Is it stable? I want to use to display clothing. Thanks!

It is fairly light weight and is stable without anything on it but I would doubt that it would work for displaying clothes o it---they would have to be balanced on both sides of the room divider and even then it might not be all that stable

It's stable, very pretty but not strong enough to display heavy clothing only lighter items.

I haven't used it yet but I bought one for my daughter and she uses it. I will ask her and get back to you.

I think it could hold clothes, especially if hung on both sides to balance weight. It's very lightweight, but strong.

We use it for a different purpose but I doubt that this will hold clothing etc as a display, not unless you have the base firmly hinged to some object.

It's very sturdy. I have books on the bottom shelf, three containers filled with DVDs on the second shelf, and I use the top shelf for items I want to display (ceramics, crystal, etc.). It's not wobbly and even when I tug on it to see if it'll tip it doesn't move.

To be honest, I'm not sure how much weight it can hold (not sure if you mean in it, or on it?). I currently have 4 stacks of folded clothes in it (waiting for a new chest of drawers to arrive) and it's no problem. I'm 200lbs. and I sit on it all the time while putting on socks and shoes. Feels sturdy. However, it's at the foot of our bed and used as an accent piece rather than in a living room where it would be used to sit on more regularly, so...?

It is not sturdy. However, it fits my needs and holds a lot of clothes. I am careful when rolling it so I'd has held up well for me.

That's a good question. I'd say I think it wouldn't have a problem up to two pounds or so. It's relatively well built for the money. Maybe more. What is it you're wanting to display?

It stands up pretty well, I'm sure if you just make it a straight line it'll fall but just have the outer ones cornered off it'll be fine. Ours is Like a half of pentagon shape and it stays up and hasn't fall off and we hang clothes on it too. It's pretty sturdy!

Hi Katrina. I was wondering the same thing... I found a seller on eBay who described it as holding up to 15 pounds. The Container Store supposedly sells them (9.99) so I'm going to try to swing by and pick a few up. Thinking that a few would make a display similar to the "Sapien" free-standing vertical metal bookshelves sold at "design within reach" and other places for $250. Ideally it won't crash. :) JD

I've used it for a couple of years now. As the base is solid and heavy, it is very stable. I have 2 Dell 21" monitors mounted on this.

I'm not sure how much weigh it can hold but .. I have lots of clothes on it and hasn't bent .. I'm actually thinking about buying another one.

I use this as a laptop/etc. desk. It is kind of of wobbly, but it is strong enough to hold a sewing machine (although I think it would shake if you sewed fast).

Its not sturdy if you need to hang a lot of stuff on it. Once you put it together its not easy to store unless you have a huge closet. The box it came in isn't very big and can stand in the corner, of course you'll be assembling and disassembling when you need it. One of mines is still in the box..going to try to sell it in a garage sale soon.

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.

Its very stable. I have each section stuffed with papers and heavy paper to make mailing labels. The bottom has 2 shelves which holds CD"S and additional accessories that I use for the printer. I keep this right next to the computer and printer.

I use it for my laundry stuff and it is stationary. I'm not sure I'd trust it to be sturdy enough for what you want to use it for.

It serves my purpose which is to store off season clothes. I don't use it continuously, but it is holding a fair amount of clothes. You do have to use a rubber mallet to assemble it. I think those people who did not had problems with tipping. If you carefully pull over the fabric, it will not rip. If you are not patient and force it, don't complain if it does rip.

The unit is quite sturdy. I have a ton of items on mine and have not experienced a single problem. It's also very attractive!

It would be stable but if you have a receiver, center speaker, TV, etc. it might be hard to move or drag into position. The stand itself is very heavy.
