Does this shelf have to be bolted to the wall?

It has extra support at the bottom and does not have to be bolted to the wall. I have mine set up on carpet and haven't had any problems with it.

Not really, but if you live in earthquake-ville like I do then you probably should. It leans on the wall so it won't fall forward but could fall to the side if really jostled around. If you're looking for a quality piece don't buy this -- it's compressed wood with a stain on it. Poorly made and very rickety. The shelves don't stay level either, they shift because they're only held at one point on each side. I wish I had just invested in a bit more money and purchased the ones from Pottery Barn.

Nope. It easily leans against the wall. I don't have it bolted and it's stable

unless you have kids that climb, no. I have had it since my daughter was two, but she knows not to climb and it has never been an issue. I dont think it would hold the weight of a child anyway.

Each shelf need horizontal bars to keep the vertical bars connected. You don't need to put the wood in but all the frame must be in just like the picture.

They are not bolted into the wall but installed with an adjustable tension rod system. They recommend bolting it into the window framework also for added security, but it is really not necessary unless you are putting some pretty heavy pots on the shelves. They include bolts also which can be screwed in thru the holes in the black side adjusters. I have had mine up for months with just using the tension mount and it fits pretty snug.

No. It bolts to a wall. It could be bolted to a table but definitely needs to be secured.

No. I used the plugs that were provided and attached the unit into the wallboard. I have had no problems and the shelves are reasonably well loaded up with components.

The shelf and hardware are included. You will need a drill with a Phillips head bit and a partner to hold the assembly in place while you attach it.

Jacqueline, yes assembly is needed. The frame slides out from a rail attached top and bottom; it is not attached to the wall. Top and bottom rails need to be fixed in place. We bolted the bottom to the floor of the closet and the top to a fixed shelf. It has been working well.

You do not absolutely need to bolt it down, BUT do you really want to put something like a TV on a moving shelf that is not secure to it's foundation. Will it move and swivel without securing it to something . . . YES, is it very risky to do so . . . YES, would I recommend it . . . NO.

I wouldn't think so because it mounts flush to the wall, but we placed our tv in a corner on a swivel mount and the shelf is mounted just to the right.

No. There is a mounting board that you screw into the wall. Then, the shelf sits onto that piece. You can then screw the shelf into the studs for further support. Essentially, it mounts like toungue-in-groove flooring.

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

No, this loft/shelf needs to be secured to something in order for it to support the weight of whatever you decide to place on it.

No. The shelves are resting on pins and would fall sideways. The bottoms of the shelves are not finished. You'd need to paint them and screw them in place to place the unit sideways.

Yes it is. This is our second lazy susan. We put too much weight on the top on the first one and it cracked under the weight. You could through bolt it . Just don't overload top shelf. Hope this helps and sorry it took so long to respond.

There are grooves that the shelf sit in so it cannot be moved. I am not sure if it would diminish the stability if you left the shelf out.

? On the actual shelf? Or the wall beneath it? I'd be more confident in the wall installation. You screw in a bracket with 2 screws and then slide the nice piece onto it and secure with a little screw. If you don't plan to overload the rod, then you could probably get away with it.
