Purchased on their own, these felt and rubber stickers would cost quite a bit more. As a kit, it is much more cost effective. They stick as expected to furniture, my forehead -- you could even spell out "L" on the forehead with them!

I stuck some of the clear rubber stickers onto my buttocks before I tested the remaining ones on cabinet doors to ensure they would close more quietly. Didn't help me fart more silently though.

Next, I tried to use some of the felt to try to hide some of my facial imperfections, but unfortunately, no amount of felt could get rid of my ugliness. Even the mirror runs away every time I go to the bathroom. Oh well.


At the time of this review there isn't a product page so I can't make any claims based on the listing or price. This review is based solely on my own personal experience with the felt pads.
I just put down luxury vinyl tile in the basement and was told I would need these felt pads on the bottom of my furniture to avoid damage to the floors. I purchased some at our local hardware store and then was offered these to try. These are slightly thinner and not as soft, and don't stick as well, but depending on price and needs could be a good choice.
This set is a bit confusing. It is a random collection of sizes, shapes and colors, so if you're not certain what you need it might be a good start to figure out what you prefer. We found the majority were too large to really work on the feet of my chairs, but they did work pretty well on the table and couch. Course, with how rarely you move a couch or table, I'm not really certain you need these for the floor. We didn't scratch the floor when we moved the furniture to apply them so . . . oh well.
If I hadn't had the store bought to compare too I would have thought felt was thick. It does appear to add protection if needed. Cutting it was a bit of a trick, you really needed strong scissors otherwise it sort of shreds.
This also included some clear plastic bubbles that are nice for on cabinet doors. Those were the best thing in the set.
Adhesive appears to be good as long as you apply it once and don't need to reposition.
Made in China.
I think I'd stick to using these on furniture that doesn't move very often. They have been fine for the dining room table that gets moved minimally, but we bought these for the dining room chairs hoping they would quiet some of the movement on the hardwood floor. I cleaned up the feet really well and dried them before attaching these felt pads. I thought almost right away there might be a problem - we have one floorboard that comes up a little - maybe 1/32" - but I suspected that the pads might catch that and get peeled off. Then I got to the chair on the other side of the table and _knew_ I was going to have a problem - we have an air-vent in the floor behind one of the kitchen chairs. Dutifully, I put the felt pad on the bottom of the chair just to see if things went better than I expected, but within 2 days, I found the cats playing with the little round discs after the vent expeditiously removed the pads.

So, we still have many of these, and they'll be used for the feet of end tables, lounge chairs, desks and maybe even a chest of drawers, but sadly they will not fill the duty of quieting our kitchen chairs.

For what it's worth, the kitchen chair with the wonky floor board behind it is still going strong after at least 10 days, so I'm impressed with that, but it's only a matter of time before the chairs are rearranged and the chairs on the side with the raised board end up in front of the floor vent.
Initially, I was pleased with this assortment of furniture pads. The variety of sizes, colors, and thickness is very useful. I've had these sorts of pads in the past and it's not usual for there to be both light and dark colors so I was happy about that (as well as the smaller, transparent ones). They are handy for stopping scratches on furniture, but the issue I had was that they didn't tend to stick very well with the adhesive that is on them. For example, I used the small, transparent, gel-like bumpers on the bottom of a monitor riser that had come originally with identical bumpers, but they had fallen off after moving the riser a few times. I replaced them with the ones in this package and they fell off, too. The only way I could get them to stick was to use super glue on them.

So, I think that this is a good assortment and provides good protection, but I don't have confidence in the adhesive that is on the back. It seems little better than strong tape, especially if it is used on something with some amount of weight (my monitor riser is made of particle board and someone heavy). They work better and remain in place effectively for much lighter things, but I'd recommend using your own glue rather than relying on the pads if you're dealing with something that moves around a lot or has a bit of weight.
 I wanted to address a situation where my sofa legs were scratching new bamboo flooring in my camper. I'm not sure why this became an issue, as you would think wooden legs wouldn't scratch flooring to this extent, but the scratches had become something of a problem on the shiny new flooring.

These pads presented a perfect solution. I used four medium sized pads about 2 inches across each. Now the sofa doesn't hang up and scratch when I move it for cleaning. Easy to apply, just remove the paper backing, put the adhesive side up and slide it under the leg, and lower the leg onto the adhesive.

The next pads I will use will be the largest ones, which are 4x6 inches in size. Will try these on some larger 4x4s that I attached to the base of my second sofa, a jack knife model. Should do the job to prevent scratches under that similarly heavy piece of furniture.

The smaller pads could be used for chair legs and the like. You get 136 pads in this plain brown envelope, which is a good supply. I'm not sure why they are advertised as "brown and transparent," these look black to me. The 30 or so 0.4" bumpers are indeed transparent, and I will think of uses for them perhaps on cabinets and picture frames.
The product was excellent but amazon sent a small jiffy bag inside a large cardboard box! A huge amount of wasted cardboard for no reason!



A huge stockpile of a variety of padding, protection and noise reduction bumpers. in a variety of sizes to suit most household needs.

You also get two large 5x5 inch squares to cut to size for larger or more unweilding items.

There's a couple of small sheets of soft rubber pads (36 dots in total), with the excellent 3M backing which sticks fast. We've had some 3M rubber pads on our walls for close to ten years. The only difference now is that they're yellower in colour with the ageing.

The felt is not the usual kind - it's a firm, compressed kind so it's unlikely to struggle with a heavy load, such as where we currently have them: on the base of the sofa feet which are sitting on oak flooring.

There's an array of sizes in the circular feld pads, ranging from an inch and a half; an inch and a quarter; an inch; and 3 quarters of an inch.

There's square shaped pads too which are all equally just over an inch in size. The long strips of felt are half and inch wide and 6 inches in length.
There's an equal split in the two shades supplied of chocolate brown and a slightly darker ivory.

I would have preferred to see more silicone rubber pads in this set, as we tend to use these a fair amount too. They're discreet and small and offer an excellent dampener on the walls and door handles avoiding damage from a rapidly swinging door. A little yellowing with time is not a major issue.

The downside of felt in our experience of almost 15 years, I think, is that if you plan to use them for protecting hard surfaces, such as wooden floors, marble etc. You will find that your weighty furniture gets slippery with even the slightest movement.
Ideally it would haven been a good idea to have an anti slip layer - such as silicone - attached to the felt to get the best of both. The padding from the felt and the anti-slip from a silicone-like substance.

Still, a very worthy set.
4 stars.
