Probably. I actually turned 2 on their sides to make a daybed with storage, so I don't know about standing them up on carpet. I can tell you they are HEAVY. I think if you assembled as instructed and maybe added a little wood glue in the joints, you'd be fine.

Absolutely. I have mine on carpet - in fact it's likely to be sturdier on carpet as you won't deal with any uneven flooring issues. We love this piece. Just take your time when putting it together. Pay close attention to the the way you install the middle shelf ensuring you install it with the finished surface towards the front as you won't be able to correct it later. But anyway, our is on carpet and it is 100% sturdy.

We bought it as a kid's bookshelves, it has been great but it is not very sturdy as it is cheap, the "wood" cracked after a little bit, we end up dumped it after a year or so. We did put lots of books on it, they are very heavy, I think if you only want to put light items on it, it should be ok.

I'm not exactly sure, but I have 2 of these bookcases and they are each loaded down by novels, heavy textbooks, and a few nicknacks and picture frames on the top. Also, I haven't nailed them into the walls like I am supposed to. They haven't failed me in over a year.

This piece of furniture is poorly made. I actually didn't have much luck with this item as it snapped into two. I definitely would not suggest anything heavy since I used it as a bookshelf. Each contained nothing more than paperbacks and it flopped. Hated it. Good luck!

Absolutely. They are very sturdy and can be easily moved when needed. Wont fall over or be pushed around like many bookends. Would be perfect for an open ended shelf with a free end where you wanted to put books all the way to the end.

I love this armoire. I have no problems with the sturdiness on carpet. I recommend it highly.

I can't answer this question directly. All I can say is that I have completely filled two bookcases with books, many of them heavier hardbacks, and have had no problems. I did put some shims under the front of the bookcases to prevent any possible leaning forward but that was a precaution - don't know if it was really necessary or not.

I have many text books and they fit easily in the shelves. I have 4 five shelves and 2 four shelves. Many of my books very heavy and the bookcases don't shift or sag. I really like them.

Actually, they are quite wobbly..and even worse on carpeting. Cosmetically they are very nice chairs...but IMO if you have a few drinks with these being as wobbly as they are, Id be careful....I would not seat someone over 200 lbs in them...they don't seem too sturdy...

Josette I first bought these cubes for my children to use as a bookcase when they were 4 yo. I built them in a 4 cube tall arrangement, and they worked fine. I did notice after time that the shelves with the heaviest books did sag about an inch, but I was never worried about it toppling over on my children. I did follow the precaution of putting the heaviest books on the bottom shelf, and mandating that the very top shelf was for Mommy only - and that shelf did get pretty heavy with all of their special books. Now the children are 7 yo., and I've reconfigured it into a get dressed / ready for school station configured very much like that Amazon picture only instead of 4 shelves the top two sections are baskets that hold their backpacks, etc. One of the best purchases I've made for them. Enjoy!

Yes! They are sturdy enough for books and easily assembled and look great for the price.

They are "OK". I wouldn't fill them with books and whatever weight is on them needs to be evenly distributed from the front of the shelf to the back, especially on the lower shelves. With just the one upright piece on either side instead of two, balancing the weight is more important.

My shelf stands fine on its own (even on my plushy thick carpet). It has paperbacks on all the shelves except the bottom. I put all the hardcovers on the bottom for added weight. The other bonus is that it comes with a clip where you can wall mount it as an additional option.

They hold up well. I also went to nursing school many years ago, but still have some of my texts, along with the book's I got when I went to further my education in psychology. I have had the bookcase for about 5 months and there are no signs of stress or sagging. I am well pleased for the price.

I have two of these shelves on carpet. My carpet isn't super thick but the base is very sturdy. The under-side of the base is the same as the top shelf so, If you look closely at the pic, you can see that there is a 3/4-1" lip which helps it lock onto my carpet. I have heavier items such as books on the bottom two shelves however, I wouldn't recommend placing heavy objects near the front corners of the upper shelves for fear of potential tipping. I have two kids running through my home and I've never had any issues with stability. I love these shelves and am considering buying two more for another room..

I have wood floor but I would think it's just as sturdy on carpet since it has little wheels on the bottom. The raisers make it a suitable height for taller beds, we have a king size bed that's pretty tall and have had no issues with height
