Does anyone know how this stands up to floor movement? Will it SKIP when i walk by?

Mine never has and I have a wooden floor. Rega's do not use spring suspensions. I have had numerous turntables with spring suspensions and they bounce and skip unless you have concrete floors.

This is a tough question to answer. I think it greatly depends on the flex in your floors and what you have the turntable mounted on. I have ceramic tile floors and the turntable mounted in an entertainment center. I've not seen any level of vibration cause it to ever skip. Rock solid. But, if I had flexible fake wood floors (not that fake wood is a bad thing) and it was sitting on something that moved with any floor flex...then I think any turntable would skip.

It's pretty sturdy and doesn't shake too much. It can be very difficult to keep a rhythm when walking and I find that I have to keep at least one hand on it while walking. The motion is more like pushing something as opposed to walking on a motorized treadmill.

Mine seems to hold up well. I stand on it a lot and move around. It wipes clean.

I have not had any problem with it moving. There is a small Velcro strip that helps keep it in place.

We have the black one and we put pads on the bottom of it to assure it would not scratch the wooden floor. Even though it is so heavy, it is relatively easy to move. We want it to be relatively stationary so casters would not benefit us. I'd recommend not to use them unless there was a need to move the unit a material distance all the time.

I have no problem with it moving around on hard, flat surfaces. I absolutely love it. I bought the clear one and it is much better looking in person than in the picture.

I will say that the floor is quite flexible, and if not on something solid or level all the way through, you will be able to tell it when you walk on it. Also if not perfectly level on front, doors will not line up. But if you are just storing boxes and don't intend to go in and out daily, it should be fine.

There is a small weighted device inside. It moves easily back and forth when you are walking. This generates a signal that you are taking steps. If that is not it, it may have a loose screw or something and may have to be replaced.

Oh yeah! This is not a flat system, it has metal balls that rotate both ways, you place your feet anywhere and all over moving your feet up, down sideways, etc. It does pulse upwards, you shouldn't have a problem. It really is a nice unit.

No bad issues here on durability. Only problem I have is that mine is on carpet in my workout room and slowly moves as I use it. It is not a problem with the BOB, but where I use it.

It moves very easily on my wood floors. I move it from a bedroom to the great room without a problem. It's mobility was a main factor in my purchase and I haven't been disappointed.

It does not have feet on it. It only touches the floor in three places, two in the front and one place in the back middle. It has little push-pin buttons on the front and I am not sure about the one in the back.

Susan, I think there's always going to be a little movement especially if it's on carpet. It's isn't a design to be solid. A four let design would be solid. Those little metal things are only to limit the rocking motion. I don't know how you have those installed, but if they are installed as instructed, that may be as good as it gets. Mine wobbles a little. Sorry I couldn't help more.

A simple anti-slip (anti-skip) mat would work. You can also use wood glue or wood screws to install a raised edge near the bottom. Fifteen minute shopping trip at Home Depot or Lowes.

There are no rough edges so it should not scratch your floors. I have hardwoods and it moves around fine. Also it is very light and can be lifted easily although sturdy enough that it won't tip over at all. Highly recommended.

Mine does not wobble or flex. It also came with 2 small L brackets to attach it to the wall if you felt it was necessary but mine isn't going anywhere. It is also in an office with commercial carpeting on a poured concrete floor so there is no flexing or "squishiness" to the floor. For me it would be a 1 on the scale.
