Can you place these over carpet?

I would not. Even if you had a large enough surface for it not to slip away from your feet like a frisbee, there is not a tacky feel to either side of these enough for me to use on carpet.

I would think this should not pose a problem. Mine are in our basement on concrete. But they latch together nicely so they should easily be just as steady and stable I would think. However, I would consider positioning them against a corner wall and/or setting a heavier piece of equipment (a weight bench?) on them so they do not slide.

Yes, they are quite heavy and should settle into thicker carpet nicely. If you are worried about divots in the carpet, I would suggest getting some small furniture sliders to put under the feet.

Yes; more precisely, I use a padded mat under the Rugbuddy, then on top I have another carpet, over the feet of some tables/sofas rest (pressing on the Rugbuddy). So far so good, after 3 weeks of usage. The instructions specify to avoid large area objects lying on top of the rug - presumably to avoid heat build-up.

If the surface is solid and flat under the carpet, yes. I've used these in several rooms with low pile carpet with no problem.Jean Airey

Yes you can, but it's quite heavy and doesn't roll easily over carpet. But we have moved it both into and back out of our bedroom and into the family room st the other end of the house. I wouldn't want to do it on a daily basis or by myself though.

No! You must use very strong tape to hold the rugs in place. The tape that comes with the rugs are not strong enough they made the carpets move when we cam down the stairs. I went to Home Depot and purchased stronger tape

It can depend on how thick your carpet is. You could try putting the heavy stuff on the bottom or even securing the unit to the wall. It is not a heavy unit.

Yes, I think they would work on top of carpet. If you were to jump on them or exercise, they may shift a bit because they won't be able to grip the floor, but if that's not an issue for you, then it should work. Our issue was just that they didn't stay locked together when used for exercising.

No, I have hardwood floors and I put a thick blanket between it and the floor. I would lay it directly on carpet though.

I guess you can but the height of the chair would drop about 2". Also you would want to put something on them to protect the wood of the legs. They're not made to go directly on the carpet or floor.

yes, mine are still holding exactly in place and will not damage carpet I stuck tape to back of rug putting down(width wise) not length then place on carpet exactly as you want will not move!

Possibly, but I doubt it. Suggest you put down a piece of carpet underneath.

Since there are no sharp edges, I think it is perfectly safe to place these risers on a carpet. Of course, as with every heavy object placed on a carpet, especially for an extended period of time, an indentation will be unavoidable.

would not recommend you use them that way but I know there are few options for in floor plugs. Remember your carpet is stretched when it is installed. Cutting a large hole could cause problems. Talk to your carpet installer and if you do use them only use them in a non foot traffic area. You could only put them under a table, chair, sofa ect. These are not for carpeted areas (unless the carpet is very thin) but the would be safer than cutting the carpet and pulling an electrical cord thru the hole

Honestly, I don't think they would adhere well to carpet because they need a solid surface to grasp and the fibers of carpet would break down the sticky side. You're welcome to try, but I don't think they'll stick.

Yes, BUT--The problem is that carpet is not rigid and could easily get fouled, or bunch up, creating a dangerous situation (for your fingers). It would be safest to SANDWICH the carpet between two layers of thin (1/4") throw-away plywood, taking care to clamp everywhere you can OR use 1/2" wood screws and screw the sandwich together 6 inches set back from BOTH SIDES of the cut line. Good luck.

I would not. These are hard plastic and are mainly for carpets. You could attach some felt pads to make them work on hard surfaces like wood or tile.
