Furniture glides/slides. They are plastic(Teflon?) plates with a foam pad that you put under the legs and it makes it easier and less damaging to slide furniture around.
Retractable castors are better, but can be in the way and aren’t the best aesthetic.

My experience with the furniture slides is while they’re great on carpet, on hard surfaces they will hold onto anything hard (like a grain of sand/a seed) and then drag that along the floor, marring it.
Thick felt is the answer, and it’s a wear item. But it should easily last a year.

I have tried the gliders in the past, they did not even work for a single move.

For hardwood, you want the felt sliders, not the plastic ones. They come in all kinds of sizes and thicknesses. I have them on everything and they work great. Just keep in mind the heavier the furniture the thicker and more coverage you’ll want underneath.

Thanks, I have only ever seen the plastic sliders in stores. I found some felt ones online and ordered those.
