Would it be OK to place on hardwood floor? Would the material interact with or damage the wood floor?

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.

No. You might want to put down a noskid mat or area rug under it. However it is only the outside perimeter and the perimeter of the small opening in the middle that is in contact with the floor. The raised part of the platform that the chair sits on does not touch the floor. I have hardwood floors and it works like a charm.

Appears so - hardwoods are all I have in my house. As long as you don't press down on the tube/head while using it, I can't imagine it doing any damage.

No it's too light to do any harm. We have hardwood floors and haven't had a problem.

The leg bottoms are flat. I think they would be fine on hardwood assuming you pick them up when u move them.

I had mine on hardwood floor but I think it should be ok because all of the vents are on the side.

I have not used on hardwood floor. I would try in a corner that does not show...to test.

I am using mine on hardwood floors and have seen no problems. I am not certain about raised wood flooring. It would depend on the floor's weight strength and stability I suppose.

I have mine on a laminate wood floor and it's fine. The center stabilizer was broken when I received it, so I just unscrewed it and replaced it with a block of wood the same size and it's fine. Great looking product!

I am not sure, but I wouldn't risk it. I would either clear a wide circle around where to place the place or, do as I do, place it on a low wooden platform.

Regrettably I can't answer that question becase we never put it directly on hardwood or painted wood surfaces. HOWEVER, putting some on a small yogurt lid works well. We also put ours directly on tile surfaces without damage. My husband uses the yogurt lid and slides that under furniture where our dogs can't get it. The small yogurt lid can be placed on window sills behind the blinds, too.

Ours is very stuck to the floor, so must be semi-permanent. It could possibly damage the hardwood floors when you try to remove.

I asked my husband and he said yes! He doesn't see any problem. We have hardwood floors which is why I wanted to ask him first before responding but like I said, his response was a definite yes!! Hope this helps!!

It is a hard plastic. I would probably get a piece of felt or similar fabric and glue it to the bottom before putting onto a hardwood floor.

I use this on my hardwood floors in my living room...I just put a square of drawer liner under it. As others have written, i wouldn't drag or slide it across.

No, I have hardwood floors and I put a thick blanket between it and the floor. I would lay it directly on carpet though.

I've got it setting on hardwood, myself, and haven't had a single problem. The base is wide enough that it shouldn't be a problem!
