    Technically yes, but I would worry about stubbed toes! Also, if you put them on hard floors, they will scratch.

    Essie, absolutely. In order to keep them from scratching the floor, I would have plywood squares to lay them on. Then I would place them with about 3” inset. To make them disappear and to give a nice finish look, I would make a simple wood box cover either side stained or painted to match. You could even cover with fabric. Would love a picture of what you come up with!

    Yes, but wrap them up in felt or fleece so you don't hurt your feet or your floors!
