Can I use it on wood floor in a home office under an office chair to protect the wood?

You could do that. It's a little squishy so I don't know how a rolling chair would do, but a stationary chair, no problem. My kids have their desk and table on it and it's fine.

Hello, Rachel: I don't think I'd recommend this product to be used for protection under an office chair. I see 2 problems arising here. First of all, if you're only using 4 feet of mat (or so), you'll probably at some point roll off of the mat. It has a half inch lip, so it won't be easy to roll back onto the mat. Secondly, the legs/rollers of an office chair will leave divets or permanent indentations in the mat. I have a wood floor in my home office and I use a clear plastic chair mat, which works perfectly. You can get those in any Staples or office supply store for a very reasonable price. Good luck.

No - it just has teak runners (3 of them, one on each end and one in the center). The screws are inset, so they won't damage flooring underneath.

I put them on my kitchen chairs that sit on tile floor and they are wonderful. Quiet, slide easy, easy on the tile. They are very close to the chair leg and would pull fine over carpet. I don't see why it would work in a wood chair.

I would not use this unit on un-sealed wood floors. I would not use it on wood floors of any kind because of the risk of water going through the getting under the wood.

I would believe you could use this, BUT I would definetily not straight on a desk. I would put a mat under it. You may put too much pressure and I would NOT want to damage the desk. Good Luck, Joannie :)

I would think so, though admittedly mine is on a wood floor. Don't think it would be harmful however.

The mat has velcro around perimeter that could be used for some traction if the floor was carpeted enough to adhere. Mat would slip across wood floor without something holding it in place. Hope this helps.

I would say no because of the material. We bought a cover to go under it just in case though as our chairs have a leather pad. This also helps keep the chair clean.

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.

I'm thinking you can, but only if the chair reclines is whether you can find some use of it. It's a pretty firm foot stool too. It does have the tendency to slide a bit unless your feet are applying pressure down on it. I guess maybe adding some non-slip tape on the bottom to prevent from sliding further may work. I have mine underneath my desk almost hitting the back of the wall and therefore it really has no place to go from there. Hope this tip helped.

The product literature says it can, but I don't have any wood floors so can't confirm that it would be safe. It works well on my duro-ceramic tile floor and on carpet.

Yes. It could damage your flooring? I use mine in my puppy room which is in my finished basement. I put a large piece of lino under it to protect floor.

I don't think so. But I used mine on a carpeted floor. Unless you have a really active baby or a dog inside the gate, I don't think it would harm a hard wood floor.

You'll want to avoid any use that causes it to flex much. The suggestion to use rigid ceramic tiles underneath it is good. If you're just resting your feet on it while you sit at a desk and not putting your full weight on it, then it might be ok on top of 'soft' carpeting.It can discolor varnished wood floors if in direct contact!

Yes you can use it on wood my husband uses it on a wooden desk and it hasn't caused rings yet.

I have the chair on a carpet that is on a solid wood floor. I have it on the carpet to protect the floor. I am sure that it would work very well on tile floor however, if I were to put the chair on a tile floor, I would still put something down to protect the tile. For the price I am very happy with the chair. Hope this helps.

Yes. That's all I use it for. Works really well on certain rubber floors and carpet. Not sure about wood though.
