I have new leather furniture coming in a few weeks now. I have wood floors and need to protect them. What do you recommend? If you have a link to something I would really appreciate it.

They will have nylon glides on the bottom of the legs, just make sure there is one on each leg when they bring them in (sometimes one can get shattered in the delivery truck, we keep spares in our local delivery truck). That should be all you need. However, if you want to be super-careful, all hardware stores have felt pads you can place underneath the pieces.

That's good to know. I was not sure if I would need to get the felt pads. They don't stay on very well though so I was hoping there would be something better.
For those pieces of furniture on hardwood floors that you don't want to move on you every time you sit in them (i.e. chairs, couches, beds), what I have found that works the best is the Slipstick "furniture feet". They have a rubber and nylon glide bottom so the furniture doesn't move easily when you sit in it, but then when you need to move it, you pick the piece up slightly and it slides easily on the nylon glide.
For those pieces that you move all the time and you do want to move easily (i.e. dining chairs) I use the "glides" and they have never scratched the floors.
For all other pieces of furniture felt works the best, and Slipstick also sells felt that does not come off (like the cheap stuff in your hardware store).
