Is it okay to put a vertical file cabinet on carpet?

On low-pile commercial carpet, vertical file cabinets sit fine without any modification. On thick residential carpet, the cabinet can rock or feel unstable, and drawers may not glide as smoothly. Adding a hard floor mat or a thin plywood pad under the cabinet on plush carpet solves the stability issue. Make sure leveling glides are adjusted evenly after placement.
