can it be used on top of carpeting?

I have mine on top an area floor rug. I do watch it to ensure it doesn't get hot but so far it's been fine.

You'll want to avoid any use that causes it to flex much. The suggestion to use rigid ceramic tiles underneath it is good. If you're just resting your feet on it while you sit at a desk and not putting your full weight on it, then it might be ok on top of 'soft' carpeting.It can discolor varnished wood floors if in direct contact!

No, it is not recommended to be placed directly on carpet or wood floors. What we have done (we have wood floors) is just bought two 12 x 12 porcelain/ceramic tiles to put underneath it. This product works very well - always use shoes, slippers or socks or your feet will be too hot!

I use it on industrial carpeting. I've had it for almost a year with no issues. I love it!

The manual specifically says not for wood/carpet floor use. That does not mean you cannot use it that way, but if you do so and something goes wrong, you can blame nobody but yourself.

I have with no problem using it on the carpet, but it's not really a quality made product... There is no auto-off switch (which I think could be dangerous), on the other hand, I foolishly left it on a couple of times overnight, and the place didn't burn down. Also, the on/off switch light is on in either position. Given all that, I LOVE this thing! When my feet are painfully cold it just rocks!! So, that's my experience. I hope it's helpful. Cheers! -Mark

It can be used on carpet, but the thicker the pile the harder it will be to move across the surface of the carpet. This walker is best on hard flooring.

In general yes if you put it on most carpets or rugs. However, if you use it with a small portable ballet barre, it requires precise maneuvering to for exact placement.

The instructions say it will work on carpet, but I have a carpet shampoo system already so have not tried it on carpet.

I use mine on carpet, but the carpet is thin not plush and it works fine, hope that helps!

Yes, it should be fine on your carpet. We've had it on carpet. Currently using it on tiled floor. It's perfectly elegant and due to the substantial size and opaque fabric, blocks the view nicely. It looks like a quality piece. We position it properly (not too straight) and it has never, ever tipped over. It only moves if we move it/bump it.

Not likely. It's not that stable on my laminate, so it standing on a carpet might present a challenge for the one using it

Not for carpet. too light to put on carpet and I can see it will slide which can be dangerous.

It could, however it is large. Also, the one I got came with a sandpaper type surface, not the carpeting - I would rather have the carpet for my dog to get better traction. You might be able to find something not quite so large and heavy - my dog is 60-65 lbs.

I haven't used it on carpet. But I assume if U put one of those plastic chair mats down, that it should work fine.

I used it on carpet with mixed success. It didn't really every stay totally flat. Granted, I didn't use any adhesive, but it has a permanent curl in it from packaging, so unless you can use some kind of sticky tape to keep it down, I'd agree that its not great for carpets.

Yes. It just wouldn't look as nice. I just use it to protect the carpet. It is easy to clean and is tough. A large rug would work also.

I have not tried it on carpet but it works so well on fabric, I would not be afraid to try. Good luck.

Yes. It would not work on carpeting. I have vinyl floors and so does my daughter in law as this was a gift for my grandson. Beware--it is noisy but the kids love it.

Short answer is I'm not sure. I have mine on carpet over wood flooring, and it is just fine.

Probably not well. The top of my desk is glass and I did try it -- it needed more friction as the roller couldn't grip. As for carpet, shorter types might work, but I'd stay away from longer versions.

It has absorbent material on top with a thin film of plastic on the bottom. If you use it on carpet, it would have to be taped down. I would not recommend using this for on top of carpet. The plastic film would pose a slipping hazard as it would move easily across the carpet even if taped. It is also relatively thin and might tear easily.
