Peter,
One issue I have with chairmats is they don't protect would floors at all. Yes, you won't see scratches where the chair is rollowing around. Instead, I've seen scratches and other damage around the edges of the chairmat itself. Get schmutz beneath the mat and that will create scratches, too.
At this point, I am looking into non-marking soft wheel casters. They are safer for hard wood floors. Hard wheel casters are better for carpeted floors. since I have hard wood floors, non-marking soft wheel casters are the way for me. I just need to decide exactly what kind to get and where to get them.
Miracle Casters won't cut it. The site says they're intended for use on carpets and can damage floors. It also says nothing at all about what they'll do to wood floors. This means they are likely hard wheel casters.
