Hi. Yes you should absolutely put felt pads on the legs of stationary furniture such as tables and wall units but it's an absolute MUST on furniture that you move constantly such as chairs. You can try to remove the current protector that's on the chair now, pictured above, and put on felt pads. They are rather in-expensive and come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. I'd also recommend using a hot glue gun to apply the felt pads to the furniture's feet, ensuring they stick and stay in place.

We put in wood floors two years ago, and put all sorts of things under the legs of chairs and tables, so I have some experience with this.

We first went with the felt pads. Those were great because the furniture slides with ease with felt pads under them. The problem arose when the adhesive holding the pads to the bottom of the chairs started getting on the floor. It is a bear to scrub off the floor. We also have cats, and those felt pads were cat hair magnets, giving our kitchen chairs fuzzy feet.
So we ditched those (although they are still on the heavy, not often moved furniture like the couch, loveseat and dining table). Next we bought plastic rounds kind of like what you pictured. They didn't last long because I felt they were too hard and would scratch the floor. Now we have rubber round things much like the ones you picture, and they are lovely. The furniture doesn't slide as easily, but the rubber is soft, nothing gets on the floor, and cat hair isn't as much of a problem. My suggestion to you is to remove those wooden things and replace them with rubber things.
I may be a bit of a hypocrite, as I have one chair that has metal rounds like that on its feet. I don't have the heart to mess with that chair (it was rather expensive), so I have tacky plastic coaster type things under the feet of that chair. That is the worst of all choices, because the chair needs to be in contact with the ground to move it at all times to keep those dumb coasters in place. Good thing that chair is good looking enough to make up for its tacky coaster feet (and not often used).
