Video tutorial: Easy DIY repair for your barstools
I am very happy with my rubber floor protecting rings – gosh, it’s no cheap trash from China: Superior quality, easy DIY mount, perfectly protecting my floors. The barstool floor protectors and glide pads that come with most bar stools are low quality and get broken after just a few months.
So, this is a excellent solution for me. These are perfect for my barstools. The original plastic ring on them was scratching the floors. You’ll also like them , if you want to get rid of the horrible and cheap plastic.
I popped the old ones off and replaced with this glide pad. It took me a little minute to realize that the open part goes on the inside lip of the bottom. They are just perfect! No scratched floors and easy to install. Just needed a pair of strong sewing scissors to cut them. A knife will also do the trick. But be careful when cutting.

I had to look all over trying to find something that would fit our stools for our kitchen island. Mostly stores just sell felt pads, etc. for traditional stools. But our’s have big round bottoms with hardly any “stick” area.
What came on the stools became like sandpaper and scratched our hardwood floor terribly. These are rubbery and sturdy and fit just right. No longer are our floors getting scratched.
Just enough to go around the perimeter of the 2 bases with only inches left over. Very economical, as well as they come in recycled packaging. What a great product!
