You know those grippy rubber things they sell to keep area rugs from sliding all over hardwood floors? Use that with either the plastic mats (without the nubs) or with small area rugs. The grippy rubber keeps everything from shifting around and scratching the floors :thumbup:

I have laminate floors and they are practically bullet proof.
I do use small carpets under wheels or I lose control and end up across the room.
Walmart carries cheap carpets that are the same size as the plastic mats for chairs.

Basically it's a stool with a big spring.

I would put an area rug (at least 5x7) under my roller chair to protect my wood floor. There are sets of rubber cushions sold in home improvement stores for putting under furniture legs - they can be used under your shelf legs.

My house is also over 100 years old with unfinished (i.e., I stll have to wax and buff) hardwood floors and plaster walls. I have nothing under my chair, roll from machine to machine. Have no damage to my floor. I use those round pads for moving heavy furniture under my larger pieces like my cutting table. I also use command strips/hooks to hang things on the wall. I recently removed some that had been up for over a year with no damage to my walls.
