How to Make the Sofa Stay on a Wooden Surface

How to Make the Sofa Stay on a Wooden Surface thumbnail
Most sofas easily slide on hardwood floors.

A sliding sofa creates a hazard in a living room. If the sofa moves too easily, a small child can become trapped or injured by the sudden movement. This movement usually is caused by placing a sofa with felt-tipped feet over a hardwood floor. Having felt under the feet prevents the movement of the sofa from scratching the floor, but it shouldn't be used on a sofa that you don't want to move. Fixing this problem is fast. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Tip the sofa so that it will rest on its back. Check the sofa legs to be sure they are screwed into the sofa.

    • 2

      Measure the bottom of the legs.

    • 3

      Position a natural rubber gripper foot over the underside of the leg. Apply a bead of glue between the rubber and leg. Use only a gripper foot that is natural rubber; other rubber mixtures will stain your hardwood floor.

    • 4

      Turn the sofa upright after the pads are well attached. Lift the sofa to place it into the position you desire. Don't push the sofa.
