feet


looking for something non skid and also quiet and non marking

looked at current store offerings but think i will need to do
something custom

might try thick leather glued onto the wood but concerned about wear


if plastic is used would the uhmw wear well and will it leave marks

plastic or uhmw, unless textured, will most likely not fit the non skid requirement. What is the floor finish you are trying to protect?

Don't waste your time asking EC for details. He keeps details hidden in the same box as his
punctuation.

I don't see leather being durable. I have seen some commercial made
feet that make it very easy to slide furniture and do not mark the floor
but don't recall the brand.

I use felt for my kitchen chairs, and expect to replace them often. On
lighter stuff, I've used cork. What are the feet for?
