my office is carpeted. I have an adjustable height desk and was going to use this for relief while standing. will this work on carpet?

Sure that will work fine. You may have to move it out of the way when you are sitting due to your chair's wheels or legs. My boss has this set-up, standing desk with mat over carpet, and she just pushes the mat forward a bit when she wants to use her chair. Enjoy!

Hello MR, I use the mat in a home office with carpet and an adjustable keyboard that goes from sit to stand. The mat works perfectly on carpet, although it may shift slightly over time. This will depend on the type of carpet and really thick or shaggy carpet may add to the level of shifting. However, I do not believe this is a safety hazard and I have certainly not experienced any level of shifting that would cause a concern. I use the mat for more than 12 hours a day on carpet and no concerns. Obviously, you know the rule about chairs on the mat. :) However, since you mentioned sit to stand,. I have been using an exercise ball so I do not have to move the mat when I do want to sit down. Yes, it may sound crazy, but an exercise ball can make a nice alternative chair. :) I hope that helps. I really like this mat and find it more than comfortable for long periods of standing. I will tell you that it takes a couple days for the matt to lay flat once you take it from the box. Also, I wanted to point out that for a while the mats were being shipped with the incorrect warranty card. So, if the box says 10-year warranty and the card says seven, hang on to the card and the label from the box. I informed the company of this issue and they were working with their partner to correct the issue.

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.

no, not really, if your carpet or floor is not level, then maybe, but it has a iron weight underneath it that keeps it steady, you need to keep in mind, that these stands are apparently built for space saving, as such they are small and light, but for me, they are very good for the price size and quality, I don't think you would be disappointed.

It can work on carpet but doesn't work quite as well as a regular upright does. It is great on hardwood and hard surfaces.

It should work that way but you should put some kind of pad under it to keep from picking up vibrations from the desk.

Probably not well. The top of my desk is glass and I did try it -- it needed more friction as the roller couldn't grip. As for carpet, shorter types might work, but I'd stay away from longer versions.

Yes, it does work on carpet, In fact, that's where I've used it. It works great on carpet.

I don't have long carpet; however, it literrally jiggles the carpet as you are vacuuming, so my answer is that I really think it would work well.

Yes! I use mine on a carpeted floor and haven't had any problems. I actually think it might be preferred to use on carpet. It also comes with a little mat that you can put under the machine to help with carpet indentions. Enjoy the machine if you purchase it--I love mine! :)

Hi. I think it is designed for a flat, smooth surface. Carpet tends to be uneven, regardless of the type, especially when someone steps on it. But I have not tried it on carpet, so perhaps it can serve your purpose. The squares are pretty secure when connected, so you may give it a shot, but I don't think they will stay put.

I believe it would work fine. It is an excellent product and I don't see any problems with using it on carpet.

If it's on carpeting, it shouldn't as long as you have the two little wheels facing the opposite way as the big wheels are. I have a difficult time moving my table to vacuum underneath it.

Yes, it does well on low-pile carpet. Yes, I used it to help aid myself up and down from a sitting position while recovering from a severely shattered ankle. However, while it is quite sturdy it still is a cane and has limitations as such. When I needed more help with mobility and aid where the support structure was guaranteed to bear my full weight without moving, I used a walker.

I honestly cannot say for sure since I use my mat in my office setting and it is on top of carpet. I have used other mats on my kitchen floor; however, where the floor was washed and it did not seem to affect the mat in any way. I really don't think it will affect this mat either since it is a sturdy rubber back. Hope this helps.

I use mine on a plastic desk pad. Rollers that are hard plastic work best on carpet. Soft rollers work best on hard surfaces

I've tried it and it didn't run smoothly. I think it depends on what kind of carpet though. If you have flat office carpet, maybe but it didn't work very well for our carpet.

My office has low pile carpeted floor tiles and I am able to roll around on this chair while sitting on it. It does not roll as easily as a regular office chair. If you have a floor mat or tile/wood floor it should roll easily for you.
