I have a buffet/hutch style cabinet in the works that will end up fairly heavy. The feet are simply the ends of the corner posts which I would like to keep close to the ground visually. The floor is a natural tile with the irregularities that go with that sort of material. The corner posts are about 2" square and I am thinking I will use a heavy commercial felt stick-on material small enough to be invisible from a normal observation position of standing or sitting in the room but, large as possible for load bearing. I would then shim if/where required, potentially with additional felt, the odd foot if such occurs. The elevation required for an adjustable foot will foul my floor to furniture line.
Having said all that, what have you folks had success with for a heavy piece on a solid surface flooring when it comes to foot/pad material? TIA.
Example at 1/8" which I prefer:
Example at 1/4" which I think is too much:
P.s. There will be a small chamfer around the bottom edge of the corner posts at the floor line.
