Worried about your toy crane machine damaging your beautiful wooden table? Don't fret! Here are simple and effective solutions to prevent scratches and keep your furniture looking new.

First, create a soft barrier. The easiest method is to place a protective mat or pad under the machine. Felt pads, a soft cloth placemat, a thin foam sheet, or even a large mousepad work perfectly. This layer absorbs vibrations and prevents direct contact.

For added stability and protection, apply small self-adhesive felt pads directly to the bottom of the crane machine's legs or base. This lifts it slightly and creates a smooth, scratch-free surface. Ensure the machine's base is clean and dry before applying them.

If the crane is used frequently, consider a more permanent setup. A large, clear acrylic sheet cut to size provides a hard, smooth surface that is highly protective and barely noticeable. Alternatively, a silicone baking mat offers excellent grip and protection.

Regular maintenance is key. Always check the bottom of the toy for any dirt, debris, or rough edges that could cause marks. Wipe both the table surface and the machine's base regularly. Never drag the crane across the table; always lift it to move it.

By using a simple pad, applying felt feet, or choosing a dedicated protective sheet, you can enjoy the fun of your toy crane machine without any worry. Your wooden table will thank you!
