I want to put these in a small classroom that already has carpet. Would they work? The carpet now is very worn and cannot be replaced.

in my opinion I think these would work just fine. If the carpet is thin underneath. I have my tiles over uneven floor and it molds nicely on top. But just to let you know, the colors I received are neutral and NOT bright so if you are looking for bright tiles for your classroom, it may not be the right tiles for you. The quality is great though.

I have mine on a hard floor and they are very stable. Don't know about on a carpet.

I put mine on plywood (6-8 mos ago), so I can't say for sure. If memory serves me correctly, they were VERY sticky/tacky. Guessing you are talking about a flat, commercial feel carpet? I would guess they would stick, but if you are talking about very serious wear & movement by those on the squares (yoga class, day care etc), think I'd be pretty cautious....good luck!

I don't think that would be a good use for this product. This product is too lightweight to hold a carpet. You need a carpet-specific product for that. I use these strips for crafts in general - paper and so on - and they are effective for that. They are not heavy duty at all. I hope that's helpful.

I think it depends on the carpet. Normal carpet: no problem. I have carpet and it works fine. Shag or heavy carpet may be a problem.

Yes, they work fine on carpet or floor. If you have a few locked together on carpet, they don't slide.

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.

I don't think they're made for carpet. They stick very well to textured sheet rock walls. my daughter uses them for when she needs to get up in the middle of the night. they're perfect for what we need. i wouldn't think they'd stick very long to carpet

I believe carpet will quickly wear and readjust the felt. These are okay for hardwood floors, but not great. They wear unevenly and have to be replaced at least twice a year with daily use. Beware these are extremely difficult if not impossible to install on hardwood furniture.

No, they are a very light material and inexpensively made. They are not designed for long term use or classroom use.

Would not do any good, nor any harm. These are felt pads made for furniture use on hard floors. They are not gliders for use on carpet.

For a tile floor you would use only the ones with the felt side down. In this set the four felt side down ones are relatively small. They might work. An alternative would be to cut some 6 inch squares from thick carpet remnant and us them like you would the sliders, with carpet side down- backing up.

They will definitely not 'slide' on carpet; however, it is doubtful that the felt will come off. In your case, I would just use these on the two legs that are on the hardwood floor and see how that works for you. For the two legs on the carpeted area, you may want to place non-felt pads such as sliders to make the chairs easier to move without lifting.

They should be fine for your class room. The best quality I have seen out there so far. Why woukd you think the quality would be different between the 4 and 6 PC sets? Its the same product, right? Just a different quantity?

Probably not... they are super small and so unless your carpet was flat like office carpet then they probably won't roll very well. They would work better than nothing, but a larger wheel would roll better, I think, on standard carpet.

Yes, they are very sturdy and easy to assemble. I have short shag carpet and there are absolutely no worries, as they are quite heavy when assembled. You have to put them where you want them and leave them!

Yes, but they are tiny wheels...do not roll well on carpet. The unit is extremely heavy. I have to use furniture sliders to move it around. That's why I leave it in one place :)
