Wood – How to stop the island from sliding across the floor

laminate-floorwooden-furniture

I've recently moved into a new apartment and bought an Ikea Stenstorp island for my kitchen, and it's been solid so far except for one key issue: it slides across my basic condo laminate flooring like it's on ice. It looks like there's some plastic nubs on the feet, but they don't do much to stop the island's movement.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this in a way that won't damage the floor?

Best Answer

There are a few options... You can remove the non-marring plastic feet provided by Ikea, and replace them with some rubber nail or screw on feet, or you can get rubber "caster cups" that the existing feet can set on. Rubber will provide protection between the floor and the table, but will stop if from sliding.

You should be able to find both and any home improvement store.
