Can you use this rack over carpet? Does it stay in place?

The rack uses a lever to slightly expand the length of the rack to lock it in place between the floor and the ceiling. As long as the carpet is stable (i.e. not prone to slipping), then this rack should work. The rack will fail to hold if the base is easily displaced. A slick floor, sloped floor, or easily moved rug or carpet would cause the rack locking mechanism to become ineffective.

Absolutely, it is great on carpet or any surface because you will set the tension as needed. I love it in my apartment and have 3 bikes.

Yes I'm sure u can! I had it on tile tho. But it's adjustable. Yes, it does!

We have ours on a wooden floor and it holds great. Not sure about carpet though......

Absolutely. I have had this rack for over a year. We have used it on berber carpet and hardwood floors. Never had an issue with either surface.

Haven't personally tried, but it's a tension system so if you make sure the tension is enough before locking it down it ought to stay put. If there's a chance of the rug being pulled out from under it, so to speak, I would think twice. But on wall-to-wall shouldn't be a problem.

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.

Yes, I have them on carpet but it would imagine the rubber on the bottom would keep it from slipping

It will roll over carpet easily if the carpet isn't too thick. The wheels on this cart do fall off quite often though - I'm thinking of putting some duct tape around the shaft of the wheels to keep them on better. I still really like this cart though and I use it all the time.

The q-Rack has a rubber pad at the bottom and the top. I used mine on carpet when I lived in an apartment, and it gripped the carpet very well.

For the application I use it for it does not tip over. I use it on tile and hardwood and the three leg system works well. I think it would be OK on a low pile throw rugs or carpet as well.

I roll mine over medium thickness carpet and rugs no prob. A little rickety at first but I put epoxy all over the fittings.

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.

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.

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.

No, it is good as it is. It holds tight. I had mine on carpet - no problems.

Place the mat under the legs. My problem was that this mat won't stay in-place on carpet anyway.

Yes on low to medium thickness carpet rolls around fine. Same on hard surfaces like tile. Easy to move around and actually pretty quiet to move it around even on the tile.

I haven't tried it on a carpet. Sorry can't help with that one. I think it is probably worth a try though!

The bar is very stable on our carpeting. However, we place a mat between the base bars for safety.

Should work fine on a carpet. You need to have it like an accordian, not straight, it'll just fall over. If something bumps into it with some heft it'll fall over, but if not bumped, stays up fine.

There is adhesive on both. I guess it would depend on the length of the carpet.
