I want to use these for a bed that is on carpet. I see that half of the risers are non-slip. How do I stack them?

i think as long as you have the non-slip ones are on the bottom you'll be okay. the problem i ha was that stacking too many made it a little unwieldy. if you need a just a couple inches you should be okay.

Yes they can...that is how I have used mine. If you look closely at the picture of the assembled riser there is a hole in the center and the roller will sit in that. Its a little tricky getting all four rollers in the risers...not difficult just tricky. But once they are set, they hold steady and firmly and the added space leaves plenty of room for storing things...Mine have been in place for months, just love them.

Strangely enough I moved my friend's cal king bed using them. It was really easy and we didn't even use them correctly. The bed will seem really low to the ground unless you properly use the middle hook for our heights.Cover the bed with some junk sheets just in case, but I had no issues. Ez

They are not stackable. One could probably do it, but they would be unstable and fall. They are fragile and would break.

They are not locked to the platform, but if you pull the risers outward to the end of the platform, then gently jiggle the unit once it is stacked, all of the risers will fall neatly into place in the grooves of the platform, and the step will stay put. I think that users' problems with stability stem from not ensuring that the risers and platform are lined up before they step on. A few seconds of taking initial care should eliminate any stability issues. (fyi, I find that set-up of this unit works easiest on a hard floor surface, rather than carpeted, since with the non-skid base, it is a bit more difficult to slide the risers into position on carpet. Not insurmountable, it still functions perfectly, it just makes set-up a little more difficult.)

I don't know if I would recommend stacking two without placing some sort of mat for stability between them. The tops and bottoms of these are metal and my only fear is them sliding against one another. With a mat, though, they shouldn't have a problem.

You have a total of 8" to play with for a set of 8 risers. You could raise the head of the bed 3" and the foot only 1".

I have round wheels on my bed and these risers work fine. Make a huge improvement in storage space under the bed. I have 2 risers on each leg.

I'd look closely at the photos of the risers and decide if they will stay in place when "gliding". I believe the stability would be okay because the risers are pretty strong, but they may slide on the floor unless you're on carpet or other non-slick floor. Good luck.

You are suppose to wedge them in between the mattress and foundation. They didn't work for us since we have a platform bed and no box springs.

There is no provision for stacking them. They would probably be a bit unstable if you stacked them. A handy person could probably do it, but I would not recommend it!

I use all the risers. I weight 200+ pounds and have used it for over a year. I have tried it with and without the risers. It isn't less stable with the risers.

I havn't tried stacking them...but I think they would stack very well...the rubberized material on the top would keep them from sliding, and there isn't anything that would interfer with the drawer opening/closing.

The weight of the bed itself shud keep them from moving around too much, if at all. I believe the space in the indent is 2 or 3 inches squared, so the possibility of the bed moving around IS there. The key word to remember here is INDENT. The indent does have a raised lip all around of maybe a half inch. Truly I wud not worry at all about it. These are VERY strong and durable risers. I am actually using them for my entertainment center which is holding over $2000 worth of equipment. I am not worried in the least.

We bought two risers and used all the legs on one of them to make the riser high enough. There are no indentions on top of the riser or a way of securely putting the legs on top of the riser to add another level w/o it sliding off.

Hello, unfortunately we're unable to split a pack of these risers. You're welcome to buy two packs if needed, however. Regards.

Since there are no sharp edges, I think it is perfectly safe to place these risers on a carpet. Of course, as with every heavy object placed on a carpet, especially for an extended period of time, an indentation will be unavoidable.
