Has anyone used these for an extended period of time--do they rub the finish on wood chairs?

Although I haven't used it for long, I haven't noticed any marks on my pine chairs. That is why I chose this particular booster.

No it doesn't. Very soft plastic material. I already had bad rub marks from the seats you strap in, and there are no new marks. You could always put a kitchen cabinet liner underneath to be sure - since those have grip and won't make the surface slick. This chair has held up amazingly well. We are now over a year of usage.

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 have the light natural finish and I really love my chairs, so I don't know about the stained ones but they appear to be oiled.

There are some wood color variations in my chair, but it's not so great a difference as to be distracting or a problem for us. I do want to say that my wife and I just noticed the other day that our two daughters have been using the chairs to sit at the dining table for nearly six years! They are 7 and 10 now and still love them. The best part is the adjustable foot rest so their legs don't dangle. Thanks.

They work really well, but I mainly have children sitting on the chairs, and pushing back and forth. Adults 150-175 have also sat on them and so far no scratches on the hardwood floors!

yes but I quit using them because they ate the lacquer finish off of my Stereo/TV cabinet the size of the circle!They also ate finish on bottom of wooden lacquer finished book shelf speakers !!

I have had mine for almost a year and they haven't discolored, but I have them on drawers that do not get daily use.

Hi Lucy! They have a glossy topcoat on them which could likely easily be sanded off so you could restain the chairs. Good luck!

I have put them on painted wood without any problems. However, I would not put them on furniture though since it is too risky but then again, cat scratches on furniture look awful! I also put them on our leather couches and my kitties no longer claw the couches. I only wish I had discovered sticky paws BEFORE the cats pretty much ruined them!

I use mine and have for years on hardwood and laminate and also on tie. and they work well. They will clean and shine your hardwood floors and leave the room smelling great. Love love them!!

No, but I can't see them ever wearing out. Keep them clean with the brush provided and maybe add a drop of lightweight oil once in a while and they should last for years.

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

I have some on wicker chairs ... but I don't know why you couldn't use them on wrought iron. The cushions weather well and still look great after a year.

I have not had any trouble. I use a good furniture polish several times a week to keep any liquid from going into the finish. It beads up the liquid for easy wipe up.

Hi, I have them on a wooden table and they have not scratched it. However, it's a distressed painted darker gray table. The coasters do have a felt backing, but it doesn't reach to the very edges. Hope this helps!

No. They have microfiber seats on the chairs. But I suggest you purchase cushions because they can get dirty/stained easily.

I am not knowledgeable about staining. But I think there is already a finish on the chairs. It is comfortable to sit on them.
