We personally position them where they can be used by just swivelling. Once sitting in them, it's hard to move them and before sitting in them, if they're set at the proper place for free movement, you don't need to move them. When we do move them, we lift up and set down. Anything can scratch a wood/laminate floor.

yes, I've tried putting felt on the bottom, which didn't work because there was not enought area to adhere the felt to. our chairs have been moved to my gardening room and our garage...

No, just go to your local store and buy the felt stuff you put on the bottom of furniture that prevents it from scratching the floor. Same thing.

Yes, I have, but my cat is definitely not a lightweight and he scratches on the material as well as where the area where he is supposed to scratch. I have to tell you though that my cat absolutely LOVES this thing. The bottom is too small for him - again big cat, 19" long and 16 lbs - but he loves scratching on it and loves sitting in it. My husband, who is usually skeptical of things like this that I buy, is impressed by how much he loves it. We've had this for at least 6 months so it has definitely worth it.

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 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.

Yes, it can scratch. Its not an issue with the construction, its the finish - solid wood with that finish would likely scratch as well.

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.

I don't know about this chair as the seller sent a wrong one that I returned. In general, never use hard plastic rollers on real hardwood floor. There will always be dirt caught by the rollers that transforms the rollers into effective "sandpaper" rolls, slowly and steadily destroying varnish and wood. Always have your chair on a mat.

I agree with Joey... I would cancel your purchase of this chair if I were you. The hydraulics went within a few weeks, the material scratches really easily, and all the side screw covers didn't fit in properly. To answer your question, I use mine on a hardwood floor and it doesn't seem to have caused any damage to it.

I'm sitting in this chair right now, had it for a few months and have never had the wheels come off. I do recall having to violently pound them into place when i was first assembling the chair. I almost felt as if I might break something given the force required to properly seat the wheels but I havent had a problem with them coming out. I would recommend getting the wheels in as well as you can and then hammering down on the chrome piece above the wheels until they slide deeper into place. Just make sure to use a rubber mallet or place a towel between the hammer and the chrome so as not to scratch it up.

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!

I haven' had a problem at all. I do make sure there are any larger chunks of things on the floor though. A piece of glass might flip around in the beater bar and scratch the wood. That's the case with any vacuum I suppose. I've been really happy with it. Only complaint is that the cord gets in the way.

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.

They should not scratch. There are screw-in rubber leveling feet for the bottom of the legs of the chairs and table.

I don't have any problems with it scratching my computer. I have a MacBook Pro and I was afraid of that. I used it for about 4 months without any problems with it scratching my computer but then I eventually bought a protective case for my computer as well.

I wouldn't think so. We have Pergo floors so they are much harder to scratch than real hardwood and haven't had any issues, but I think that's because the wheels are a softer rubber, like a roller skate wheel. We only let our daughter ride it inside though, if she rode it outside she might get tiny pieces of asphalt stuck in the soft rubber of the wheels and then those could scratch the floors.
