need solutions for chair coasters
#11
One of my quilting buddies has some little knitted or crocheted "booties" for her chair legs. They work well, but of course they would also act like a magnet to doggie hair
Here is a link to a free pattern for crocheted ones. https://torontoknitcafe.wordpress.com/tag/chair-socks/
Haha... when you do a google search for them, some people have gotten very creative and made them look like little kittie feet.

When I bought my dining set, it was the floor model since it was exactly what I wanted, and the very last set they had. The feet of the table and chairs were just plain wood and I had cheap linoleum in the dining room still, so I had to find a way to protect the floors from the heavy oak chairs. I went to the local hardware store and bought nylon slides that had a nail that goes into the wood leg to hold them on. (Think giant thumb tack with a white nylon cap, they might even come in brown or black, I did not look). Next, I got out my Drexel tool, and drilled twenty four (4 x 6 chairs) holes in the chair legs. I then tapped the nylon slides into the holes I drilled. (No adhesive needed.) I sold the set twelve years later, and they were still in place. The fur kid hair did catch in the slides, it a quick brush with a broom solved that.

Mine collect cat hair too, but I wipe it off w/my fingers when cleaning the floor. There are only 2 of us, and we don't use the table/ chairs a lot. I wonder if those rubber cups like you put on canes and some porch chairs would work. You could paint them so they're not noticeable.

I have the same situation. N real solution ao far. We have the nylon ones with the nail in the center.but they scratch the floor, too. will just keep on cleaning and replacinf the pads. Now if someone could come up with a real solution, they could make a mint!

We used the nail on ones, you do have to drill little holes and hammer them on but they work great. They come with a plastic base or a carpeted base. Home Depot, Lowes and Wal-Mart carry them. They are a bit pricey, we have 8 chairs and it cost us about $40.00.
