Do I need floor protection under a filing cabinet?

Yes — heavy filing cabinets, especially when fully loaded, can scratch or dent hardwood floors and some tile. Use felt pads under the base feet for hardwood. On carpet, cabinet feet may not need padding, but ensure casters (if equipped) are locked. If the cabinet is mobile, ensure caster treads are non-marring.
