What can I stick under the front edge of the huge bookcase to level it up which isn't ugly?

In the past we have used a bit of carpet offcut or a piece of carpet underlay. Both do the job beautifully but look bad. A folded piece of pretty cloth (or cloth wrapped around carpet underlay) would work, but before long it will be dirty.

Trouble is, it is quite a huge job to empty the bookcase completely and lift up the edge in order to replace/wash whatever I have put under the front edge. So that doesn't really happen! I've just done it for the first time in years.

I think I need something functional-looking which is softish and doesn't fray or look bad when it gets some dust on it. The flooring is laminate, and having something non-scrapy is essential so I can slide the bookcase out and clean behind it or retrieve lost objects occasionally.

Cheers!

Could you use stick on felt pads and put them on back from the front edge - they are often brown to match furniture?If it has feet, what about castor cups?

we have had to do this in the past for a large pine dresser - my husband used a slim plank of wood to insert under the front of it. Really couldn't notice it at all and did the job well.

Thanks for the ideas!

The felt pads might be unobtrusive, so that's worth looking into. I can't put them very far back as the bookcase has an edge all the way around the bottom, rather than a solid base.

Or yes, thin piece of wood could look nice. I could attach felt to the underside so it won't scratch when sliding across the floor.

Cheers!
