go to collections etc. they actually have plastic feets for chair legs, amazing not 20 min ago i was saying well that is cool. tehehe

of that doesn't work, try screwing in pieces of rubber

yeah, they do the the little plastic tip things you nail in at the big box stores, but i thought these plastic covers were cool.

Rubber and vinyl don't mix...so please don't go that way. Many houzzers have this problem. One option is to use hot glue to affix the felt to the bottom of the chairs. Many have tried this and found that it worked well. I believe they used felt without the self adhesive on the bottoms.

My clients have used their cork tile samples (4mm glue down) and cut up the samples and hot glued the sample to their chair feet - finished side towards the floor (raw side glued to the foot). Many are satisfied with this option = permanent and non-damaging to cork/hardwood floors.

We just had engineered wood installed and put felt on all the furniture. Now every thing slides out of place. Gangly son flopped on sofa and pushed it into the torchiere behind it. shattered glass shade and gouges in the wall.... Anything that doesn't slide or scratch??

ok, it says the first i mentioned is not felt.

I'm going to try hot gluing the felt things to the chair legs, then if that fails, I'll go looking for those Furniture Feet. Thanks everyone!

Ok hot glued the suckers on!

We have felt on ours and haven't had any issues with them coming off yet, but will try the hot glue if needed. Thanks for the idea!

@kathleen...there is no real 'fix' for slippery floors and floppy teens. One way to anchor the furniture = area rugs. If you can get the the front feet of the sofa onto an area rug you will find it takes a LOT of effort to move the thing!!! A lot of effort. This is where grade 11 Physics comes into play. Increase force of friction (area rug under the feet of the sofa) means you have increased force of inertia (sofa sitting on area rug) that the floppy teen must over come to get the whole thing to move.

The other benefit: two feet on the area rug are two feet that A) don't need felt protectors and B) can't damage the flooring.

Had same problem
Tried gluing felt but when those fell off there was residue from the glue on the floor
We bought little socks for the feet
I think Amazon and the name Nancy is in somewhere I think

thanks Stephanie, we are planning to add area rugs at some point. Your physics lesson adds a reason beyond design for it.

I just remembered we bought rubber discs or plates for the bed which has those rolling castors. We find those work good because the weight of the bed holds the rubber discs in place and then the bed doesn't fly across the room. We purchased then from Home Depot I think.

@mrskain1, I used to have the same problem with the castors on my bed. When I moved, one of the castors fell off. I hadn't realized until then that they weren't really attached to the frame at all. I removed them all, and now the bed stays in place.

Here's a trade secret!!! You take some carpet and cut lil pcs to fit under the legs. Put the pile side down and use a construction adhesive(PL 400) to glue them on. Let dry for a day or 2 and u will never have this problem again.

Orangecamera, I did not know that. And to think we've had those type of frames forever! lol Another to-do on the list!

Micheal P. - good to know!

So I glued the felt pads on and they seem to be staying :). There's some residual adhesive stuck to the floor tho from when the pads kept popping off, and I don't know how to remove it. Should I use acetone? I couldn't find anything in the instructions that came with the flooring. Any thoughts?

Try using white vinegar and water, sparingly so you don't get it in the seams.

I would try the acetone on a scrap piece of flooring first. It's pretty strong stuff so I'm sure it will remove the glue, but not sure if it will damage the flooring.
