make your own mounting brackets as the ones spplied are inadequate. U shud use four brackets to make it stable. Sorry im having the same problem. Good luck. Jim
