Hey Jason,
In addition to my comments on your blog about the rubber wheels, I just wanted to chime in on the above comment. Ikea sells the mats without spikes; I currently use them on my hardwood floor (two of them) in front of my desk and it works quite well. I cut mine to be a custom fit in a couple places, and the ones from Ikea also have a slightly sticky bottom in that they don't slide around. I believe they are sold explicitly for use on hardwood/laminate flooring. Just a thought anyway... They were quite cheap there too as compared to office-supply stores. I think they were only $5 or $10 each??? It's been a couple years though, so I can't remember for sure.
