Is it stable enough on carpeted floors? Must I add Velcro to it or weigh down the legs as some reviewers suggest?

I have not had to weigh down the the legs. I use it by my chair when watching TV.

To be honest I am not that happy with this stand. Used it once and never again.

HN, the legs are strong enough but they need to be balanced so they can hold the weight of your Kindle or whatever it is you're viewing. In other words situate the legs so the weight of the Kindle doesn't cause the stand to fall. The Velcro is for the actual stand holder which holds the Kindle. You need to attach some Velcro to the holder (a couple pieces) and to the back of your Kindle. This works fine. Holds and removes nicely. Stand is worth the price. Also, yes, it works whether on carpet or solid flooring.

The legs are wide, but it depends on the thickness of your carpet padding. Very little is stable on carpet. This isn't heavy, so if you put too much on the stand, it could tip.

Sorry it took so long to respond. This stand is very flimsy and requires extensive time to position it just right so it does not tilt over an fall sideways. I finally propped it against a wall and used a rubber mat to keep it from slipping. But once you get it to stand still, you really shouldn't move it otherwise you'll spend alot of time resetting it so it doesn't fall again. It works now and I saved alot of money since other stands were 2-3 times more but still on the fence on whether this was worth it given the extra time I had to put in to make it work.

Its pretty steady, although i have wood i guess you might be fine with carpet.

It really depends how far you extend the arm. The farther out you extend, the more the base starts to lean towards the weight (iPad). Of course hard floors give a more stable footing, but the carpet works fine also.

I have not had any stability issues with it at all and I use it a lot. It's a good buy....worth the money.

I have found it very stable. It hasn't tipped on me yet. On carpet, wood, and really thick carpet I've had no problems

I have it on carpet, so far, it's okay. I use it primarily to hold a home theater system (minus the television), and a printer. Nothing too heavy, and it moved across my carpet fairly well when I was positioning it in my room.

It does nit need to be bolted to the ground, putting on carpet is fine. Wouldo be more stable though on hard floor.

I have purchased 9 of these tables for use in my real estate school. I have not experienced any problems with them on my carpeted floors. They are very stable. I would highly recommend them. Ray Ramsey, Richmond School of Real Estate.

We don't use ours on carpet however we believe that with the weight of the treadmill there should not be any issues

Yes , I use the stability mats even on a carpeted floor. The mats offer more than just stability , they also offer padding for the Total Gym.

It should be fine. I have used it on a hardwood but it should be more stable on carpet.

At this time I'm using my machine on ceramic tile floor, no issues whatsoever so far....Machine it's heavy enough to be stable on carpet as well

I tried it on carpet and it didn't weight right. Its should be on something flat, but it's great for the price. After 2 months no problems at all.

we have ours on carpet, no problem, we have it weighted down so it does not move easily.

This one has hard plastic caps which should protect the floors however how stable I do not know mine is on carpet.

well it is not very stable sitting on carpeting,but sitting on hardwood or any smooth hard floor it will be very stable.I hope this answer helped you

I have three on carpet and one on engineered wood and it hasn't scratched it. There are round plastic tabs attached to the bottom of the legs.

I don't have thick carpet so I don't know.Maybe get a piece of plywood and I suspect it will be ok.Scale has an error of about plus/minus 5lbs...

It needs to be on an elevated surface, otherwise you will be sitting on the floor. The legs are only about 4 inches off the ground. Otherwise yes, you can put it on carpet. Hope that helps.

If you have a level floor this thing isn't shaking. I have mine on carpet and it doesn't move.
