My dining room chairs were scratching my hardwood floors. Instead of spending money on the stick-on felt thingys that fall off, I cut furry fabric (I used a 2 liter bottle cap as a template for cutting) and hot glued them to the feet of all my chairs.

This is something I haven't thought about since the 1950s when everyone had hardwood floors. We bought a 1955 rancher and DH is refinishing the living room and hall floors. I just remembered some things I used to do to protect my floors when moving furniture.
I recently broke down an etagere' because the back brace wasn't there. I got tired of it wobbling so I removed it. They come apart in the middle, so I found myself with a perfectly good shelf.
As we all know, dogs will keep going back to the places they smell their scent. Even if we can not smell it, they can. My little Yorkie ruined our carpet, which we are pulling up and replacing with hardwood.

I have an antique rocker I would like to use on a hardwood floor. How can I keep it from scratching the floor other than buying an area rug for it?
By Rachel D.
Go to Home Depot, Lowe's or your local hardware store and buy felt strips that are made specifically to put on the bottom of furniture to keep it from scratching your floors. They also make the furniture very easy to move.
Hi - you can use felt on the bottom of the rocker but it could be "dangerous" as this will make the rocker slide very easily when you begin to use. It could "slide" right out from under you! I had a friend that had something similar happen and it had bad consequences - use an area rug.
Hopefully someone else may have a better idea.
