Does the material break down over time? Will it harm real hardwood floors?

I have mine on top of hardwood about 7 months and so far everything looks fine. My rower moves ever so slightly when my husband goes really hard on it, but no damage to the floor.

I had mine on my hardwood floor for about a year, no damage, couldn't even tell it was there. The material is just as strong 2 years later

I have knocked it off my nightstand (which is typical nightstand height) onto the hardwood floor at least 10 times, and it hasn't broken yet. Probably I am pressing my luck and should put a rug under the nightstand though.

It may leave a strip imprint (temporarily after use), from the force of your body pressing against the roller, but nothing damaging the roots of the carpet. In terms of the wood floor, I wouldn't roll on soft woods such as maple/brazillian cherry, since they are easily scratched and dented.

I have my mat in my kitchen over hardwood floor and have had no issues with any damage to the flooring. It is a high quality mat.

I have wood floors and the wheels on the Moda Home Vintage Repo Laundry Basket roll effortlessly. There is no damage to the floors. Remember, this is a reproduction of an old design, so everything is new and up to today's modern standards of usage, not a vintage, albeit "as is" item.

The wheels are made of the same plastic as the rest of the toy (like that of a play kitchen). If you take it out on a road they will be scratched and then I personally wouldn't want it on my hardwood, but if you keep it as an inside toy, you're safe! Our baby got this at 12 mo and is now 21 mo and keeps loving it more and more! :)

I do vacuum before or you will have alot of dirt in the corners. I use it on hardwood floors weekly. Just don't let it sit in one spot for to long. I've been told it's safe and not safe. I believe the trick is to not over do it for fear of warping wood. I've used for 3 years weekly and see no damage to my floors. TIP: buy extra pads!

I wouldn't think so. We have Pergo floors so they are much harder to scratch than real hardwood and haven't had any issues, but I think that's because the wheels are a softer rubber, like a roller skate wheel. We only let our daughter ride it inside though, if she rode it outside she might get tiny pieces of asphalt stuck in the soft rubber of the wheels and then those could scratch the floors.

No will not hold hardwood flooring securely. It is really for carpet and even at that it is not meant to last forever.

I just took a look at the bottom. I don't see anything that would scratch hardwood floors. It has the two main wheels in the back and two small rollers under the vacuum head. Both of these are medium to firm rubber. Should be good to go.Jim

I have used it 3 or 4 times on my hardwoods and haven't had any problems. just do as it recommends and do not let it sit for more than 3 seconds in any one spot.

I don't think so. I have hardwood floor in my spa and I use this chair for almost 10 months and I didn't notice any damage.

I have used mine for several months and I have not seen any wear loss. I am satisfied with mine. I must caution you though, on certain floor types it will not stand. Flat floors not carpeted are the best. Great when in stores and you need both hands free.

I have hard wood floors in my kitchen and I have not had any problems since I purchased about 10 months ago. The only thing I find is when the dog lays on it some how it seems to move a bit, I guess because the dog tries to get cozy on the mat. It is easy to spot clean and I just live it a lot in front of the sink when I have to stand and yes sometimes wash dishes or wine glasses.

I've used mine heavily for a few months now on hardwood floors. There is no residue or discoloration under the mat. Make sure you keep the shiny side down against the flooring.

Yes, it's excellent on hardwood floors. There is an issue with the handle having the potential to break off. This happened to me after using one of their new brooms, but I contacted the company and they were good about replacing the broom at no cost.

I used it on my pergo laminate floor and it started to damage the floor after I use it for a year. I am kinna mad about this. I wouldn't use it on hardwood floor.
