    No way no how! It's not very wide, so it would VERY easily tip over with a child pulling on it or climbing. It could kill a child if it fell on them I think.

    I remember reading that you can anchor it to the ceiling.

    Sure if I didn't have kids or had older kids. It just screams "CLIMB ME!!!" Even if it isn't your child, it would be some friend of dc doing the climbing. I am constantly amazed on what other people's kids do (good and bad).

    Okay. I'm convinced that my gut reaction was right!

    I think we'll build an anti-tip device to install with it. Should work.

    If one end is against the wall, then you can anchor that end. It definitely MUST be anchored though - I could see it being easy to tip over!

    ETA: didn't read carefully enough that you have concrete walls - you can use masonry screws for that, I think.

    We finally got this and put it up last weekend and then banned the kids from the basement . DH worked on it today and has it attached to the ceiling joists with 2x4 wood. I think it's not going anywhere.

    Now I can't wait to get my huge box from The Container Store so I can organize this one and the one in DS's room!
