Lorell Clear Sleeve Floor Protectors

I have 1 inch square legs on the back of some 1890's chairs..The feet are all carved different angles. I got these out of the package and thought-Oh, great-too small...sad. Well, they are not too small-just super tight. I did not use a hair dryer to expand them. I just tipped them on to 1 side and then used a butter knife to pry them over the chair leg and wiggled them down until they were flat on the chair leg bottom. It was not super easy and if you have arthritis get some help. TOTALLY WORTH the effort though. I have had everything imaginable on these chairs and nothing has works. These are super and glide well over the floor. They do not pick up cat hair. I tried the gorilla glue adhesive ones and what a joke. If you put any weight on the chair they slip all around and if the adhesive is exposed , it sticks to the floor. The front legs of chairs I have had excellent luck with the pound in spiked felt ones. The fronts of my chairs are rounded, shaped/clawfoot type legs but the back legs are square. I will by these for the back legs over and over if necessary.

Saves the floors

These worked extremely well for me and appear to be one of those hard to find high quality items that do a specific job very well. They are made in the U.S. as well! I tried all sorts of stick-on felt and even nail on sliders for my wooden kitchen chairs. They all came off in a few weeks and allowed scratching on the floor. The design of these looks much better, I will update after a few months of use if I have a different than expected experience, but so far these seem perfect for my application.My only critical comment is that the first set I bought didn't fit because it was too small, despite the fact that the diameter of the leg matched the diameter shown in the item description. I chalk it up to the nature of online shopping, not the product or the seller. Just to help yourself out though, you may need to size up to 1/8" larger size than the diameter of the leg you measure, or even 1/4" larger if the legs are cut at an angle or tapered. Just be sure to order a small amount of the size you think you need and test fit them before placing a larger order for all your chairs.

The Product is OK If you have a Chair leg larger that what they state. They state it would fit 1 inch to 1.2 inches. My chair leg measured 1.2 inch and these slide off. I assumed if they fit 1 inch I would need to stretch them and have a tight fit. Instead of returning them I rapped tape around the leg then installed them. The one layer of electrical tape was enough to keep them from falling off.

We bought these 5 years ago to protect the wood floors in our dining room. We tried the adhesive felt pads, but those fell off after a few weeks. These floor protectors stay on and help the chairs slide more smoothly. They stay on with friction, so you need to measure carefully to make sure you get the right size. They are still working well after 5 years but we lost a few in a move, so I'm back for more.

We have soft, pine floors. We've tried multiple methods to keep our dining room chairs from dinging up the floor, but nothing was working. The legs of the chair are somewhat angled, so even when we purchased and screwed-in the protective pads into the base of our chair's legs, they'd wear unevenly and scrape the floor. I thought these might look horrible, but they truly are much clearer than they look in the photo. Our chairs glide easily across the floor without damage. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 b/c we've only had them for 2 months, and I am not certain how long they will hold up due to the felt bottoms (Maybe plastic glider tips may be more durable/longer lasting? Don't know.). They aren't cheap, so if I have to purchase them every few months, it could get expensive.

I was really hoping these would be the answer to easy gliding chairs on our wood floors. They are not. The seat glides well if you are NOT sitting in them. They do protect the chair legs from indentations on the wood floor. However, if you sit in the chair with them on the chair legs, you still have to push hard to move the chair to move it. Could they not make one of these exactly like these that have a slick end!!??The size: the 1" size was difficult to put on my 1" chair legs. Took me quite a wile to soften the plastic with my hand to gradually place it all the way on. Much better to buy the 1 1/4" size for 1" chair legs.

These felt caps got me out of a bind with my client. I was working in a client's house and she complained that there was no practical way to protect her new wood flooring from bar stool damage. I saw she had tried duct-taping felt to stool legs. I ordered the 'as-seen-on-tv' caps, but they were way too large circumference for this application. I looked like a couch-potato engineer- then I found Lorell caps in various sizes. I told her I had read that some people heat them with a blow dryer to fit over irregular shapes, but they fit like a glove straight away. She immediately planned on ordering some for other chairs in her family room. I came out looking like the 'go-to' guy for solutions. I guess I should stock Lorells on the truck for future clients.
