Joanie, we are replacing carpet with engineered bamboo and looking for floor protection, too! My DH has seen little plastic cups that something like bed wheels would go into. Like you, I want to wait till we're done and take my time deciding on rugs.

We have the stick on felt pads like Martha mentioned on the furniture in the areas that currently have laminate flooring. My problem with those (other than that they are fairly pricey) is that cat fur and dirt immediately sticks to the adhesive.

My main concern are our three rolling desk chairs. I saw somewhere on the web that there are rubber wheels that are softer and won't damage the floors, but I bet the wheels cost more than the chairs did!

@Martha Scott

what brand felt protectors and where do you buy them? For the last few years, the ones I’ve used are terrible. They don’t stick like they used to and I need to frequently replace them.

I quickly went through 3 sets of the stick on fabric/felt(?) protectors for my DR table and chairs. They probably lasted only 3 maybe 4 uses. I'm now using the ones that have little triangular prongs that get hammered into the legs. They've now been on for about 7 months. I just checked them and the felt layer on the chair legs is wearing some but I bet they're good for another 5 months. The table doesn't get moved as much so they're still looking good.

Joanie, yesterday my husband found some non-stick-on pads at Lowe's. They are felt on the bottom and rubber or some other non-slip material on the surface that the furniture sits on. The ones he picked up are big (about 4" x 6") and were expensive IMHO at $9.00 for 4 of them. but they would be useful for large pieces of furniture and don't have adhesive to catch hair and dust.

I just found these Cat socks

Only 15 in stock!

OMG, those are so cute I might have to order them! I wonder how the real cats would react to them. :)

I put the felt type things on the bottom of my chair legs and they just do not stay on. So ordered some from Amazon that I hope do better. Here is the link:

I just bought two 20-piece packs of the cat socks. LOL

The cat socks are so cute! I didn't realize there was such a thing as chair leg socks. I've used the stick on things and they're okay but don't sty on if a chair that's usually on a rug but you want protection in case someone slides off onto the adjacent wood floor. I'm seriously considering the cat socks for that scenario.

These are in all sizes, peel and stick and they never fail. They are round peel and stick in many sizes. So easy to apply and they don't show. floor protectors.
