My kitchen chairs are 1/2 on hardwood and 1/2 on carpet (2 legs on...2 legs off). Will these slide on carpet or just push the felt off?

I believe carpet will quickly wear and readjust the felt. These are okay for hardwood floors, but not great. They wear unevenly and have to be replaced at least twice a year with daily use. Beware these are extremely difficult if not impossible to install on hardwood furniture.

They are made for wood or tile floors. I use mine for wood floors. Just tested my stools on short carpet and they don't slide very well on it. But don't stick either. You may have to experiment with different solutions. Have you thought about using felt on wood side and plastic on the carpet side? I had to cover a portion of my wood floor in a home office with rubber/carpet mats from Home Depot to keep from scratching the floor on a secretary chair with rollers.

They will definitely not 'slide' on carpet; however, it is doubtful that the felt will come off. In your case, I would just use these on the two legs that are on the hardwood floor and see how that works for you. For the two legs on the carpeted area, you may want to place non-felt pads such as sliders to make the chairs easier to move without lifting.

I don't think the felt will come off, but they may pull out of the chair legs when you try to slide the chairs on carpet. I would buy these for the hardwood legs and smooth ones no felt for the carpet legs. We use hard plastic on all four legs of our chairs at work and they don't seem to hurt the real oak floors.

My chairs are on hardwood but I just sat on one while it was half on carpet, half on hardwood and I am guessing that they will not slide off. You hammer them into the bottom of the chair, they seem very secure. So far, I love this product especially after years of using the stick on kind that don't stay put over time.

These will slide on the carpet. I installed these on my 6 dining room chairs that are usually on carpet, because I sometimes use the same chairs on the hardwood floor in the nook. They work great on carpet and hardwood. Since the pads are nailed into the chair leg, they never slide off.

I would think they will not work in that type situation. Must be able to slide on smooth surface.

The felt won't push off - once set they really don't move. Very good product I wouldn't ever switch back to the glue felt

I'm not sure since I use a chair mat on top of carpet. However, I think they would be okay but I don't know if the tile would be easily marked if there was dirt or grit between the caster and tile.

I don't believe it would be a problem since they are like little socks. On my 'pub' style chairs, because they are moved so frequently, I first put stick-on floor protectors on the bottoms, then slipped the socks over. Weight does not seem to be a factor. Hope this helps!

Yes. The tips of the legs that the casters go into have a short length on them. If using on a hardwood floor, at felt pads. Otherwise fine on carpet.

Depends on the thickness of the carpet. Not hard to push on my thin rugs. Very hard on my new thick plush carpet.

They most likely would. The felt protects wood floors from scratching. The plastic ones slide across carpet so I would say go with these.

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

They don't have anything to hold them in place, but if you have carpet or a rug they won't move around. I bought a rug to put underneath mine, because we have hardwood floors and it does a pretty good job at staying put. I mean nothing is prefect and we put them back into places from time to time.

They are hard plastic, and will scuff your floors or floor mat. If you have wood flooring, you are definitely going to want to use a protective floor mat underneath the chair.

Yes most likely. They are not heavy squares so any heavy movement, especially on carpet, will likely move them.

I doubt they will slide if you have a big enough area covered because they lock together. I love them. At one point I had very heavy rubber 4 x 6 mats which I sold. I like these much better. I use trx on them and all kinds of other things. They are perfect as a gym floor for me.

The chairs come with plastic feet. You screw them in and yes, I can imagine they would scratch a composite wood floor. Felt feet would be better but the plastic feet are so small, you would have trouble applying felt feet to them. Better to apply the felt feet directly to the chair feet without using the plastic feet.

They don't seem to work on carpeting at all. We have mostly tile floors but I just tried them on a fairly flat area rug and on our one carpeted bedroom and they didn't go even an inch. So, no, not on carpeting.

There are grips on the bottom to hold it to carpet. Seems it would be better with carpet so it wouldn't slide. I would think they would be 'ok' on a painted floor because they are fitted to the shape of the floor but I think they would still move a bit.

Hold rug? No- these pads keep my furniture from slipping when you get up or sit down on furniture that is on hardwood floors. My sofa has the front legs on my floor rug but the back legs are on the wood flooring. These keep those back legs from slipping at all! Hope this helps.

I don't know. I sent them back because I couldn't get them on the chairs. As I remember they were padded on the bottom to protect hardwood floors, so I bet they wouldn't slide on carpet but I don't know for sure.

No, use hard sliders (Like these) to slide over a soft surface like carpet. Use soft or felt sliders to slide over hard surfaces.
