If I lay it on a wood floor or carpet, will it destroy it? It looks like it's just a metal frame with no floor protection.

It is a metal frame. I don't think it would damage carpet, similar to having a piece of furniture on your carpet. As for hardwood floors, you would not want to scrape it . Mine is in our laundry room on a slate floor and we have not had any problems with movement.

We have not experienced any issues of this, it is possible that it could scratch the floor just like with any metal material.

Yes. It will damage the floor. Not significantly but it would damage the floor.

No problem. The plastic cover just comes off by lifting it a bit and pulling off at the height the unit is installed. It does not get near the floor.

No, it only has plastic on the bottom. Works fine on my carpet, not sure how it would do on a wood floor.

It might possibly be more stable on plush carpet than on hardwood. Heavy coats if not hung & removed carefully will probably still cause it to topple though.

We put small flat wooden blocks under ours and they did not crack - we have carpeting. However, we also had to cut the wheels + a little more off of our bed frame, because the bed was too tall for me. It was either cut off the wheels + a little or get a ladder to for me to get in bed - we opted for the cut offs. :)

It's plastic--pretty thick. I don't think it would break falling to a carpeted floor (unless it was very thin with no padding under it). I would say it should be OK, otherwise.

there's a chance it will scratch the wood floor. We let my niece to slide down on a rug.

I have laminated wood flooring and have not had a problem. No damage as of yet.

I'm not sure how it would do on a wooden floor, I actually have carpet, but it didn't leave any marks on my ceiling or the carpet for that matter, so I think it should be fine!

The carpet wraps around all the edges of the structure, except the undersides of the platforms. I will also say the "Carpet" is more like thin furry cloth. It's pretty tough but there is no padding to it.

I wouldn't, after a few times of getting wet it will tear. It is paper it's not meant to be stepped on. I used some rubber (yes rubber) flooring that looked like wood from home Depot. It is really easy to use. You can score it with an exacto knife and then bend it until it breaks. Just clean the floor before you set it. no glue, padding, adhesive or anything required. Very durable And not terribly expensive. Hope this helps

I believe it would still scratch the hardwood floor. The wheels screw into a metal base inside the bars. However, you may be able to file down or have covered.

No, there is no protection, we do use ours indoors so we easily put rubber all weather stripping to protect the floors

Just threw it on the floor to see ... in my opinion, it looks like a throw on the floor. It wont stay flat unless no one walks on it. Perhaps if you put a different backing on it suitable for rugs?

It has rubber bumper like legs (3 or 4 stubs in a row) on the bottom of the rails so I don't think it would require a mat. I have it on carpet at this time so unfortunately, I haven't tried it on wood flooring.

Mine is on a tile floor. I do not think carpet would be bad but, if i were to put it on carpet I would go to Home Depot and get 4 tiles to place it on.Hope this helps.
