Alright mamas, I mentioned two home hacks this week – Night Light Outlet Covers and Folex Spot Cleaner. You all know I love a good mom hack, so I had to bring you one more.
I have always used the sticky felt pads for furniture, but this was recommended to me so it will be my immediate purchase after we get new dining chairs.
How do you get felt pads to stick to chair legs?
Are sticky felt pads constantly falling off your chair leg? I swear my ideal Halloween haunted house would include a circular felt pad on the floor and me running around to search every chair leg in the room for the location of the missing felt pad. I likely wouldn’t even need to dress up as I would have last nights dinner on my sweat shirt and my hair frazzled like I put my finger in an electric outlet (this is not recommended, do not try.)
If loosing a felt bottom chair glide also sounds similar to your October nightmare, take a look at this life hack an solution to get felt pads to stick to chair legs.
What are the best chair glides for hardwood floors?
If you are putting any time of furniture on hardwood floors, felt chair glides are the best. The best solution for not loosing a felt chair glide is by using a felt furniture glide with a nail.
A friend loved it so much, I made my mother in law pick them up after he sticky pads kept coming off, destroying her newly resurfaced wood floors. I felt awful seeing a black mark on her floors after two weeks of being re-done.
Nail on Felt Furniture Glides
These felt furniture pads for chairs include a nail so you put the pad right in the leg of the chair. My friends chair came with a cheap pad on the bottom and she took the chair pad off and replaced it with this felt pad for easy gliding across the floor.
With over 4,000 reviews and almost five stars, other people feel pretty strongly about furniture felt pads with nails. See some of the reviews.
One comment suggested if you have a preexisting hole, use a toothpick in the whole then add the felt chair pad.
Another said they were easy to install and look good on her chairs.
A rare, negative review said “they were not heavy duty” and the description was misleading.

I have a similar problem. My chair legs are wrought iron. Do you have a solution for my problem?
Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living says
I wish. In that case I would use the stick on felt pads.
Liz says
These look great! However, they will eventually need to be replaced. Are they difficult to remove for replacement?
Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living says
They do not appear to be hard to replace but I have not needed to do this yet.

It is possible to LOSE chair glides!

Of course, but the nail helps it say in place.
