Are these suitable for homes with hardwood floors? Are they going to scratch up the wood?

They should not scratch any surfaces. They are made of plastic. They are a bit more slippery on smooth surfaces than carpet though. My son got the hang of it first on carpet and then I let him in the (linoleum) kitchen.

Our home has hardwood floors and I haven't noticed any scratches occurring from these feet. They are hard plastic, so rough or extended play on the floors could foreseeably result in a scratch. Ideally, these work better on carpet or a rug, since they could slide around more on the hard floor.

I guess it depends on how hard the laminate is, I would assume it's okay. I am using them on my hardwood floors - however I think I'm going to put down some kind of rug - I am starting to see indentions in the hardwood (nothing major, but noticeable in the right light and at the right angle).

Just to be clear. It is okay to use on hardwood floors? These are not laminate but they are finished.

There are no rough edges so it should not scratch your floors. I have hardwoods and it moves around fine. Also it is very light and can be lifted easily although sturdy enough that it won't tip over at all. Highly recommended.

Oh, NO, please don't. I wish I had asked others like you do now before I purchased and used them on my wood floor. I have scratches on my floor now. The contact side is hard plastic. So if there is any tiny debris or particles, it leaves scratches. Even it is absolutely clean, the contact is not smooth for moving and causes damage easily. Noop...

I have 3 in my home office/ guitar room. They work great when we play music. The flooring is pergo(laminated wood) and we have had no problem. I also have 1 in my closet where i have cherry flooring. No scratching, digging, nothing. They are great

I would say this is not the right solution for you. These work good on wood floors but might get quickly worn out on concrete or brick. I would look for something else.

No, they won't scratch any surface because there is a thin felt-like fabric glued to the bottom, which prevents the stone from touching the table underneath. Hope this helps.

I also have hardwood floors, and it hasn't scratched them from what I can tell (my dog mainly plays on the carpet with it). It is designed to roll and doesn't have much of an area that would scratch floors.

I got these skates for my niece. When the weather is bad and they don't want to have to go out to the rink, my sister has let her use them in the house on the hardwood floor. So far they haven't noticed any scratching on the floor. I think though it may also depend on how the child skates in them and coloring of the hardwood floor. Theirs is a lighter color wood and possibly you just don't see the scratching if there is any compared to a dark wood floor.

I have them on the bottom of rugs on laminate flooring and there is no damage. Granted, they don't work at all for rugs. But I don't believe it will damage the flooring at all, even when used with something heavier than a rug...

I have been using them directly on my wood floor and had no trace and no sign of damage on my floor. Just wanted to share this experience.

No! It does not scratch my hardwood floors, and the vacuum is far superior than any vacuum I have ever owned. It has two motors and the head swivels. So awesome! It is heavy however...but I workout with weights at the gym. Hope this helps!

Not at all.... Do not where any fabric that will slightly scratch. If you do not plan to keep a tidy home and treat these items as a "sculptural piece of art" that you can sit on carefully. Do not buy them.

We have laminate wood floor and it doesn't scratch it at all. I'm not sure how it would do on real hardwood.

They will probably scratch an engineered wood floor, but most stools will. You can get felt pads from Home Depot, etc. that stick on the bottom. You just have to clean off the dust that gathers around them as you move the stools around.

Since I don't have marble floors, I can't say if it will scratch or not. There's a strip on the pad for getting tough dirt off, but it isn't gritty really. My dogs have done more damage to my cheapy wood floors over the years than this pad could.
