                    Hullo
What's the best way to protect a wooden floor from being marked/scratched by oversize leather chairs? They have large A4 size wooden feet and are fairly heavy.
Also wondering the same for a heavy leather bed going into a carpeted room.
The property is rented, so want to ensure no damage is caused.
Thanks :j

            You can buy felt pads with sticky on one side from any decent DIY store.0

            Your furniture is far too heavy for sticky pads which will just crush to nothing and be useless and I've never seen a sticky pad the size of a sheet of A4!!!
 Cut up an old carpet so that you get rectangles to match the exact zie of each foot. Place each carpet upside down on wooden floor under each foot.

            If you go to Carpetright website, you can request free samples. Think the free samples are about 3" square. Don't know though if thats big enough for your needs?0
