What kind of material is on the bottom of the legs. Will this hurt my hardwood floors?

Hi Joan. The bottom has a small plastic piece on each leg. However, I would probably still put a small padding for hardwood floors

It is a plastic cap. Seems smooth and is somewhat tapered. I personally do not think it would scratch a hardwood floor.

I don't know the type exactly but it's something that prevents damage to my floor. I can honestly say this has been the best product purchased of amazon I highly recommend it

Yes, you could put rubber or felt on the bottom if you are concerned about scratching the floor. Check with your local home improvement center.

Has not damaged mine. The wheels are a soft rubber and I would find it hard to image that they would scratch or mar a wood floor.

They seem to be plastic. I'm not sure if they would scratch your floor. However, there are chair mats that are wood colored that you can put over your floor if you're worrying about scratching the floors. I love the chair, and I have a plastic mat over my carpeting in my office.

I just went and felt the tape I put on my basement stairs (a couple years ago now). It's like there are little granules/grit sprinkled throughout, but they're beneath a sort of coating of soft polymer. (I've noted before how it doesn't even feel uncomfortable to bare feet as you go quickly down the stairs, and I guess that's why.) I have wood floors myself, and I'd be comfortable trying what you said, though I'd make a note to check after 6 months or so to see if that coating wears off and exposes the granules/grit, which then might be abrasive to the floors. You're putting a lot of concentrated weight on the bottom rails of a rocking chair, so it might wear off faster than just people walking down stairs.

I have hard wood floors and I lie the baby on it and it doesnt seem to bother her. About the thickness of the mat its not like a gym pad. Its more like a bed comforter thickness.

Mine is on hardwood floors and there's been no problems. There is such a hard rubber covering on each leg that it not only protects the floor, but keeps the rebounder from moving.

The description says it has rubber padding at the bottom of legs. I have the same question though..

I have carpet and tile in my kitchen, so the chair does not slide well. The feet are plastic. I plan to look for a small slider that I can glue on to the bottom of the chair. Without protection on the bottom, I would not use them on a hard wood floor. I am sure the chair would scratch the floor. Perhaps Flash Furniture could answer that question for you. Otherwise, I am very happy with my two chairs.

I have wood and tile ..... honestly don't think it would damage floors it is lightweight and usually what goes in it is too...just bulky

It's a hard plastic. It won't scratch a hardwood floor, but it may leave scuff marks. It doesn't really slide. But you could easily push it on a wood floor

Hi KT, I have the desk on hardwood floors and haven't had any problems. The desk stays pretty stationary and isn't a problem and I'm careful about how I move the chair in and out. I imagine I could find some pad or another protective cover for the chair legs but I haven't had a need to do so. Hope this helps. The desk has worked out really well for me ... I have a small space and just needed something to keep organized. I also have pulled together the wrought iron look in other areas of the room so this desk fit in quite nicely.

Good question. I had to lean it over & feel the bottom to find out... It is wood that has ridges in it. I have mine on carpet so it isn't a problem. You may wanna buy rubber or silicone grips for the leg bottoms if you want to put this on anything but carpet so it doesn't slip.

Yes, there is padding on the bottom. It doesn't scratch my wood or tile floor. Makes it a lot more stable, too. It's great

The majority of the "pad" is hard plastic. I agree. It will damage your floor and that is why I sent them back.

It has foam "feet" on the bottom. It won't scratch your floors but it slides all over my tile flooring. I had to put a rug under it.

I have hardwood floors, the wheels are duel plastic type but I have my chair on a plastic floor mat because I think any wheels will wear enough to damage a floor be it hard wood or linoleum type floor .
