How would this stand fare when on thick carpets such as Berber carpets? Is it on.y for flat surfaces like wood floors?

I'm not 100% sure! but it does have leveling feet, so if it's against a wall! I think it can be made both level and stable. BDI is an excellent manufacturer, so I'm sure that they can give the correct answer, and perhaps provide any special techniques to insure correct operation. I have many pieces of their furniture, and all are well designed.

I believe it would work fine. It is an excellent product and I don't see any problems with using it on carpet.

This is pretty thin, so I if there are any lumps or bumps under it you would notices. So I wouldn't put it on a thick carpet, I would recommend using this on short carpet or tile/wood floor.

Depends on the carpet. On Berber it's okay, as it is on short pile. Remember, it is just "okay."

I don't know why not - assuming we are not talking about some thick shag carpeting. If you are planning on put this swivel stand on the floor, I think the TV set and the VCR/DVD player would be too low down to be of much practical use. A small table would be a better place to put this stand. Mine is on top of a dresser in a spare bedroom.

no, not really, if your carpet or floor is not level, then maybe, but it has a iron weight underneath it that keeps it steady, you need to keep in mind, that these stands are apparently built for space saving, as such they are small and light, but for me, they are very good for the price size and quality, I don't think you would be disappointed.

My family room has a berber carpet (that's getting pretty filthy) and the lightness of this model concerns me re: cleaning that type of rug. To get my handvac to suck up the dirty water I really lean on it to increase its ability to suction. I suspect that as far as berber carpet goes, its best to get a heavier (industrial) machine, as I don't think you can push down on an upright to get it to suction better. I'll check this at the Hoover retail store near me and post a reply later.

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.

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

Yes, the wheels have to be assembled onto the stand, so you could skip that step. That said, the stand isn't designed to sit on the floor, and it might have sharp edges (where the wheel-holes are or on the corners of the stand feet, that would scratch the floor. I suspect it would be fine on carpet, but your mileage may vary.

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

The legs are wide, but it depends on the thickness of your carpet padding. Very little is stable on carpet. This isn't heavy, so if you put too much on the stand, it could tip.

It works great. I have carpet and porcelain tile and area rugs. I have some fringe (short) on two rugs and it's fine with those, it doesn't get caught. It makes the transition to all heights without a problem. The rugs that slide around (without rubber bottom) it tends to push them out of the way.

We have a berber carpet and it is hard to push it along, but it works well. It has great suction which makes it harder to push and pull, plus side is you know it is working and sucking dirt up. We don't have an overheating problem. Not having a height adjustment is the biggest flaw.

Yes. We have one on in our Master Bedroom and the room has fairly thick carpet. I have had no problems with it standing by itself. I have even put heavy books on top (not really recommended, I am sure!) and it has stayed upright with no sign of tipping (over). It's been good to (for) me!

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

I use it on my Berber carpet in hall, dining and living room and have not had any problems. The tines of the brush are not so rigid. They do seems to 'fluff' the carpet a bit but not damage it. I use the rake almost every day but am not rough with it.

The spikes supplied are used when stands are placed on carpet. Use flat for hardwood or non carpet floors.
