Do the glides damage hard wood floors?

I really don't know but they have been lifesaving for transitioning from floors to carpet. My grandmother hasn't fallen once since we got them. She would lose her balance from picking up the walker or getting tripped when moving onto carpet. If you don't have carpeted areas then I would just put tennis balls on it.

I'm sorry, but I don't know that. All of the paths my mom uses it for are carpeted. I would imagine if it's dragged across a floor rather than the walker lifted a little ahead of them, it might leave marks.

I got these for an uncle who was in a retirement facility and has now passed away. Their floors were mostly carpet & linoleum. They didn't harm the linoleum, BUT if the user needs a lot of support and puts extra pressure on the handles, I can see where you might be concerned. They do better and last longer than the tennis ball scenarios, and for sure are a lot more stable than other options. THey are relative cheep, you might just have to try them and if they scratch stop. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would be afraid of falling if used on wood floors. I have wood in my house and tested them. They are way too slippery on wood.

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."

Thought this was answered. I have two and grandkids use on my wooden floors, no problems. I don't let them go outside on concrete; kept inside so wheels don't get any gashes to scratch floors.

No. They are a type of plastic. Our floors are tile and so far we have not had any problems.

No they are well designed. You remove the original rubber feet in the back and the glides just snap right in. My 90 yr old dad glides along carpets as well as hardwood floors with his walker now that I popped the new glides in.

Yes absolutely, I've used them on hard wood floors for a year now. No marks. no scratches.

I have mine on ceramic tile and they do not move at all, so my assumption is they will work on hard wood floors as well.

I gift this toy to alot of friends and family. I have never owned this particular toy but having two girls under 3 i do have similar riding toys. And like you i too have hard wood floors. That bring said ive not noticed any scratches to my floors with any of these toys. Even when my seven year old plays with them. Not sure how well this helps but its the best i have.

Glides perfectly. The only issue, which is minor, is that is slides on the hard wood floors slightly. I like it.

Yes, it comes with a carpet glide. I have not used it as I have hard surface floors.

Ehh, probably not wood floors. These are kind of big for regular chair legs, too. I use them for under sofa legs on carpet. Your best best would be felt on wood floors. For sound purposes too. I am sensitive because my apartment is under some people who don't have felt pads. People don't just slide chairs like you would assume - They pick them up and slam them beck down on the floor. If you want hard plastic glides and no one lives below you, then I would at least recommend smaller versions of these.

no! They are a hard plastic and would not glide on carpet and would scratch a wood or tile floor. They are only meant to be a stationery lift for a bed frame.

I have all hard wood floors, but my brush bar got tangled up and stopped spinning (even after removing hair and fuzz from bristles) after about 10 uses.

Yes, the bottom was the part that was dsmaged(paint was coming off). It does work on hard wood floors, and will not scratch them or slide on them. Let us know if you have any other questions.

no, but with continued use maybe. the small whees at the bottom start to shred over time (circa 3-6 months depending on your use pattern), and can get small particles stuck in them which can then scratch the floor. just be careful, keep them clean, consider replacing early.

It doesn't affect wood floors at all. It's kinds hard to use on wood floors if they are slippery but it won't damage them.
