I didn’t buy this set, but I did just buy a bunch of little rubber feet from Lowe’s. They’re definitely useful little things to keep around the house.

You’ve been duped; these are not LRF support modules but LSF (little silicone feet) support modules.
However, LSF modules are generally longer-lasting than LRF modules while providing a similar coefficient of friction on most surfaces, unlike LPF (little plastic feet) which are better for assemblies requiring easier slip-slidin’ action.

We put LFFs — little felt feet — on our dining room table and chairs for ease of sliding on hardwood floors.

I got some of that for some drawers, but there were 3M which in my experience has superior adhesives.

I had a cheese board that was warped and would rock on a flat surface. I put four little rubber feet like these at the corners, hoping they would have enough give to solve the problem.
The board still wobbled, so I determined which corner was the problem and put two stainless #10 flat washers under that foot. The board is now wobble-free.
Sure does. And don’t call me Dora.
