Sometimes you just gotta do something different
I’ve been working on a pair of scotch cabinets off and on for quite some time now. Last weekend I made some custom copper feet for them from some copper bar that I had leftover from a previous project.
This weekend I wasn’t in the mood for sanding so I made a copper and wood necklace for the wife instead. Made just using angle grinder, linisher, square file and 600/1200 sandpaper.
Quite happy with how it turned out. It’s not perfect but hey.

I really like the necklace but not sure about the practicality of copper feet for a cabinet.
Even if the feet are lacquer or epoxy coated it's could eventually scrape off and the feet will then go green and mark the floor especially if it's on a floor that is going to be washed.
A layer of something inert like rubber or plastic might help?

If designers always did what was practical, the world would be a dull place indeed! They will have felt pads underneath to prevent them scratching whatever floor they are on, so I don't think that will be a problem.

If your wife has arthritic ears, then those ear-rings should do the trick.

A high polish followed by a spray of Selleys Incralac should protect the floor as long as you're not tempted to drag it around. A flash of copper sandwiched between two pieces of wood looks pretty good.
