Why carpet under it? Was thinking of using it in the bathroom for ect stuff

Because the kickstand thing in the bottom middle to keep it stable is not sturdy and wiggles around. If its on carpet, it seems like it doesn't move around as much because of the grip. I found that putting it on my hardwood floors, the shelf would wobble.

Hmmmm... it might get tangled up. Basically if it gets tangled up in things, it just stops in place and waits for you to resolve it. For me, dryer sheets that make it under my bed will do it every time. I also close my bathroom doors every day when I leave because it can end up getting tangled in my bath mats, basically grabbing a corner of it. However, it might be fine on that and just go over it. If the rug is heavy enough, it might be fine.

It should be just fine that way. The vents are in the rear halfway up so carpet would not obstruct circulation. It does not do well in a cabinet. I have mine in one anyway and used cooling fans for A/V equipment to supplement ventilation and it works great now.

It is great for storing, but I think it would rip easily with handling or sliding across anything but carpet. It should still keep it clean though.

It is downstream you can tell by the cap for the floor board. so its under the carpet.

Under, we put it under the mattress pad in case you have a leak diaper or baby get sick, you don't want it getting on the pad.

I put an old sheet underneath it just incase that happened. I have light carpet too. So far the sheet has protected.

very dangerous to run a cord under an rug. get a longer cord and run it around the room. Its safer.

I think you *could* use it for that, but since it is in fairly skinny strips it might be more difficult to install than larger sheets of carpet. I also don't think it would last more than a year or so though, since it is pretty thin.

What would be the purpose? It perfectly matched my Dodge Chargers trunk carpeting. Removing the carpeting would be easy but serve no purpose.

Mine is about that and it slides under quite easily and mine is on carpet. You shouldn't have any issues with it...

I put it on the inside of the door, but there's no carpet on the floor. It depends on which way the door opens, though. If I were you, I'd probably put it on the outside (concrete floor, hidden).

It will do fine under a carpet. Electrical fires are usually caused by the extension cord being overloaded, IE a large appliance plugged into a skinny extension cord. You may still have a trip hazard if this rug is in a high traffic area.

I have one under mine but mine is on laminate flooring. If it were on carpeting, I would put something. I put 2 rubber mats, one under front and one under back.

Ebelle, I don't think it would work as I think it could cause possible tripping. I personally would not use on carpet. Good luck.

It is a carpet with cardboard underneath. My cats shredded it in short order.

You might if you have hardwood. We live on the 2nd floor and my landlord lives below us. My son has been using his since october and he hasn't said anything about it. We have carpet though.
