Depending on the floor structure, it might be possible to put small
cross-head screws through the carpet, connected to an underfloor low
voltage
lighting supply. Then have the table legs fitted with metal spikes as used
on hi-fi speakers, connected to the table lights, and put the table on the
powered screws.
