My monitor stands are solid wood made up of a 4x4 attached to an 18in flat round wood disc at the bottom. They are fairly heavy with monitor pads with 1/4" steel plates under my Event PS8 monitors.

However, the flat round wood base sits on a somewhat plush carpet, so I have noticed that the stands are able to sway somewhat if you push up against them. My question is, is this swaying an issue with my monitoring and should I try to eliminate it?

I'd like to work with the stands I have since I like how they look, rather than doing something like stacking concrete blocks up from the floor.

I was thinking of trying to maybe put some 8"x16" concrete blocks on the carpet and then simply resting the flat wood bases on top of them. or, maybe adding some "feet" to the bottoms of the stands for better stability?

Thanks
Chet
