Founder Margaret Johnson - Entrepreneur & Former Teacher
Furniture Footies were developed by elementary school teacher Margaret Johnson to deal with the frequent screeching sounds of desks and chairs sliding around the classroom, as well as custodial staff's concerns over floor scratching. Unhappy with the products on the market, Margaret decided to create her own products. She started this woman-owned-and-operated business in 2009 to offer her fantastic furniture feet protectors and pads to other teachers, as well as homeowners and people who run businesses.
In 2018, we realized it was a good idea to make Furniture Footies that fit walkers with wheels without having to remove the existing caps. Our 2" and 2.4" sizes were selling well for those walkers, so we created a way to make the smallest ones work as well which are our newest golf ball-sized for walker glides.
