not really. sling some rugs around.

solves all the problems. Our dogs do ruckle them up a lot tho.

you can get a sort of sticky sheet that stops it.

I've been telling everyone the big one won't be around much longer.... started saying that about 5 years ago. Old boy just keeps going on and on and loving life.... when he's awake. :¬)

Hmm, point taken. Felt does work well, but reduces friction a little too much - I'm forever making little adjustments to the sofas, coffee table etc. because they've been bumped out of line :-) OTOH it's handy being able to just drag stuff around sometimes (e.g. completely moving a sofa to sweep under it)

Actually the other plus with felt is that it's porous (IYSWIM) - so can absorb little bits of dirt. When we first moved in we thought that the underside of the sofa legs were so smooth that they wouldn't cause a problem - but of course little bits of grit seem to work their way under there somehow, and it's *those* which can then scratch the floor. The felt does a nice job of preventing this (whilst attracting insane amounts of pet hair :-)

cheers
