1. Check each leg's contact area and choose a pad that fits underneath. Do not replace nonslip anchors on furniture that must remain stationary with sliding felt.
2. Clear the chair and work on a stable level surface. Do not lift heavy or unstable furniture alone.
3. Wipe dust and grit from the bottom of each leg. Spot-clean only as permitted by its finish and wait until thoroughly dry.
4. Check for wax, grease and old adhesive. Avoid sharp scraping tools and strong solvents that could damage the finish.
5. Peel off the backing, center the pad and press firmly and evenly. Follow any pressure or curing instructions printed on the package.
6. Lower the furniture gently and test slow movement. Replace any pad that lifts or traps grit, cleaning the contact surface again first.
