How stable is this stool? Is the base weighted? Does it tip over easy?

We ordered four of these for the wrap around bar in our game room. Put them all together Christmas Eve morning in less than an hour. During the holidays, we hosted many gatherings. The base is quite heavy. I would say, with all our company, there were no tip overs. They are wide enough to compensate that issue. This stool has to be stable as it has held a few that were 250 - 300 lbs very comfortably. It's March now and they look like brand new. Our guests like the fact of the adjustable height. Very easy.

This stool has a large round base that doesn't tip over, it is not weighted but is very stable not as light weight as it looks. We are seniors and feel very safe sitting on these stools.

I agree with the other answer. Base is heavier than it looks, and wide enough for stability, but the stool remains light enough to pick up and move easily. I am small and find the stool very comfortable, but even my 6'2" son says he has never had any problem with the stool.

I have never even had to worry about it tipping. I don't raft where it's very rough though. Very stable.

It's pretty stable, I haven't had any problems with it tipping over. I love my lamp, the only thing that slightly bothers me are visible light bulbs. I can see the light bulbs slightly below the lamp shade.

It doesn't tip over at all. There's a clear plastic base that supports it. You probably can't see it very well in this pic.

Very sturdy. May tip over easily tho. Would be easy to add a nice base to it.

It doesn't tip or collapse if not full, it's flat on the bottom so it is fairly stable.

No.....it isn't weighted but I don't have a problem with it falling over....I set it on a plastic container to get extra height so I don't have to bend over and I love it!!

It's stable. We load it up with heavy winter costs, and it doesn't tip, but the poles themselves are not solid- they're lightweight.

It is very sturdy and won't tip. It has a five prong/leg base which keeps it very stable.

It is pretty light, and can be knocked over easily. I use it behind me as a backdrop while I am on video camera for work, and it has not fallen over once. Just depends on how you want to use it.

While it is not super heavy, it is substantial. I haven't seen it tip over even once

The chair is very stable. My younger one is 4 right now and is very very active, yet she never managed to tip the chair over

I'm not going to say it WON'T ever tip over, but our one-year-old grandson does fine with it, and it hasn't tipped. It's very sturdy and has a wide base...I'm not at all concerned.

I have found it very stable. It hasn't tipped on me yet. On carpet, wood, and really thick carpet I've had no problems

My mother was 275# and I made sure it was at its' lowest height for stability. She also has a grab bar and the bathtub/shower is pretty tight proportionally - so it would be difficult for it to tip. The stool is made of very thick interlocking plastic components - unlike a plastic patio chair, so it is very sturdy.

Yes, I love this stool. It was a tad to high for me so a friend cut the legs down and it's perfect. It's great for someone over 200 lbs. Don't know why I would be asked if it's ok for someone over 200 lbs, but I would be careful if U are over 300. It swivels great and it's perfect for me. I also had better feet put on. Those feet they have on the stool are plastic and can be very slippery on certain floors. I got good rubber feet on the stool. Also, the screws do come loose and I had one fall off.

The base is weighted, but it is still pretty lightweight. Unfortunately though it does not always stay up if there is a breeze blowing. Light breeze, it can - but a little stronger and it tends to fall over.
