I can`t tell of any major damage to your floor, but I am sure its scratched a bit.  Look into getting a finishing oil such as Linseed, Tung Oil and or a Paste Wax for the floor.  Rub on, buff off and repeat until no scratches appear or are lessened until no longer visible.


Any thick cover will do, but make sure its not abrasive on the back where it hits the floor.  A Circular Braided Rug is also a great option which is very thick and which also happens to be a unique piece of Americana.  

Thank you so much, if it works it'll be unbelievable- I thought I had damaged the floor permanently!

No way you damaged that floor permanently.  Worst case Scenario, you`d have to sand a bit, stain and finish which is simple to do, but I think in your case you can build up some wax and oil layers and it will be fine.  Those oils are hardening oils which mean they heat up and then dry hard, forming a nice surface.  Whatever you apply them with, DO NOT ball up your rag as it may spontaneously combust as these oils produce an Exothermic reaction when drying.  Wash your rags out and place them out to dry, completely spread out and then throw away.  Or throw away wet.

Thank you kindly, I'll definitely give it a go this weekend.

It's true, it's been scratched in places. It's astonishing how ignorant I've been about housing, I learn something new every day though.


Would you recommend some sort of cover, TA? Or a different type chair?

A rug and get rid of the parkway Floor

What is the best home/office chair for sitting at your desk?

The Herman Miller Aeron chair gets consistently good reviews, but I can never find it at a local store.  The last time I bought a chair sat in all of them at the store and bought the one I thought I fit in best.

The Aeron is best. You can find them on Craigslist, ebay etc. for less if used. And they hold up really well so you are safe getting them used.

You could try Design Within Reach - there are a few in Cali.

The Aeron Chair with polished finish is expensive though - over $1000. It will last a lifetime. Haworth also makes nice office chairs but they are not as durable as the Aeron I think.

These companies (Herman Miller, Steelcase, Haworth) are all based out of Michigan so you are supporting Made in USA.

That's hideous.

I'm a fan of older wood or aluminum office chairs. The main problem I find with newer office chairs is that the wheel pocket is usually too thin and cracks or loosens with time.

My current office chair is a re-upholstered Goodform similar to this -

Comfy and nothing short of a bomb strike is hurting it.

Got a good Eisenhower vibe to it. 'Duck and cover.'

looks sweet. But no lower back padding? fuck that shit.

Nothing wrong with that floor.

Its dated and ugly as fuck. If your going to lay down wood flooring in that vein, there are a million patterns that look better than that and won't look like it belongs in an Al Bundy town home.

Just remember you are taking advice from a guy that called a  jack hammer  the "cement smashing thingy".

Good luck anyway.

Avoid any rubber-backed rugs on any kind of floor because IT WILL permanently discolor the floor over time.
