Hello everyone, I recently purchased the IKEA BESTÅ system and am looking for an effective solution to prevent scratches on my parquet floor from the furniture’s legs or feet. Although the legs are quite sturdy, I am concerned that long-term pressure and movement could damage the surface.
My main question is: what practical and sustainable methods do you know of or recommend to protect the legs or feet of the BESTÅ system from scratches? Which materials, pads, or techniques are particularly suitable, especially considering that the furniture is sometimes moved?
I look forward to tips, experiences, and possibly recommendations for specific products that have proven effective in practice.

I’m curious: What type of parquet flooring do you have, and are your furniture pieces mostly stationary or frequently moved? Also, how large are the feet or their contact area? This can help determine the best method to use.Thank you very much for the detailed advice! I will try using high-quality, medium-thickness felt pads and check their condition during the next cleaning. I also find the idea of adding a thin plastic mat useful, especially for occasional moving. I will test this and share my experience; if I have any questions, I’ll be happy to reach out again.
