Reddit mentions: The best furniture cups

Well, someone should get a prize for punking Comrade Napoleon with this level of brilliant low-cost effort.

Three local news outlets, five different posts here, and all anyone can point to is this: https://imgur.com/ddQQaLm

This is the only image on the local news; the only image anyone posts. And yet no one seems to notice that on the far right end of that "pole" is a stand 1" rubber end-cap. Get yours today on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/FISHBERG-Chair-Rubber-Protectors-Scratches/dp/B0713WY7J8/

Which means this "noose" is a 7" piece of twine with a loop at the end barely large enough for your thumb, attached to the bottom end of a white metal chair.

You've been punked. But, look on the bright side - you probably didn't call out the national guard to lock down the campus like Dear Leader.

I've got fanatec pedals and a roller chair on hardwoods.

work perfectly, just put two under the back two wheels, works like a charm.

I haven't! I did peek around on Amazon and it looks like there's some cheaper options there than in-store. Michael's looks like it's about $5 per sheet?

There's this [50-pack 4x4 square cork paper](50 Pack Self-Adhesive Cork Sheets Squares 4"x4" Cork Backing Cork for Tile Coasters and DIY Crafts Mini Wall Cork https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PK19KZK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_By0LDbQBYNW8T) for $11 and this [36-pack 4x4 round cork paper](36 Pcs Self-Adhesive Cork Round for DIY Coasters, 4"x 4" Cork Circle, Cork Tiles, Cork Mat, Cork Sheets with Strong Adhesive-Backed by Blisstime https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N372LGY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FA0LDbT7VXMGD) for $9.

I have one and it's nice that you can't see it. But really, who thought to put wheels on a bed?? Depending on your floor, yes you can lean against the wall. Also, Amazon sells these. They help. But, if you're having some fun and active sex, well, the wheels will still pop out. This happened to me last weekend and the bed ended up on the other side of the room.

I know a lot of people say noisy/squeaky, but so far, mine is pretty darn quiet. My boyfriend's however is obnoxious.

I have this exact chair and love it. I'm on hardwood floors so I ordered these caster wheel stoppers. They work perfect and can be swapped in and out in a few seconds.

I used this as well. Threw on a couple rubber chair tips (Like these) to angle the board and stained the shelf with a bit of leftover stain. Easiest thing in the world to do, and it looks great!

Don't know about the swiveling situation but I use these under my expensive ergonomic office chair and they work great: https://www.amazon.com/Slipstick-CB845-Furniture-Gripper-Chocolate/dp/B000QY7VWA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1537815771&sr=8-4&keywords=caster+lock

I've been using my folding chair instead of my nice office chair and this comment thread motivated me to find what I think is the solution:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QY7VWA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

​

Could probably be found cheaper but the reviews convince me it's the correct product at least.

Also I need 5 and it comes in 4 packs FML

For anti-"migration" these worked wonders. Be sure to check out the top comment for a chuckle.

Not sure if it would help, but you should definitely isolate your turntable spikes and your cabinet casters anyway. Why not do this and just keep the cabinet closed? Also, maybe move the shelf up a notch, put your amp, eq, and cd player on the bottom shelf, and move your turntable to the top shelf.

Here's a link for some cheap caster cups

I use these to keep my chair from rolling: https://www.amazon.com/Slipstick-CB840-Furniture-Gripper-Caramel/dp/B000X8X58S/ref=sr_1_1

And to keep my pedals more secure, I attached a square dowel (.75" x .75") to the front of my pedals and then i used a couple small pieces of wood to build a L on each side of the desk for that dowel to fit into to keep the pedals from moving backwards or lifting up.

I think something like this should be fine?

Depending on how often you shoot, I soak a clean, new patch in Ballistol and coat the barrel, let it sit for as long as you can the longer the better.

Then I use a bore Squeeg-E from Remington and that help get a lot of copper and lead out of a bore!!

This $10 purchase improved my set-up greatly. Chair doesn't budge an inch!

Nice work! After finally making the jump to salt, I've become a firm believer in fighting butts. I gave a little thought to something like what you've done here, but I finally decided that I'm too lazy and ended up buying a bunch of rubber chair / table leg stoppers like THIS. They do fine once you find the right size - if nothing else they keep your end caps from getting scratched up.

Yes....I put one on my 2wt. So there.

Add these for the back wheels :)

I bought both the 1-1/4 and the 1-1/2 to experiment with. If you go with the slightly smaller size, you have the option to 'upgrade' the peg with these end caps.

Esthetically looks a bit better imo + prevents the creepy crawlers from settling in and calling your new weight rack home.

Get some of those rubbery-pad things for the feet, they look like they're going to bore into your carpet/rug.

Like these... https://www.amazon.com/Adams-Manufacturing-4300-99-3340-Caster-Protectors/dp/B00DWX5AUW

You need some cups, my piano came with a set. Similar to these - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077RX7PGS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B7tEAb8P3YPZY :)

i would get some furniture moving coasters/pads to put under the fold out legs. Id be afraid of wearing holes/scratching up the floor!

Something like this

You could also get something like this, there are also little stopper things that go under the wheels if you don't want to replace them

I picked these up and they work very well. Only need to use 2 and my chair goes nowhere at all.

They make things like... this to put under the wheels of furniture to keep them from rolling. Look into something like that, because as is, I would spaz somehow during a game and roll right off the edge.

I would call it a round foot insert. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Round-Insert-Chair-Glide-Protectors/dp/B074HWW73N

These work very well too, I use them for both flight sim and sim racing.

These work surprisingly well to stop skidding:

Hey, there is this new thing on the market, that people are doing speaker isolation making them "move" freely when they are playing. Effectively cancelling the high pitch frequency vibration within the electronical components. You know, cancelling the vibration by movement.

Three concave cups in threes under a speaker, in the cups are 1/2 inch steel balls. Or marbles.

Try these for a change. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YB9RV8/ref=twister_B00S82IH3Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I'm not going back to the old now. In that thread is Barry Diament which speakes for the 2 techniques, inner tube and roller blocks. You can email him too.

Just look up "chair socks" on Amazon.

These are the ones I bought

How important is using the wheels for you?

I personally dislike it and use these.

There are non-replacement versions as well.

tried these? http://www.amazon.com/Slipstick-CB840-Furniture-Gripper-Caramel/dp/B000X8X58S

That's what I used to use with my office chair, before I got a proper rig.

Airflow is a game changer, even if you don't use a fan. See if you can get space between modem/FW/SW.

Three years ago, I bought these to stop my office chair from rolling while braking. I'm still using them without issue.

I use these with my racing setup: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X8X58S/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687642&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000XXQULC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0AJ2V3NY0V1PK3AR577S

Don't use them with my rudder pedals though, CH Pro Pedals require light enough pressure that my chair doesn't move.

Another DiY option - using a power drill. Made it myself using these leg tips, purchased from Amazon. I found rolling the paint less of a mess than shaking them as shown here.
