Abstract
A device, such as a combination stool and storage/tool box adapted for use while placed on a floor. The device features a number of rubber stoppers to prevent inadvertent sliding of the device across the floor. To hold the stoppers in place, the device includes openings in the lower portion of its legs. Each of the openings accommodates one of the stoppers and is defined by a number of semi-rigid retaining members which extend inwardly toward the center of the opening. The opening and the retaining members are dimensioned so that when the stem of the stopper is forced through the opening the retaining members exert forces on the stopper tending to retain the stopper in place substantially rigidly connected to the device.
