Chair Leg Pads: A Reliable Ones to Keep Your Floors From Getting Scratched

This walkthrough follows the order the room was actually finished. Looking for chair leg pads that will actually STAY ON your chairs? I share the ones that have worked best for me! (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here})

Hi all! I'm at our house in NC after driving down with my sister last week to visit my parents (including an early celebration of my dad's birthday) and to work on a few house projects. I knocked out a super quick & simple project yesterday to solve this small but annoying problem that I'm guessing many of you have too:

Yep, the felt pads that you put on the bottom of chairs and stools constantly end up stuck to the sides of chair legs instead of underneath them. I decided to try out {these felt pads} that nail on to the chair legs that a friend of mine swears by:

They come in white, brown, & black in various sizes – you want to order ones that are slightly smaller than the size of the chair legs (mine are the 24mm white). It took me only about 10 minutes to add them to my kitchen counter stools. You simply pull of the plastic caps that are already on the chair legs with some pliers (do it carefully because you don't want the nail breaking off in the wood!):

and then gently nail the new felt pads onto the bottom:

It's so easy and those felt pads aren't going anywhere! I'm totally adding these to my other chairs that are on hardwoods too! Just be sure that if you don't already have nailed-on plastic caps on your chairs like I did, that you pre-drill holes for these new ones before adding them. If you try to hammer them in without any pre-existing holes, you risk splitting the legs of your chairs.

And with that… It would help if you all enjoy the rest of your weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
