Part of the problem is that these chairs are quite heavy, so they tend to sink into this cushy floor. The casters even left indentations when the chairs sat empty for a while. At least these sliders don’t do that. Maybe eventually my legs will get stronger and I’ll be able to slide the chairs more easily. 🙄😂Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-9882725341780397832019-01-12T11:01:27.814-06:002019-01-12T11:01:27.814-06:00Love your small pouches.

When we went from caroet to hardwood floor, I did not want the chairs or stools in our house marking my new hardwood floor. So I crocheted socks for them. They have lasted since 2007 and only a few need to be replaced. <br />I might try sewing new ones but will have to design a pattern to fit the tapered leg. I found the pattern for crochet ones online back in 2007 but not sure if it still exists. I will check my files.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-76405165346847723932019-01-11T14:16:32.375-06:002019-01-11T14:16:32.375-06:00Thanks, Annette, for your suggestions.

Also, it’s not mainly the surface of the linoleum that could get damaged. It’s the shifting back and forth that could eventually make it come loose, which is what happened to the old floor... after 40 years. But it was a much harder linoleum.<br /><br />I’ll check into a mat, but if they have much of an edge on them, they could be more bother than they’re worth.<br /><br />Yay for MN sewing grammies! 👏🏻 But we probably don’t live anywhere near each other. And my old tank of a sewing machine is not portable. 😏Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-42208808545042549022019-01-11T06:59:41.046-06:002019-01-11T06:59:41.046-06:00My opinion on the floor is that whoever buys the h...My opinion on the floor is that whoever buys the house will change everything after closing, <br />so they aren’t worried about it having a 50 year warranty. Or a few marks.<br />Put the rollers back on your chair only perhaps and see if its an improvement. Note what it does to the surface. <br />There is a clear hard mat for office chairs on non carpeted surfaces. I had to get one for my sewing room, since we put in a floating wood floor. We were told the same thing about the wheels of the chair on the floating wood, but they did say the mat was quite acceptable. <br /><br />I’m in minnesota too and a gramma too! <br />Wish we could meet and sew together!Annettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-39559175497785496252019-01-07T07:06:58.165-06:002019-01-07T07:06:58.165-06:00Thank you, Gen! 💕

I can see the resemblance and sadly, other than getting new chairs, I have no better idea than the felt you already tried. <br /><br />The oilcloth and the glitter pouches are both my favourites, but the other two are really lovely too. <br /><br />I hope your wrist will keep healing as fast as possible!

The things we got (as well as the original casters) have a post that goes up into the chair. When they’re off, there’s nothing to attach anything to.
