Would these be stable enough to use on carpet if weight were added to the base?

The added weights would provide much-needed Staibability on carpet. But I'm not sure if that would solve the entire problem. I would probably look at using a sheet of plywood. One small section under each Stand should provide more stability. Good luck

maybe a short carpet nothing thick, really can't say mine work fine in the garage over 3/4 inch rubber horse mats

The thicker the carpet the more weight I'd want. Even on concrete I like 25lbs for light weights. The closer I get to 200lbs I want 25's and 45's both on the base minimum.

Yes my swat stands are on carpet.But my carpet is thin carpet.I have no problems with them.

You should be. just make sure you have enough weight on the bottom to counter balance the weigh on the top.

Yes, it should be fine. The base is adjustable so extending it and giving it a bigger footprint with the added weight should be more than enough.

I bought the BD-9 6 months a go,I live in at small studio(carpet wall to wall)...it's very stable...rocks a little bit but nothing to worry about it....I'm using two 25's at the bottom, and feels really stable...I love this stand...when I'm done with my workout I put it in my closet...it's prefect for press(chest, shoulder)...

I would say yes, but know that they would get kicked around if you didn't anchor them somehow...they aren't very heavy.

The bases are small but weighted well. I haven't had any problems with them tipping.

Sorry, but in my personal opinion -- no. When they are stacked they are kind of shaky. Not by much, but I would not want to put something heavy on top of them.

No problem. They ship with spike-like feet as well as padded for hard floors too. The spikes would sink into your carpet for stability.

Yes, but you'd have to be careful to maintain the overall stability of the units. Don't go up too high, not too much weight.

For the purpose I used them for they were excelent. They held a nice bit of weight and they were adjustable. I still like them today. If the floor is sloped, there is a little play in them. However, they are not of real high quality. the plastic on the bottom was held with a screw. If the floor does not have a major slope; they will probably work.

I think it could be sturdy enough if they are not more than about 8" tall. Otherwise, they'd probably tip over.

Probably not. They are not very tall (4 ft) and unless you plan to put them where there is no wind they are not very stable.

I used them to raise a couch on carpet and it works great. You can only use one not double stack for the stability.

They're pretty stable, the number of shelves shouldn't compromise it's stability I'd think. They would be good for outside use, depending on where it would be you may need to weigh it down at the base though.

Yes. They work great. I'm 270 lbs. No carpet damage. I still don't believe they work as well as they do. Had them a few months now.

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

Def NOT. They are very lightweight as they are acrylic. I have min on a low pile shag rug and while it is sturdy and doesn't fall, its not an everyday use sort of item. They can easily tip if the child leaned back.

Yes and not sure. Mine is very stable but on a low pile carpet. Quality product.

We have two of them and they seem stable enough for our usage. A factor that effects stability is the type of floor you place these units onto. If the base is stable then it will be stable also.

I have only used them on hard floors, but I do not see why they would not work on carpet..
