We used folding shelf brackets on the side of a bar area for extra seating at our lakehouse...fold them down when not in use, pop them up when we are eating...fortunately, we were able to place our brackets directly into 2x4" studs, using long screws. The tabletop is stainless steel over 1/4" plywood, and rather heavy...the brackets work fabulously...the bar is 6' long, and we used 3 of the 4 brackets, which were 14" long...we also screwed the brackets into the plywood...carefull not to drill into the stainless steel. We are very pleased with this bracket...exactly what we were looking for...reconfigure the placement of your brackets so they attach directly into the wall stud if possible...or use molly bolt, or plastic anchors if not possible to move bracket...good luck

It's very sturdy. I made a laundry folding table for the wife. It doesn't move, and she loves it

Not without it being completely unstable. The shelf supports the legs and keeps them straight.

the shelves seem to be fairly sturdy, however you definitely have to anchor unit to wall, it is a little topheavy.

We got instructions with ours so can't help you there. We bought heavier shelves and put in since the ones that came with it would sag if too much weight was put on them.

Mine is standing on a carpet and I have a VCR (the heavier part) on the lower shelf and a DVD-Player on the second shelf. So it is sturdy. If you have three tier I don't know if it doesn't topple. Maybe you have to fix in at the wall.

Hello, it probably can stand freely without leaning against the wall, but you would probably want the extra support if you plan to put things on the shelves.

No, the shelves keep the unit from wobbling. You might be able to get by using just 2 shelves. I'd keep looking, I'm sure what you want is available.

It's pretty sturdy. I think I have 10 or 15 pounds at least on each shelf. I put the heaviest items on the bottom shelf. If you put a lot of weight on the shelves, I think it would be wise to install the wall anchor that came with your unit. I have not anchored mine, but the weight does not seem to cause the unit to be shaky or unbalanced. I think this unit is a good buy, especially at the price.

Dear friend,I did not secure it to the wall. It stands there stably. You are able to put something such as small piece of thin wood or sth. else underneath its front lower cornerpoints in order to make sure it is stable.

It is ABSLOLUTELY NOT designed for that. Shelf might be strong enough, but it would tip right over, in my opinion.

Don't quite understand what you mean by defective. Had no problem with mine. If the strength of the supports is not compromised I would tape them rather than go through the hassle of shipping it back.

The shelf corners hang from a vertical support arm (uprights?) that has a inch or two wiggle room. They connect to a brace that must be anchored into solid wood (ceiling joists) on either end of the vertical support arm. You'll need to install bolts from the outside so the shelf cannot be so close to the wall that you can't install, and tighten the bolt.There was a series of back and forth install steps that I needed to go through before I had the shelf put up properly, but I am happy I went with this product. It looks solid and dependable. Good Luck

I put mine together myself, but no, it doesn't seem to lean at all, it stand perfectly straight. You could potentially have a defect in your stand, either that or maybe you didn't get the screws in all the way?

I have one on a machine where it rests on the wall, but on another machine, the machine is too far out from the wall for it to rest on the wall, but the shelf still stays on top of the machine. The struts or supports help to stabilise it. Hope that helps.

The supports fit into openings on the bottoms and tops of the shelves so if you had more of each you could add another shelf. There are pre-formed holes so you can attach the unit to wall studs to make it more stable if desired.

The top shelf tends to bend with the weight of 3 pairs of shoes and might make the side boards bend inwards without the middle shelf making the sides straight. I ended up buying 2 units and removed the top shelf of one and put the other complete one on top of that. Either way, I don't put too much because of the shelf bending from the weight. Hope this helps.

I accidently started to remove the wrong screws on the pedestal to mount it. It started leaning immediately. I screwed them back and it was sturdy again. I would screw down the back two screws on top of the half round. see if this helps. Once I took the 4 screws off that are needed to remove the pedestal i could see that this is a very heavy piece and seem built well. You might also remove one of the four screws one at time to see if any are broken as they seemed a bit small for the large pedestal.
