We have wood floors and worry about scratching them with metal chairs. Do these gliders ? Or could we attach felt pads ?

I don't think that will be a problem. My chairs arrived with black plastic plugs or inserts on the bottom of each leg. Feels like either plastic or nylon. The bottoms of legs are flat, so felt could be attached. Hope that helps.

Yes, the have gliders. However, they appear to be sturdy. On't lean back in the. Two of our are all ready broken.

We have wood floors too. It doesn't seem to be a problem for us at all, but I have considered butting some on just in case.

They have plastic insert bottoms, so the metal should not touch the floor. You might be able to attach felt pads to the bottoms as well.

I don't recall the bottom, as mine are on tile floor. However, I do believe you could use felt pads plus they are very light weight chairs.

Laugh at this one, but we have tennis balls on our chair legs. Why? ... just because we hate the noise the legs make when sliding them in and out. Now we can push them across the floor without much effort at all. Ha Ha.

We have the nail-in magic sliders on 8 heavy solid wood chairs -- our floors are very uneven - 3 x 6 inch terrazo bricks with very deep and wide grouting in between. Our chairs are pulled in and out from the table several times a day and I think in 5 or 6 years of use, maybe one slider has fallen off. The chairs are almost silent, and there are no marks on the floor. I would suggest getting the largest diameter glides that will fit the base of your chair legs, to even out the floor roughness.

We bought a multi-pack of various size felt slides at a big-box warehouse store. We roughed up the bottom of the chair w/sand paper & put a dab of wood glue on it & then applied a felt slide & let it dry. This method lasts for years (we've done this to all our wood furniture). Works great and doesn't harm our wood floors.

No, but I put felt sliders on the vinyl plastic sliders already on the unit. I have wooden floors. The Ottoman is light but very sturdy.

They are hard plastic, and will scuff your floors or floor mat. If you have wood flooring, you are definitely going to want to use a protective floor mat underneath the chair.

There are plastic coasters on ours and then we put the felt glue-on on top of those. Also, not sure if the plastic coasters were on when purchased or if we put those on too. Purchased a year ago and no problems with them.

I would not use these on hardwood as-is. The feet are pretty hard and would slide/scratch. Perhaps you could find some rubber or felt pads for them.... They are heavy enough that they wouldn't slide with felt.

They most likely would. The felt protects wood floors from scratching. The plastic ones slide across carpet so I would say go with these.

Yes, I believe they did scratch our wood floor when the chairs slid in and out from our island. However, I placed (inexpensive) pads on the bottom of all the legs/feet & that took care of it. I still love these chairs- although my kids are constantly swiveling back n forth when sitting in them, which nicks up the wood on the sides of the chairs (from our granite counter top). Wished I would have got non-swivel/stationary chairs.

Not really sure what they're made of, perhaps the website could be a help. But, it seems like it might be a honeycomb or similar structure on the inside, which would account for it's strength. The outside is an expoxy/resin type base, with a sand-like substance mixed-in for grip, I assume. As long as you're not using them on a wood floor, you should have no problem with them scratching a surface. Hope this helps.

The legs do have felt pads to prevent damaging floors. So far the pads have stayed in place well.

Mine has little plastic ends on the bottom of the legs. I have hardwood floors and they do not scratch.

they have a rubber pad on the bottom. you could also add a felt pad to be safe.

They are made for wood or tile floors. I use mine for wood floors. Just tested my stools on short carpet and they don't slide very well on it. But don't stick either. You may have to experiment with different solutions. Have you thought about using felt on wood side and plastic on the carpet side? I had to cover a portion of my wood floor in a home office with rubber/carpet mats from Home Depot to keep from scratching the floor on a secretary chair with rollers.

They will definitely not 'slide' on carpet; however, it is doubtful that the felt will come off. In your case, I would just use these on the two legs that are on the hardwood floor and see how that works for you. For the two legs on the carpeted area, you may want to place non-felt pads such as sliders to make the chairs easier to move without lifting.

The legs have a hard plastic end. They seem smooth but to be doubly sure to protect the floor, you might want to use felt on the bottom of the leg.

just as you see in the pic.. 3 points of contact.., if the worry of scratching the floor.., cut to size ''felt'' and stick them to the points of contact,,. you can buy the felt any store really, adhesive on one side and fuzzy felt on the other.=====http://www.amazon.com/Waxman-4720095N-Self-Stick-Blanket-Oatmeal/dp/B0016L0M2I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1403201500&sr;=8-2&keywords;=felt+pads+for+furniture
