I square rubber thingies were delivered yesterday and I tried them on a chair. They did not work too well. For a start, the rubber still made a bit of a noise when the chair was moved, also chair didn't slide under table so well. Also, the black rubber just did not go with the rest of the kitchen.
So it's back to the stick on foam things which I've had before. It's true they have to be defluffed and sometimes they come unstuck but still the best option.
Socks for the chair legs - just love it. But I'm sure DH would think I had completely lost my mind. At present we felt on the bottom of chairs/table/sofa etc and it's been on for years though the dining chairs do need de-fluffed every couple of months.
There are some square ones, Petallus. On EBay, too. I've just emailed the company to ask for exact sizing for my chairs, as the descriptions don't give a size for mine on any of the ones that look suitable. They're mostly made by the same company.
Thinking on the same lines as phoenix, but if they are going to be dragged along, maybe cork would not be durable enough, and the glue might not last too long.
What about some rubber........ remember the rubber stick on soles bought in Woolworths, or a square of carpet stuck on, all cut to size of course, or rubber from the cycle shop for mending punctures!
I don't think it would be all that easy to lift the chairs. I seem to have to sit down with the chair a bit away from the table and then shuffle nearer.
I have looked at the rubber feet on Amazon. A possible solution though they are somewhat unsightly.
I hate it petallus so I'd love to know the answer too. DGS2, who is currently living with us, carries the little blue plastic stool around but when he needs to be higher he drags the chairs all over the place! At least it's an early warning system and we rush to see what he's up to!
Carpet? Lift the chairs up instead of pulling them along? You can buy push on rubber feet for stools but it would depend on the size of your chair legs.
The wooden legs of my new chairs make a horrid scraping noise on the stone floor of my kitchen.
The previous chairs did the same but I bought a kit of self adhesive felt bits to stick on the ends of the legs. These weren't all that satisfactory because after a while they came unstuck and collected bits of fluff.
Any better ideas on how to deal with this teeth-on-edge making noise?
