How sturdy would these be on carpet? Our apartment is carpeted, and I'm worried about the chairs tipping.

Given the height these chairs can go, I'd strongly advise against using them on anything but a hard surface.

I bought this for my mother in law...but my only other comment would be that the chairs tip real easy....ll try to get answer from her for you if I can...

Probably. I actually turned 2 on their sides to make a daybed with storage, so I don't know about standing them up on carpet. I can tell you they are HEAVY. I think if you assembled as instructed and maybe added a little wood glue in the joints, you'd be fine.

I'd look closely at the photos of the risers and decide if they will stay in place when "gliding". I believe the stability would be okay because the risers are pretty strong, but they may slide on the floor unless you're on carpet or other non-slick floor. Good luck.

I agree with other comments. They are very sturdy rockers. Have had no weight restrictions. Great chairs.

My dining room is carpeted and I have not noticed any wobbling. My husband put together the chairs and he is very meticulous and made sure there was no wobble. I have a glass dining room table and the chairs are a wonderful compliment to it. I am very happy with them!

No, I don't feel they are stable. And the backs of the chairs are quite low. I regret this purchase and wish I would have returned it. :/

I purchased these for the front desks of the buildings I manage. They seem to be sturdy and the base is pretty heavy so they don't tip easily. Not sure what the weight capacity is but we have different sized adults all using them and they seem to be fine. Hope this helps!

I have mine on hardwood; but the round base does seem wide enough to support them. On high pile carpeting you may want to anchor them better but on lower pile covering they'd stand just fine.

Well when I placed them on the bare floor you had to play with them a bit so they would stay, they would wobble but when I had them on carpet, they were a bit more sturdy. I am not sure if it is just the 2 I bought that are a bit uneven but I do like them just wish they would stay on the bare floor better and the gaps in between each panel were a bit closer. Hope this helps.

No they're not sturdy enough, it's even too shaky to hold my wireless keyboard steady since it's heavier than wired keyboards. It may be because my computer chair has curved arm rests, but I even have to stay mindful of the mouse so it wouldn't fall off every time I let it go.

I have two of these shelves on carpet. My carpet isn't super thick but the base is very sturdy. The under-side of the base is the same as the top shelf so, If you look closely at the pic, you can see that there is a 3/4-1" lip which helps it lock onto my carpet. I have heavier items such as books on the bottom two shelves however, I wouldn't recommend placing heavy objects near the front corners of the upper shelves for fear of potential tipping. I have two kids running through my home and I've never had any issues with stability. I love these shelves and am considering buying two more for another room..

I have it on carpet. However, there are those plastic the legs. I would imagine it would not be a problem at all.Also I love the chairs. I reordered them.

Yes, it's very sturdy. It comes with special screws to attach to a wall to prevent it tipping over but I didn't need to use it - it stands up without any wavering. Please note, I have it on a floor not carpet but I don't suspect it will be a problem on carpet.

If they are in their highest position they are slightly unstable on carpet. However, my 5 year old climbs on them and they have never tipped.

These are VERY sturdy chairs. Assembled properly there should be no problem.

I agree with Bruce. They are fairly sturdy, if you lay them flat they are more rigid...I would say if the weight is distributed evenly and no sharp indentations are made, they could probably support 20-30 lbs each without being damaged.
