Has anyone put this on carpet? I'm curious if this conflicts the balance/integrity.

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

I think it might be better. The center legs tend to be light on a flat hard floor - unless you have a really BIG TV

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.

Yes! I have it on carpet. It was actually a concern of mine! The marble base is so heavy that the arc and lamp stay in place. It can sway if it is bumped, but it won't fall. I was just talking about this lamp today at dinner with a friend who is very interested in getting one. My comment- "This is one of the best designs ever!" The shade articulates also, so you can adjust the direction of the light. LOVE IT STILL!

Sorry, we didn't use it on carpet. Off the hardwood floor and the furniture though, it camp off easily

No. I have not had issue with this. Just don't leave it on for more than 3 or so weeks. I use it under newspaper near a parrot cage and change it once a month. It really keeps the carpet protected... I keep my house cool...Maybe with lots of heat or in the sun, it may be an issue. I would keep that in mind.

I have placed mine on carpet before and have had no problems. The unit itself doesn't seem to get very warm to the touch.

Actually I am also that it might harm the wood floor, so I use it on carpet. I must say that it is slippery so my remedy has been to put a rubber daisy (you know that you use to open jars) it fits right on the base and it keeps it from sliding around and I can still balance on it. I got it to improve my balance and I don't want to slip off of it. So that is my solution to the slipperiness.

I have not used it on carpet. However, it does have an attachment for carpet use.

So far, but I've mostly used it on carpet. I have a lot of hardwood floor, however, so I'll keep you posted.

I have mine set up on the carpet and am having no issues with it. You just need to make sure you use the leveling feet at the end so that everything is setting just right. took me about 5 minutes to get that just perfect.

It will not slide well on carpet. But a chair mat as you mentioned should do well. It is a very good chair.

It stands on its own on hard wood. I'm not sure about carpet but would assume the same. I personally like to put one or two strips of rubber on the front, underneath, to prevent any possible tipping forward.

Yes, it's stable to use on carpet. It was a really good buy and worth the price in my opinion. Enjoy!

I keep it on a tile floor. I think there would be safety issues in putting it on carpet. It is small and could tip over.

Hi. I think it is designed for a flat, smooth surface. Carpet tends to be uneven, regardless of the type, especially when someone steps on it. But I have not tried it on carpet, so perhaps it can serve your purpose. The squares are pretty secure when connected, so you may give it a shot, but I don't think they will stay put.

We do not have ours on a mat. It sits on outdoor carpeting with no padding. We like it just fine that way, and feel that padding might be excessive.

Absolutely. I have mine on carpet - in fact it's likely to be sturdier on carpet as you won't deal with any uneven flooring issues. We love this piece. Just take your time when putting it together. Pay close attention to the the way you install the middle shelf ensuring you install it with the finished surface towards the front as you won't be able to correct it later. But anyway, our is on carpet and it is 100% sturdy.
