You probably don’t think about it too much. At least I didn’t until I found out what chair leg cap were and where to buy them. In the pictures below, you can see what happened to me because I didn’t know to look out. I borrowed some chairs on Christmas Eve and didn’t realize they weren’t wearing proper chair leg cap. In the image above, you can see what it did to my living room floor.
In the second picture you can see that one of my garden chairs is not doing so well…. Why? Because I didn’t realize in time that it needed new shoes.
Broken lawn chair because I forgot to change the “shoes” on it
That’s why I recommend keeping an eye on the “shoes” before they’ve worn down completely – they’re there to protect both the floor and the furniture. Not only that, it gives your furniture a longer lifespan, and that’s worth thinking about.
