Talking at me like I don't own and use a shoulder-dolley and furniture dolleys, but no, I'm not a professional mover; My ideals are literally anti-thetical to the need for such. Speaking of things furniture wasn't designed for, have you seen the size of people these days?

Doesn't change the fact that the screw-adjust feet you drive-into wood with a hammer, as shown in OP, are the wrong solution for just-about all of the furniture they are found in.

There are sturdier versions out there, as I mentioned in my first comment, and rust-flakes will tear-up a floor.

Now, if you know enough to be so concerned for floors, are you aware you can get felt-pads large-enough to slide the furniture across, rather than sliding the pad across the floor? The furniture I really like is too heavy to lift in one piece anyways, more like a built-in once its situated.
