Re: Moving Chair From Wood Floor To Carpet
If you remove the leveler, then be sure to tape or zip-tie it inside the chair frame itself so you know where they are if you re-install. Your carpet is going to crush, no way around that. However if you remove the piece the carpet will spring back in a few week, and you can hold a steam iron over the depressions to help them return quicker. That's not really damage to the rug though, just compression. Real damage to the carpet would be if the wood legs get wet or the chair legs sit on damp or wet carpet, it will leech out the stain from the legs and permanently stain the carpet. If you clean your carpet, be sure its dry before you put the chair back in place or if you spill a liquid around the leg area, put some aluminum foil under the wood legs until the carpet is try. The Inserts for the levelers are zinc-coated steel, I would probably put a piece of duct tape over the metal if taking the leveler off, as that metal can rust with moisture and humidity and leave a rust mark on your carpet (or simply leave the levelers on).
