As the others said, replacement felt is available. I prefer using rubber cement over contact cement as I find it easier to remove after it dries, plus easier to position initially (rubber cement will allow a 'redo', AFAIK contact cement will not).



Before replacing the felt bottom may as well check to be sure the cord and plug are in good condition -- easier to replace with the bottom off!

____Reply Separator_____ You're suggesting to someone who doesn't know if you can re-cover the bottom of a lamp do electrical work on the same?
