Does it stand up on carpet? And can it be used to help you up from a seated position?

This was purchased for my mother and not myself. It does stand up on carpet with no problem, but I would imagine helping you up from a seated position would depend more on how good your knees work. The cane is nice and sturdy.

Yes. My wife is a stroke patient. She uses it to stand also. Strong and sturdy.

Yes it will stand up on carpet it has a quad base. I can not give you advice on the second part of you question not knowing your complete medical condition. This is a very sturdy Cane.

Yes, it does well on low-pile carpet. Yes, I used it to help aid myself up and down from a sitting position while recovering from a severely shattered ankle. However, while it is quite sturdy it still is a cane and has limitations as such. When I needed more help with mobility and aid where the support structure was guaranteed to bear my full weight without moving, I used a walker.

Yes, I have used it to stand. As for carpet, I don't have any, but it does well on kitchen mats.

yes. I brought it for my son. So he uses it all the time for sitting on the couch. He does change the height for standing, but not often. If you are a jack rabbit, like me, I am always up and down, it might get tiresome. But if you leave standing to should work fine. The price is good. PS I have a rolling, adjustable standing/sitting desk with a hydralyic level, but is was $300.00. It was worth it because I was developing hip/back problems and I use the computer constantly for work.

Once it is open you just rest your feet or foot on it. I bought it to use on an airplane and it doesn't work very well for me. I am 5'1" tall and it slides too much on the carpet in the airplane. Still it is better than nothing and I plan on trying to fix the sliding issue with a DIY fix.

I use mine on carpet...no problems so far. I don't have the instructions handy to confirm that carpet is OK.

Hi. I think it is designed for a flat, smooth surface. Carpet tends to be uneven, regardless of the type, especially when someone steps on it. But I have not tried it on carpet, so perhaps it can serve your purpose. The squares are pretty secure when connected, so you may give it a shot, but I don't think they will stay put.

You can stand up but it might be uncomfortable as you'd have to bend over. It is really meant to be used while sitting. Works great. I love mine.

I returned mine as a friend had bought me one as a gift. It works well on either floor or carpet. A few ladies in my rehab class had this cane & my therapist recommended it above others. I was recovering from knee replacement surgery as was worried about my balance. Because the bottom is like a foot it is stable & supportive.

If you're meaning "stand by itself"? On the vinyl, probably ok, but doubtful on the carpet, depends on the pile and design. It will stand on most flat surfaces. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get it to stand alone. I love mine and enjoy walking with it.

in my opinion, no, it does not. the self standing feature is not as good either. my cane tips over easily with this tip, and don't even try standing it on an uneven surface either. i would not recommend it to someone that is really serious about their cane not hitting the floor.

HI....I don't see why it wouldn't work on carpet. It will stay stationary wherever you put it. Hope this helps.

we don't have carpet, but i think it would do very well. it can climb over a pillow or a blanket.

No, it doesn't stand up by itself really. The hard bottom does help and it depends on the balance of the items inside but it's not meant to stay upright.

Should work fine on a carpet. You need to have it like an accordian, not straight, it'll just fall over. If something bumps into it with some heft it'll fall over, but if not bumped, stays up fine.

Nope, we have ours on carpet and it feels pretty stable. If you had a child fall into it or were moving it around, possibly, but we've had it for almost a year and have never had it fall over. It's survived a few earthquakes too.

i bought it for my mother so i don't use it,it does stand alone but i don't think it would stand well on thick carpets as the bottom pad is curved slightly

Depends on the kind of carpet I think I just put this on our semi-shag for a test, it is wobbly. But with heavy equipment it might work. Good luck

it can be set up on carpet. Its very light weight and easy to set up. But be warned, it doesn't handle to road life very well. Very fragile. But for the price I have no regrets :)
