could an elderly person that does not have a lot of strength put this up and down? And is it sturdy enough for heavy rugs?

I think it would depend on how high it is. I really like the line but make sure when you install it you have cleanse to bring it up around 10 inches or you won't be able to put it down. It is easy if you have the clearance.

Yes, it doesn't take much strength at all to put this up and down. As far as the heavy rugs....haven't tried that yet, but, it does hold lots and lots of laundry with no problem whatsoever. I would contact the manufacturer regarding the rugs and the amount of weight.

This unit is raised and lowered very easily, if installed correctly. It holds the weight of regular laundry just fine. I don't think I would try to hang more than one large wet rug on it.

If you are in your 50's & 60's and healthy then it shouldn't be a problme putting this up yourself. It's not simple assembling like some Ikea products as you need to have some DIY knowledge and conversant with tooling to mount this. It will require measuring and drilling. You will also need some tools and raw bolts or eqivalent (which are not supplied in the package) to secure the hangar onto the wall. Hope these info help.Cheers

I bought one for my 60 lb. dog and she has no problem getting up and down. It has carpet on it so that they can keep their grip. I love mine!

Well, I'm an elderly lady of 75, and I'm managing with it. I am somewhat handicapped, and I will be honest the stool is a bit heavy, but considering the safety factor, it's well worth the money. I haven't got a scale large enough to weigh it, so I guess you'll just have to ask the manufacturer.

I use it for my laundry stuff and it is stationary. I'm not sure I'd trust it to be sturdy enough for what you want to use it for.

We have a fairly thick carpet and its fine. It has a wide enough base to be pretty stable. My husband puts lots of clothes on his--he loves it!

Yes it is sturdy, although if placed on carpeting it may wobble a bit if you have padding under the carpet.

Someone who weighs 175-200 could STEP on it, and it probably wouldn't break, but it's not for heavy use. We keep it by our tall bed, just for climbing in and out at night.

I have it on tile in my bathroom right now and it stands perfectly. It is pretty sturdy, so I imagine it would stand okay on thick, dense carpet, but may be a bit unbalanced on shag.

I don't think it would be too strong, but on rugs it is like any other vacuum, when you get close to the edges it will get sucked up and you have to turn if off to release it.

Yes, but depending on the height/plush of the carpet, it may or may not be very stable. If you can lean it against something, it would be better. Otherwise, I would recommend splurging on the divider stand as well.

Def NOT. They are very lightweight as they are acrylic. I have min on a low pile shag rug and while it is sturdy and doesn't fall, its not an everyday use sort of item. They can easily tip if the child leaned back.

If it's on wood floor, yes it's sturdy enough. If it's on rug, not stable enough.

Its very "effective" if you don't want it to move; however if you want it to move on a medium-pile rug you'll have to give it a lil kick as the item is heavy and doesn't move easily.

I bought it for my mother 90, and she loves it, uses it constantly...no problem on carpets; her living room, bedroom and hallway are carpeted.

The carpet cleaner did not seem to heavy although I never had it completely together because I had to send it back for being damaged as soon as I removed it from the box. There was a piece broken off preventing me from securing the handle into the bottom unit. I would imagine that, after getting water in it, that it would become much heavier though and more difficult for an older woman to handle.

sort of a trick question . sturdy yes I can say so, my wife and I are big people I'm 6 foot she is 5 '8" I don't think I have ever heard it squeak the way it is assembled on carpet it will not move . No problem

I've not used it for anything except embroidery (it's great for that!). However, I have hooked rugs in the past and I wouldn't use this frame for a rug because I don't think it is strong/heavy enough.
