I would get hard wood floor.. carpet will tear up your toes. At least it does for me with my carpet. For a pole I personally like xpole at 45 mm because 50 mm is hard for those who have small hands like me and it's better for hand grips. There are different kinds of poles you can get like chrome or gold. I have a chrome and it's good but gold is better with grip, it's stickier. I do not think there are people that will professionally install a pole and they aren't actually hard to install if you get an xpole. You just need someone to help hold the pole up. Good luck!

@crazySamanta thank you, and is there a specific type of hardwood or you'd recommend? And is the 45mm pole tall enough for a standard apartment

No there's not really a specific kind of floor. And yes it should be tall enough. When you order it, and if you order from x-pole, you can talk to the customer service ppl. They are really nice and will help you with the height of the pole. You can buy extensions if your ceiling are too tall or too short.

45mm is the diameter of the pole....approximately 1.75 inches. I do not know of a single place that installs poles professionally but I will say that all of the portable poles are easy to set up and take down. The pole all depends on what youa re looking for. There are a bunch of threads here (and I think they are stickied) describing materials/manufacturers/sizes, etc. I would suggest if you can to feel the different finishes before making a purchase. Some love brass, some love chrome, some love stainless....it is going to depend a lot on your body chemistry.
