How stable is this machine? Does it rock or sway? Can it be set up on a carpeted surface or should the surface be solid like wood or concrete?

The machine is very stable. A very slight sway-hardly recognizable. I have it on a piece of carpet on the concrete floor in my basement. Carpeted surface should be fine.

I think it would be fine on carpet. It fits in the corner, so as long as no one pulls on it I think it would be sturdy.

I have found it very stable. It hasn't tipped on me yet. On carpet, wood, and really thick carpet I've had no problems

We use it on hard floors but also have rugs. It rocks great. It is lightweight, that's my only complaint with it.

We have ours on a hardwood floor -- it does not wobble. We did have it on an area rug on the hardwood initially but every time she did a kip the rug would slide forward, we have more stability on the hardwood. No carpet or concrete in the room we have this in, so can't compare those for you.

I have the stand on a thick carpet and find it very stable. It's a very solid piece of furniture. You can also adjust the legs a bit in case the surface where it is placed is not completely level.

It is stable and level but it can wobble if manually rocked. You can prevent that with a little wedge but I do not use one. It sits on my window ledge Hope that helps

My guess will be to agree with the answers already given, but mine also is wobbly on the carpet, so be careful if you have children or dogs running around!

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.

I use mine on the carpet and have never had a problem. So the answer to your question is yes, it is very stable. Even when my grandson was leaning on it.

Paul, we've been using it on a carpet. It has rubber footings front and back. Suspect it should be fine on hardwood but not sure. Both my wife and I use our rower regularly, great machine and workout. Very quiet.

My mom put it on a wooden cane and it did good on hard floors. Thick carpeting does make it difficult for any cane to stand. My mom shakes quite a bit so she really had to concentrate to get the cane to stand, so I would say as long as it is put down firm it will stand fine.

It does nit need to be bolted to the ground, putting on carpet is fine. Wouldo be more stable though on hard floor.

Excellent! I use it ONLY on my carpet. It's very sturdy, stable, but my 5 month old can move it even on the carpet. The wheels are big and can probably handle big pile. :) HTH

I have it on carpet and it wobbles a little but on a hard surface I don't think it will wobble at all.

I've had it on carpet and on hard surfaces. The rack remains stable on all.

We have it on a hard surface. It is very heavy and very well made. I think it would work just fine on carpet.
