As a retired school teacher I have used many a tennis ball. The custodians do not do well as keeping the floors well waxed or buffed. so ALL the chairs STICK to the floor. all 27 or so of them. Imagine the noise of 27 chairs scraping across a poorly fnished floor. It took a long time but i finally collected enought tennis balls to go on all the chairs. When i retired the newer teachers fought over them!

So, I did something else, something I learned from a church custodian who was tired of table legs scratching up his newly waxed floors. Tennis balls! See the pic. They look funny, but they're working fine!
