Years ago I built this table, while it is not the best work, it is the best table I have ever built.

It is very solid, the legs are 4x4s and the top 5 2x6s. The floor of my shop is wood, and normally it is only me moving the table. I stapled pieces of felt to the bottom of the feet, and they worked for a while but now are worn out.

I am looking for an idea of something to put on the feet to make it both easier to move across the floor, and keep the table from marring the floor.

I am thinking pieces of leather may work well. I have tried the plastic things that are supposed to make furniture glide, and they did not work at all.

Something like the rockler removable casters might be an option if you're moving it with some frequency. Definitely depends on your aesthetics though.

If I had to move the table further than I do (it moves from one end of the room to the other and rotates 90°) this would be perfect. I may get these so that I can move it farther in the future.
