    My suggestion is to bolt the stand to a flat plate which rests on the
    floor and then anchoring the plate to the floor. The plate should
    take up some of the forces and won't rock because it's flat. That
    should keep the back and forth stresses from loosening the anchors
    holding the plate into the floor (use BIG LONG bolts). I have a fence
    post that was anchored into concrete for a gate and it has worked
    loose just from the dogs jumping against it. A plate or block at the
    base of it would have kept it still longer. But alas I wasn't asked
    my opinion. And I could be wrong. But it makes sense to me.
