I have brand new Armstrong linoleum floors. Are the feet of these stools made to prevent scuffing or damaging linoleum? Please advise, and thanks.

I have ceramic flooring which is durable and i would be nervous to put these heavy stools on linoleum. That being said, I would contact the company to ask them, because I don't want to steer you wrong.

We had just put down a new wood floor before purchasing these. We also used the self stick felt pads and they work great. Not sure how the feet would stand up to your floors. We LOVE these stools though, and are very good quality. I would recommend just getting some felt pads to use if you really like these stools.

I have hardwood floors and the same concerns about scuffing. As with any chair or table, I always apply a felt stick on pad to the feet which can be found at any hardware or home goods store.

The bottom of the stools have hard plastic feet so they should be ok but I have mine on a tile floor so I can't speak directly.

They have a pretty nice glide pad to protect the flooring I am very pleased with these stools..love them!

The foot is a black hard plastic that slides well on tile without marking. If you are worried about scuffing or potential damage add some inexpensive felt feet to the bottoms. They are very well made, but you are likely to be missing a washer or two. Out of 4 stools only 1 had all the hardware. It takes a while to assemble, but my husband it was well worth it. ***PLEASE BE AWARE*** you can only order 3 stools! There is a limit of three per customer (Amazon will make you wait a week to order more.) There is no mention of the limit unless you try to order more than three within a week.

Good question. I just tried sliding it on my linoleum floor and it slid with no problem whatsoever.

The legs do not have floor protectors - you could probably apply some if desired. Note- I have the tables on my hardwood floors and have not noticed any scratches

No, the bottom feet of the stool that rest on the floor are bare wood. We haven't had any problems with the stool slipping on hard wood floors at the bathroom sink or kitchen counters.

we have old school parkay wood floors and very heavy pot/plants and they ahve not left a mark on them, but I think it might depend on the type of wood you have. There are small rubber 'feet' at the ends of each leg, that I think helps as well.

Yes, all of the stools have protective rubber rings on the bases that will protect your wood floors from being scratched.

Frankly I do not know about linoleum. But, if you want to know you could check with the company who makes it. I use it on laminate floors.

there is a rubber stopper on the bottem of each leg. the piece if built correctly is durable and steady. I see the previous answer to your question and it sounds like they put them together wrong. I could have ordered this stool out of hillsdale catalog from a "dealer" for 355.00. very nice bar stools.

Mine has little plastic ends on the bottom of the legs. I have hardwood floors and they do not scratch.

Select a less than perfect piece of the engineered flooring ( I know, it's probably hard to find such a piece.), and nail it to the floor. Because it's laminated veneer it shouldn't split. Check to see how well the cleats hold it. I've used 18 ga cleats on Mirage engineered hardwood floors and they worked well, but every brand has different characteristics. It's really a judgement call.

The legs on my kitchen stools are not round either, they're kind of triangular, and these worked perfectly. The circular opening should be JUST big enough to go around your square leg for a snug fit; if there's too much extra space it'll fill up with dust and crumbs.

Generally agree with jt that these should not be used on hardwood floors, which I have. I'm not even going to try it as I'm renting. I'll just say the packaging says "for carpets" and also reads as follows "to prevent scratches on hard floor surfaces, floors should be kept free of dirt and grit. Scratches may occur if dirt or other particles become trapped between the Super slider and floor."

They have plastic insert bottoms, so the metal should not touch the floor. You might be able to attach felt pads to the bottoms as well.

We have the nail-in magic sliders on 8 heavy solid wood chairs -- our floors are very uneven - 3 x 6 inch terrazo bricks with very deep and wide grouting in between. Our chairs are pulled in and out from the table several times a day and I think in 5 or 6 years of use, maybe one slider has fallen off. The chairs are almost silent, and there are no marks on the floor. I would suggest getting the largest diameter glides that will fit the base of your chair legs, to even out the floor roughness.

I installed mine over my existing linoleum with no issues. Just be sure to clean it really well and let it dry completely first. Mine turned out beautiful!

I put felt pads on the feet if the chairs and have no issues with my wood floors! They are sturdy comfortable chairs.

My floor is oak and it never has scatched. If you walk on it I don't see how this could hurt it. But to be on the SAFE side I would check with someone who does flooring. Its a great little machine and very light. Hope it works for you.
