What type of floor glides should stacking chairs have for use on carpet?

On carpeted floors, stacking chairs should use rubber or nylon glides (small plastic or rubber pads on the bottom of each leg) that slide smoothly over carpet without digging in or catching. Hard metal tips will snag and damage carpet loops over time. For chairs used on hard floors, felt glides prevent scratching but wear quickly — replace them annually with heavy use. Some stacking chairs offer a choice of glide type at purchase; others include universal glides that work on both surfaces. On high-pile carpet, avoid chairs with large base plates that create a scooping effect when the chair is moved.
