<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 81268, member: 121"]When some movers lost the castors from my dining room table the arm chairs would no longer fit underneath - and I NEEDED to use the table immediately - so I found 8 (yep, eight) of those things you screw into a lamp socket to convert it for a plug.............the little nub on the insert-able end fits nicely into the holes where the castors SHOULD be and the other end is wide and flat enough to be stable, and they are dark brown so they blend with the wood nicely. </p><p><br /></p><p>Note I said "FITS" - yeah, 10 years later, I am still using them..............and you may ask WHY I had 8 of those things - I actually had about 2 dozen - we lived in an historic house that was electrified in the 1910s - with ceiling fixtures and wall scones and ONE outlet in each room, except the dining room which had NO outlets.....................so to hoover you had unscrew a bulb, screw in a socket and hope you didn't strangle yourself on the cord dangling from the chandelier.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
