How can using felt pads under sofa and table legs protect delicate flooring over time

Every time you nudge a chair, pull a table slightly, or someone flops onto a sofa, the legs move a bit. On wooden, laminate or softer stone floors, that movement can leave scratches and scuff marks.

Small felt pads stuck under each leg create a smooth, cushioned contact point. Furniture slides more gently instead of scraping. You can still move pieces to clean or rearrange without damaging the floor.

It’s a cheap, almost invisible addition that quietly saves you from a lot of heartache when you see the first big scratch in brand-new flooring.
