Does this leave any marks at all on the ceiling? I will be in an apartment soon and want this, but it can't leave any marks or damage behind.

It did not leave any marks on my ceiling. I guess it depends on the apartment on what type and color of paint it uses.

Not that I have noticed. It ha a rubber tip, and if you install it from top down it should work well.

I wish I had some dark paste, because I have dark colored floors. I've been using the light paste on mine. But my guess is, unless you have serious scratches on your light floor, the dark paste shouldn't affect your color. It would only do that if there was a scratch to penetrate. Otherwise, it's just a wax finish

I have mine in the shower and it has permanently stained the floor of my shower, I have been unable to scrub out the stain where it sits. But it has not scratched it, even when it occasionally shifts.

Just inspected area and I don't see any damage. We don't hang heavy items on it though.

No marks on wooden floors. Not sure what kind of marks would be left on carpet. Depends on the nap of the carpet, then it's just a matter of running the vacuum over it to bring it back up. I use it mainly for shopping and long walks/rides. So it isn't an issue for me

I love mine, however, I have mine mounted to the ceiling to finish off my New Orleans flare !! I needed some bling & it has delivered. If I sell this house, it's getting removed & taken with me

Hi, I actually just put this one on the floor before we mounted it to one of our oak beams. I was worried my two rescues would not scratch it as they already were totally in love with their old one which was " scratched out". They loved it the minute I put it down. I would worry about mounting it to your couch because I think they would decide your entire couch was a scratching post! Maybe on the wall or in a corner. I find it best to mount it to something because my cats put their entire weight into it and all other "posts" fall over and then they don't want to bother with it. This is a really good product in my history of many kitty angels. Best of luck Kathy, Halo and Jasmine

I have mine on concrete, I'm sure it would make a mark on drywall. I would recommend having it pushing on a board or plate of some kind to increase tension without pushing through the ceiling.

It slides a little, but not so bad that I have any concerns. As long as it's mounted to the ceiling, you should be fine

They didn't leave any marks on my floors, but they are tile. My daughters house has wood and there were no marks on her wood either when I went there even after coming in from outside. Didn't leave marks on the carpet either.

I installed it with screws into the studs. I used a stud finder to locate the studs. It will leave a few marks but nothing that paint can't fix.

I have not had any problem with it leaving any marks. The key is to make sure the strap is tight.

The first one I got did, but that was because I left it on for a long time and sometimes put weight on top of the computer screen when I closed it. It washed off, however, and I've also had my second cover for about 2 months and haven't had marks again. It might be a new improvement to the design, or I just kept mine on much too long previously. As long as you change the cover periodically and clean the screen, everything should be fine.

No it shouldn't leave a mark. It has a rubberized cover over the metal. I have not noticed any marks on my headboard from the lamp support. I am very satisfied with this product.

We have a textured ceiling too in our home and the rubber lining does a good job at protecting it I have not had any problems so far and I don't keep my pole up I automatically take it down when I'm done and so far no damage and I also tighten as much as possible, but some people do put something in between the pole and ceiling just in case.
