Can the pole be installed on carpet?

Yes it can be installed on carpet. Simply put it sits on top of the rug and is held by the tightening/ tension of the pole. It works quite well

I wouldn't set on carpet directly. May impead air flow. You could probably set it on something to get off the carpet like a mat or piece of plywood.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you'd want to play it on a hard surface rather than carpet. This would help with the air flow aspect.

I would say that it could be. You would just need to take care to trim around it nicely or mount the faceplate over the carpet (may need to trim away a bit of the padding if it is too thick, which would also give the benefit of having it sit below the surface), but i see no reason why it could not be mounted over a carpeted floor. The faceplate mounts with four brass wood screws that are pretty long (~2 inches). If your carpet were deeper, the only thing you might need to do is buy longer screws.

I have not used it on a carpet, but I think it would be fine. It is sturdy, but just remember not to lean on the handle, as it may tip. I have seen some reviewers say it tips, but that must be because they lean on the handle. The handle gives you extra security when you stand on it. Hope this helps.

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.

No. It has to be placed on a level, hard surface. You can use it in a bathroom if you have carpet everywhere else.

You can't use this on a carpet (only on a hard surface). but you can put it in your bathroom.

It needs to be on an elevated surface, otherwise you will be sitting on the floor. The legs are only about 4 inches off the ground. Otherwise yes, you can put it on carpet. Hope that helps.

Yes, it seems very stable on our carpet. The lamp pole and lights are very light and the base is heavy. One other thing. The light is actually very bright. We are looking for a way to dim it. Normal dimmers do not work. Some lamps have built in dimmers which might be an advantage.

I have never tried to install these gripper treads over carpet. I put them outside on the stairs where it gets slippery. I don't think they were designed or intended for carpet but I'm sure you could try it if you had a good staple gun or something.

Yes. You tighten it up with a huge threads on the inside of the pole. There is rubber on both ends that will keep it from sliding on the carpet. Because you will have it stretched tight into the ceiling and carpet it won't move. You'll end up with an indention on the carpet as if a heavy piece of furniture was setting there. The pole is easy to assemble and easy to move around until you find the perfect spot for it. We own 6 of them. I highly recommend it. The ones we have do not have any attachments...like arms...on the poles.

There is adhesive on both. I guess it would depend on the length of the carpet.

Yes it is. I have used mine on carpet all the time with no problems at all. Very sturdy!

I use mine on carpet...no problems so far. I don't have the instructions handy to confirm that carpet is OK.

I don't see why not as long as you remove the rubber spikes on the base which help make it more stable on carpeting. I certainly would try it if I felt I needed more stability...D.F.

Yes you can put it on top of the carpet with or without its supplied cover.
