are these as protective for wood floors as the felt covered casters? these are about half the price...

I've have had them on two office chairs for about 3 months of daily use on hardwood floors and so far they work great. The rubber is softer than the casters that came on the chairs, so they roll smoothly and don't mark up the floor. I, don't know how they would work on laminates since my floors are solid oak.

better than the casters that came with the chair but not really as protective as the felt covered ones. Hope this helps.

No. If anything were to get caught between the roller and the floor, it could etch it.

Yes. The tips of the legs that the casters go into have a short length on them. If using on a hardwood floor, at felt pads. Otherwise fine on carpet.

I do not know if these casters roll easily on carpet. I purchased them to see if they would prevent excessive wear on heavy plastic floor mat. The original castors cracked the lighter floor mat within three years. But I weigh 200 pounds and that might help to wear excessively. I have not tried them on my low carpet.

They are plastic, but two separate pieces which makes them move easier. I got a second opinion in my household (we do not have wood floors)the opinion is, it will not scratch your floors.

Oh, NO, please don't. I wish I had asked others like you do now before I purchased and used them on my wood floor. I have scratches on my floor now. The contact side is hard plastic. So if there is any tiny debris or particles, it leaves scratches. Even it is absolutely clean, the contact is not smooth for moving and causes damage easily. Noop...

No, you'll want to purchase different casters that are softer for wood floors.

Hard to say how long they will last as that depends on the surface of the floor (the smoother the longer they will last, the rougher, the quicker they will wear, think of sand paper wearing them down). Ours are 6 months old on stools used at a kitchen island on a new smooth hardwood floor, so slid multiple times per day and so far they look almost as good as new, with slight crushing, but that would be expected with felt from day one when it gets compressed the first time. For the price, and how they are holding up so far I would recommend them. Take it for what it is worth, but I am an electrical engineer who works with electrical and non-electrical consumer products.

Yes,I am using them on carpeted floors now. You may wish to achor them to your wall for safety. Good solid consruction for this price level

No, these are very user friendly and work very well on all types of floors, in my experience. They have a long life as well. I highly recommend the cloths.

They are pretty light. But that said, since they are metal, if they are dropped on the foot, it can hurt. Also, we have had the kids drop these on our hard wood floors. Not the best, but what can you do?

Yes, I believe they did scratch our wood floor when the chairs slid in and out from our island. However, I placed (inexpensive) pads on the bottom of all the legs/feet & that took care of it. I still love these chairs- although my kids are constantly swiveling back n forth when sitting in them, which nicks up the wood on the sides of the chairs (from our granite counter top). Wished I would have got non-swivel/stationary chairs.

I have Pergo floors and bought these to keep my sectional together. They did not do so, but they did keep the floors from getting scratched

I can't say for wood flooring but I used these on a cart I built for my bathroom which has laminate flooring and they work great and don't leave any marks on that. Hope this helps some!

Not really. These are meant for temporary use to move furniture. They're not designed to protect carpet. These would be noticeable and ugly because they're too big. They have curved white plastic bottoms about 1/4" thick with about 3/8" black foam glued on top. The furniture sits in the foam to keep it from moving on the pads.

I have not had any problems with these floorsavers. They seem to be quite durable and they are on kitchen chairs.

It seems to me that this is a question for the manufacturer from a durability and longevity perspective (and what they warranty). However, from a materials standpoint if you are using them for a work out it may not be thick enough to absorb lots if bouncing shock. They are about 1 inch thick perfect for a wood floor or over carpet. Also, I would suggest picking them up after use because they are not designed as a long term walking surface.

They should be. although I would use a chair mat. I have an older one that is clear plastic for hard surfaces, there are none of the little spikes on the bottom for carpet. The casters helped me save my chair from going to Goodwill. This was for a set of 5, Nadine.
