does it damage the ceiling during use? will it work on carpet?

In my opinions don't think it will damage the ceiling. The rubber cups that attach to ceiling have two layers of rubber. The middle which I guess takes most if tension is soft with groves for traction. As far as the grip on a carpet. I have hdwd flrs so i can't based on experience but I don't know if I would suggest that only because the carpet fibers can be unstable and if you happen to apply too much pressure on an area I would imagine that the weight of the poles would shift.

The rubber cups? took the paint off of my ceiling. I have hardwood floor and the poles aren't as sturdy as I want them to be (still wiggles a bit when I shake it after assembly); sturdy enough but not completely stable, don't think it'll fall unless someone leans on it or kick it. I don't find much use for the curtains since it doesn't cover the middle section. Currently have these poles in an L shape to save some space. Overall I'm happy with my purchase!

I use mine mainly on hard surfaces but worked just fine when I have used on carpet.

HI....I don't see why it wouldn't work on carpet. It will stay stationary wherever you put it. Hope this helps.

Works best on hard surfaces. It will work ok on a short pile carpet....thick or shag...not so much

I am using it on a carpet. I have no problem with it. It looks and works fine on a carpet. From the looks of it, It should work fine on the hard work floor. I am expecting some type of stain on the carpet when I remove it, although I am not sure, you may expect some type of streaks from the rubber when you use it on a long run. Overall it is a good product.

I'm sorry, we haven't used it on carpet. Depends on whether it's a smooth or nubby carpet. If it's smooth I'm sure it would do a nice job.

Yes it can be used on carpet though for a vaulted ceiling you need an attachment .... The height should be listed in the description. You can also buy more attachments if your ceiling is super tall.

no problem on a second floor of a residence..I would put some kind of rubber mat under it to help absorb any vibrations it may cause if the weight stack is dropped. As long as the equipment is used properly it won't cause damage..as far as it crashing through your ceiling and landing in the family room...I don't see it happening.

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

I've had this for close to a year and have had no issues. Yes, we have used it on the carpet (not rug). Very satisfied with the item.

Yes, I guess that is its best usage.It is perfect for rig on carpet. Also, I recently took it off and nothing was damaged, which is a great benefit too.

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

We've only used ours on tile floors. We don't have carpet anymore. But the product information says that it can be used on carpet.

I have mine on carpet and have no problems. I use it to divide my office space so I move it everyday.

Yes, I believe it will. It has rubber foot and head pads. It will leave an indent in the carpet after a while. Mine is on wood floor and pressed against the plaster ceiling even though I had planned to put it under an exposed beam when I bought it. And, it hasn't even marked the plaster because the pads are so spongy. This is a nice product--Good luck!

I used it on a small carpet in the garage and it worked well. Haven't tried it in a large area.

It does detach and can be used like a corded DustBuster. I've never used it on the ceiling. But I think you could. The cord is short though.
