# How to Keep Rollers on a Big-Screen TV From Scratching Hardwood Floors
Hardwood floors are susceptible to furniture scratches and dents. These can be caused when you move the furniture or just from the weight of the furniture gouging the floor. Some models of big-screen televisions come with casters to make them easier to move, but these can also scratch a floor. Replacing or covering the casters will protect your floor both from scratches and from dents due to the television's weight.
