Does anyone use this ramp on wood floors? What's on the bottom to stop it moving around? Thanks.

There's nothing on the bottom. It will probably slide on a wood floor unless you add some sort of stopper.

I had trouble with mine moving a little on our wood floors It didnt seem to bother my dogs but it annoyed me I bought the large memory foam bath mats and placed them under my ramps and it keeps them from moving I have 12 dogs so believe me when I say these ramps have been well tested at our house I think they are wonderful I bought replacement covers so when they need washed i have another set of covers to put on so the dogs are never without their ramps

I do not use it on wood floors, but I believe it would slide because of the fabric bottom. However, I think that could be easily solved by putting a small throw rug (the type with a nonslip bottom) or a piece of nonslip rug pad. This ramp is terrific for my old Yorkie. It took her a couple of days to get used to it, but since then she uses it all the time. I highly recommend it.

I don't use it on wood, it is just a fabric bottom like a rough cotton. Perhaps a little rubber mat like you can buy to line your cabinets? The ramp itself is great! So much better than pet stairs for older dogs!

This ramp works great on carpet but you would have to treat the bottom with non-slip material. I would recommend a can of spray on vinyl such as used to make tools non-slip.

I cannot answer your question about wood floors as we use them on laminate floors. Sorry.

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

I don't believe so....the only comment I would make is about WHERE you use it, not WHO...can't do too much on a wood floor - it can slide.

We have wood floors too. It has rubber traction on the bottom of the wheels so it helps to not let it out from under the kids. It pushes just fine on carpet as well

Item was returned. Earlier model did not cause a problem on wood floor. My daughter returned it for other reason

I have wood floors as well as vinyl and have had no problems. My daughter has been able to walk freely around the house with this walker.

We have wood floors also. Works great. Wheels have a rubber strip around them to prevent scratching the floor.

I have mine on carpet and wanted to put some kind of slider under it. However, I found it too heavy (even empty!) to move easily since the unit spins but the bottom doesnʻt. So I left it as is. To move it, I empty it and then slowly push it using the base.

It moves very easily on my wood floors. I move it from a bedroom to the great room without a problem. It's mobility was a main factor in my purchase and I haven't been disappointed.

We have the black one and we put pads on the bottom of it to assure it would not scratch the wooden floor. Even though it is so heavy, it is relatively easy to move. We want it to be relatively stationary so casters would not benefit us. I'd recommend not to use them unless there was a need to move the unit a material distance all the time.

It's a rubbery slightly dome shaped bottom. It doesn't easily slide around, nor does it scratch our wood floors. It works great. My husband uses it and loves it.

Yes it will slide on hardwood floors, we placed something beside it on the outside to stop it. I didn't remember getting anything to prevent it sliding, but it might have!

I would try the rubber backing you buy to put under rugs. Try gluing pieces of this on to the ramp where it meets the floor. Put it on the underneath part to make sure it doesn't stop the ramp from sliding in and out when you want it to adjust. Small container of Gorilla glue and a small size of rubber backing should work.

You can do it underside, but some times if the wood is rough enough, the anti slip material. Won't allow you to move the track... Sometimes it allows it and you have to clamp it

No, it only has plastic on the bottom. Works fine on my carpet, not sure how it would do on a wood floor.

There are sliders for wood floors but they have a cloth on the base instead of a plastic which touches the wood floor. These are good for sliding across carpet. I would use Waxman 4710495N Felt Bottom round Furniture Sliders if I were moving furniture over a tile or wooden floor. Hope that helps! I'd hate for you to scratch your wood floor with the hard plastic bottom of these if a piece of sand or grit gets between the plastic and the floor.
