40pcs Round Heavy Duty Nail-on Felt Pad for Furniture Chair Table Leg Feet Floor Protectors Slide Smoothly (Brown, Pad Diameter 24mm)

These replaced the sticky ones on our dining chairs. The sticky ones don't do well frequently sliding back and forth, and the stickyness attracts fluff and cat hair badly! We replaced the sticky ones with these and they are great! After Two weeks, they have stayed firmly in place and little fluff has been gathering around the pads. When attaching them to the chair leg base, I would suggest making a guide hole with either an awl or a fine drill so that they stay straight whilst being nailed in.

This is going to be all about likes and dislikes, hopefully more likes than the other. First off I like wood floors or where that’s not practical, wood laminate floors. Unfortunately both a susceptible to scratching from furniture with the wrong kind of feet – usually metal, bare wood or hard plastic. The first thing I like to do when I bring new furniture into my house is to install felt or carpet pads on to the bottom of the feet or legs. Usually that can be done with stick on adhesive pads but that’s not so good on chair legs because as they slide around the adhesive works itself off. The better way for chairs with wood legs is to use nail-on pads. Unfortunately the headline for this product suffers from misguided information, they refer to these as anti-sliding which is just the opposite of what you want, you want these pads to slide, smoothly and freely on hard surface floors. If you want non-slip get rubber pads. Hopefully they catch and correct that error.What I really like are the nail-on pads with carpeted tips but those have been difficult to find lately, I guess it’s just a lot cheaper for them to use felt which works okay be doesn’t last as long and does tend to catch tiny particles of stones and debris.HOW TO INSTALLNail-on pads like this are great but the last thing you want them to do is split the wood of a furniture leg, it’s easy to accidentally do that and very difficult to repair. I see that the number one issue a few people had was with the nail bending. What I like to do is to drill a pilot hole first, then very gently tap the nail into the hole with a rubber mallet. If possible, try to cover the felt with a piece of cloth to prevent the mallet from leaving a residue on the felt. If that happens it’s easy to clean it off with any mild household cleaner.WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THESEThese are easy to find in stores but usually they only stock one size and one color, this company has many sizes and trim in black, brown or white for a professional finished look. And I like that you get 40 of them for about eight bucks, depending on which size you choose. They come in a plastic bag, no frills, no fancy plastic case.

Several problems with these. Previously used stick-on protectors, but because they leave a gooey substance when they need replacement, I thought I'd try these. However, these are difficult to install without a pilot hole. Nothing is provided or advised in terms of instruction on this and nothing included to create a pilot hole. If going into a hardwood, these will bend. Hammering too much or too hard causes felt to flatten. I'm guessing this will shorten the life on these and I needed to use more pieces than expected. The worst of it is, when they don't go in straight, the chairs (as in my case) wobble.

Installing them was easy. It was harder to pull off the old (failed) pads from another vendor than it was to hammer these in. The nails are small so I don't think you'd have to pre-drill the holes unless its into a very thin leg - of course you should pre-drill if you worried because its better safe than sorry. I'd feel terrible splitting out a bubinga leg on a $1000 chair. That said, into cherry it worked just fine. If I can remember, I'll report back in the future on how long they last on my uneven rock tile floors.

I have a wood dining set with tile flooring in my kitchen. It was always a struggle to find something to quiet the chairs against the floors. The little felt pads that you buy in stores never stay in place and I even bought little chair socks that I constantly had to pull up. These nail on felt pads are perfect! I popped out the existing nails that were on my chairs and put these on in the existing hole. NO MORE NOISE! It would be so easy for furniture manufacturers to make these standard! Great product! Highly recommend.

We were very disappointed with these. We got them for our kitchen chairs, and we have a wood floor. They were hard to nail onto the bottom of the chairs; they kept going sideways and bending the nail. Had to discard many due to bending. When we finally got all the chair legs covered, it was only 3 days before the nails started coming through the felt pads and scratched the floors. We ended up pulling them all out and getting the stick-on kind to replace them.

Bought this for my new dining chairs to protect my floor. They are hard to nail as my chairs wood leg are solid. What I did is I drill small holes first to the chairs before putting this using a hammer. They are perfect not only it protected my floori but no more noise when my kids pulls and push the chairs!! Good quality I highly recommend.

My kids tend to launch themselves on furniture even when they’re just trying to sit down and my wood floors were really taking a beating from the couch and chairs sliding around. I tried multiple types of sticky felt pads but none could stay adhered very well. These nail down felt pads are the answer. I put them on all our couches, chairs, tables, and I was even able to put them on our ikea high chair, which has rounded plastic balls on the legs.The plastic around the felt worries me a bit... it seems like at some point the felt will wear down and the plastic will scratch, but so far so good. Whenever that does occur I guess I’ll just pull them out and plug in a new one.Previous reviewers left helpful notes about predrilling holes - THANK YOU! At first I thought that wouldn’t be necessary but after 2 bent nails I got frustrated enough to go get the drill. With the drill, install was fast and easy. Thanks for the tip guys!
