Are the feet protected by plastic caps? I have hardwood floors and want to use these in the pantry, but I don't want to scratch or dent the floor.

I have wheels on all three of my units because it helps to roll so smoothly. I felt under the wheels, and it appears to be a circular bottom, as opposed to the square top. There is a circle of rubber, going around the bottom of each leg. If you plan to move it around often, the wheels are the way to go.

Surfaces are hard plastic. Would suggest using a foam pad between Knee Pads and floor. Otherwise and depending on the wood they could cause dents. jlg

No. They are a type of plastic. Our floors are tile and so far we have not had any problems.

They should not scratch any surfaces. They are made of plastic. They are a bit more slippery on smooth surfaces than carpet though. My son got the hang of it first on carpet and then I let him in the (linoleum) kitchen.

There is hard plastic lining the metal. I have mine on carpet. Im not sure if they will scratch but you can probably glue some felt on. I love these stools and constantly get compliments, and for the price its def worth doing the little extra to make it work for you.

They have plastic insert bottoms, so the metal should not touch the floor. You might be able to attach felt pads to the bottoms as well.

I have 4 perm mounted to stained concrete at a bar.. so they of course do not scratch. I do have 4 more free standing that can be moved around. And they get moved by the pool table all the time. So far they have not damaged the floors. But they are great bar stools!

I put those little felt pads on the feet of mine to protect my floors. Otherwise I think they probably might.

I'm not so sure if this are really Rubber Wheels? why? simply because if they really were Rubber they would be FLAT couldn't hold the weight put on them. I use them everywhere, I have not had marks or scratches on my floors I use them on cement and on Laminate floors. no problems on my side. But like the law of things? try it on a piece of what ever you are going to use them on and see for yourself. I'm very happy with how they work and hold the weight and they do not go flat if left on the same spot a long time. I have not moved the shelves for a period of 8 months the last time and when I moved the rack it rolled. :) hope it helps...

Just to be clear. It is okay to use on hardwood floors? These are not laminate but they are finished.

I have had them for a couple of months but don't think they will leave damage since they are made of plastic. Also, they are expandable which allows you to fit them securely without being too tight like the wooden ones.

I have hardwood floors, the wheels are duel plastic type but I have my chair on a plastic floor mat because I think any wheels will wear enough to damage a floor be it hard wood or linoleum type floor .

They are plastic. The back wheels are bigger and are a softer plastic. The front wheel is a little harder plastic, and it is smaller. I have not noticed any scratching on my floor, but my floor is not in the best condition.

I think there are hard plastic caps on the bottom. I added felt pads to mine.

There is no floor protectors but the foot is rounded slightly. There are always those felt protectors if needed.

Mine sits on carpet so I didn't notice. The plastic feet are more like protectors if you have it on wood floors.
