IKEA says its TRIXIG stick-on felt protectors help prevent scratches and make chairs easier to move; the maker also recommends cleaning the attachment area and replacing pads when thin or worn. Results vary with flooring, weight and pad adhesion.

0 / 6 done

Check your flooring and whether the furniture legs have flat contact points. Pads do not make dragging heavy furniture completely safe.
Carefully tilt or lift the furniture on stable ground, with help if needed. Avoid trapping hands or balancing a heavy item precariously.
Wipe debris from each leg contact surface and let it dry fully so the adhesive can grip.
Choose a felt pad size and shape that fits the contact area without excessive overhang.
Remove the backing, center each pad and press evenly. Follow any product-specific adhesion or curing directions.
Inspect the pads and floor periodically. Replace detached, thin or worn pads, and remove grit that could scratch the surface.
