Are your dinning room chairs or any other wood chair or table scratching your hardwood floors? If your dinning room is like mine you have tried the adhesive backed felt tips, but they keep wearing out, or worse yet, falling off. What I did was remove the metal base on all my chairs that I have on wood floors and installed Felt Based Nail On Glides. The Felt Based Nail on Glides come in 7/8″ or 1-1/8″ diameters. Low and behold, 6 months later they are still on the chairs. I took a screw drive and mallet and tapped the screw driver under the metal base and then pried it off. I then purchase the Felt Based Nail on Glides. And then used the mallet to tape on my new Felt Base Nail on Glides. You could also use the Tap-On Safeglides, which have a round wood cutting ring that you tap on to your wood chair legs. The Tap-On Safeglides come in 7/8″, 1″, or 1-1/2″ diameters. These two felt based glides can be ordered on our Protective Chair Tips page. Below are images of the Felt Base Nail on Glide, and the Tap-On Safeglides.
The above image shows the Felt Based Nail On Glide.
