I used these nail-on felt furniture pads, and they have stayed in place for a couple of years, with no scratching of our wood floors. I'm not a fan of swivel stools, especially if they have high backs. If you have kids and high-backed swivel stools, count on the edges of your counters getting banged up.

I really like the style of stools in your photo.

Thanks! I’ve only ever used sticky felt furniture pads,l. I imagine the nail on type would be much better on stools.

I've used the nail-on felt furniture pads and they really are the way to go.
