We just put laminate flooring in the sewing/office room. Love it, easy to clean, dust mop, and I have rubber wheels on my sewing chair no problems. Had a carpet before, wish I had done this a long time ago.

I have laminate floors and love them because the chair is easy to slide on and it is so easy to clean with all the threads and all.

I have carpet but only use the long pins with yellow plastic heads. No problems seeing them, and they stick up out of the carpet. I've used it for 7-8 years now and it doesn't show wear from wheeled chairs....and this was cheap carpet! Just basic inexpensive low pile from Home Depot. I am not a shoes wearer in the house so it's warm and soft on my tootsies too.

I have hardwood floors in most of the house. I use wooden stools and have felt pads under everything. I bought two or three office type chairs and never found one that was comfortable to me.

I agree with loving the laminate flooring. So easy to sweep up!!

You might also check into bamboo or cork. Both wear great, easy to care for & last a long long time. But, laminate is cheaper & is easy to care for. We had it in our last house & we loved it. Just don't get to light a color Or to dark. Happy floor hunting.

I have hardwood and I haven't had a problem. The wood was installed and then there were several coats of poly put down. I haven't had a problem
