what are the dimensions of the storage cavity? It sounds like it needs something heavy to help prevent tipping. I wonder if a brick or two would fit?

the storage dimensions are 26 1/2 " X 18" X 4 1/2 ". I have a couple of average sized books in mine along with two small boxes of CD's. I never had a problem with it tipping, I do go easy with it though.

18" x 25" x 4.5" deep. The table does not tip when it is open but it will if you lean on it. I just use the inside to store coasters, etc. When it is fully open it is way too tall to use if you were sitting on the sofa. It is a good, solid, heavy piece.

We eat dinner on it all the time and it has never tipped over. Its very stable with the top up.

The opening for the storage compartment is 23"x18", and the compartment is 4" deep. There's a bit more space than that, but the springs for the lift top intrude on the storage area, which effectively shrinks it to those dimensions.

Yes or purchase a base that is bigger, it would be "tippy" with just one this size.

In my opinion this would not be good for book storage. They are very deep and the front tilts up to keep items in. Great for loose toys though!

My dog is about 37 pounds and because the two back wheels are placed wider than the frame of the cabin, it doesn't tip over if he moves around. But he is larger and can't put all his weight on one front corner. If you have three toys dogs and they all stood together on one side of the front, tipping *might* be an issue. The cabin is slanted to discourage dogs from standing in the front corners, but again, it seems physically possible. Maybe go with a 4 wheel model to be safe.

It is small enough to fit, but it tips over a lot. You would have to secure it somehow. Hope this helps!

Although we haven't used it yet for the intended purchase use, it appears sturdy. However, our intention is to have it setting against a wall for food serving purposes. The bottom legs on one side come out further....would assume that this would help with keeping it from tipping. Hope this helps.

Actually, four bricks, laid horizontally in two stacks, would do the trick. Thanks for the tip. Now I just need to go find four bricks.

Yes. I have long spatulas, ladles, tongs etc in it. I've never had a problem with it tipping over. It's heavier than it seems. I really like mine. No complaints. Does the job

This is a very sturdy rack. It is designed for hats on top, and coats on the lowest pegs. There are only 4 coat pegs, but each is long enough to double-up. If you go higher, just even out the load. The base is wide and heavy, so tipping should not be a problem.

I really do not know if this unit has the feature your inquiring about. This is made as a solid furniture peace. If I had to compare I would says it's similar to an end table. Tipping over is not something the average user would have to be concerned about unless you intend standing on .

Hi Robina! I don't think that using this particular product is a good idea for the heavy items you would like to store. It is very flexible. I think you would be better using something more solid.Yours truly,Grandma Judy

Hi,You have it wrong.The basket is 11" wide x 20"deep at it's largest as it fans out towards the top.So the base is smaller.This should give you 1/4" on each side as you slide it??This must be attached to the base of your cabinet or it tips down when pulled out!!Easy to do with tools but perhaps you could use a caulk as "glue"????Not sure it would be strong enough.Ace Hardware siliconized acrylic caulk dries hard BUT give it a week!And don't get any where it slides.I hope this helps- feel free to ask more questions.......Jeff

It is a solid shelf and should support, how ever you might have a tipping issue

I've got smaller ones and they're wobbly and stacking one on top of the other sucks and I'm not doing it - they'll just slowly collapse. What I've done that has taken care of the problem is just put a board on top of the two bottom containers and then stack another on top of the board - we have three total so that has worked for us. The second row weight distributes via that board across the entire bottom two storage units instead of just the four points that then get squished over time and begin to collapse. The board has prevented any collapse - no worriess. I put the heavier content ones on the bottom and the lighter on top but there isn't that much difference really. So a board works. I'd stick another container on top and be comfortable with that. Now I would never stack over two rows with my board solution though. What I would do is still purchase these containers because they are pretty cool for what we need them to do, and I would purchase some concrete building blocks (pretty cheap although somewhat heavy). Then I would put one concrete block on top of another and once I got above the height of the first row storage then place a board on the concrete blocks. Then do the same on top of that second row I just made to get to a third row. That way all weight from any of the two upper rows of storage boxes is transferred to the board and the concrete blocks and the first row is on the ground so no problems. Hope that helps. =P

With the other trinity storage units you could actually make to small units instead of a tall unit. I am not sure about the top, if there is extra plugs to put on. But you could have one on caster's and one stationary. So for the bottom you are covered.

the hing on the lid is down about 4 inches or so, so you need at least that much clearance just to get the lid open. if you want it to tip back enough to stay open you will need a little more...I installed it on the tongue of someone's trailer, and seem to recall we needed some space.

I am not home right now to measure and make sure but I would say that you would be alright placing a 12" basket in this stand. I don't think anything larger than that would sit level and not tip over? I have a big sphere sitting in mine and I think it's 10" in diameter and there's a little room around the sides of it. The sphere does rest on the bottom shelf or brace so it's more stable. I hope this helps you!
