I'm interested in buying this but it says it must be fixed to the wall, no fittings included. |

They'll almost certainly be fine free standing, particularly if you keep heavy stuff on the bottom shelf and lighter stuff on the top. They won't fall over of their own accord, just don't tip them. |

As long as you don't have kids. There was a few stories of non-free-standing Ikea chests of drawers that weren't fixed walls, and kids managing to topple them on to themselves, with undesirable outcomes. |

If it's flat pack and each one of those vertical bars just stacks on top of the one below, it'll be wobbly as all fuck without crossbeams or an anchor. It'll still stand up fine, just don't put anything heavy on the top, and make sure it's on a level bit of floor. |

Raeburne-Fold-Out-Convertible-Wall-Mount-Desk---Gr.jpg Not OP. I bought one of these wall-mounted foldaway desks. Only now I've realised the wall I wanted to mount it to is plasterboard and it's far too heavy for that. It's currently sitting on the floor, waiting for me to, I dunno, buy it some legs I guess. |

The desk weighs 19kg lads, I can barely lift it myself - I'm just not confident of the plasterboard wall taking the weight regardless of the fixing. I'll investigate finding the studs (joists?) with magnets. |

It must be fixed to a sturdy wall (not just screwed into dry wall without anchors) if you want it to be solid, but if can be sure no toddler will try to climb it and you follow above given advice about heavy at the bottom, light at the top you'll be ok. Pretend its Jenga and the damn thing wants to topple over, basically. |

This thread is making me wonder why you don't just buy a cheap flatpack. A steel and plastic combo would likely be more sturdy than what you're looking at, and can be found for a tenner (without delivery): https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/hyllis-shelving-unit-in-outdoor-00278578/ |
