I never thought about the toe killer potential of floor-flush furniture.
But won't a 2x4 place it at an awkward height where it's tall enough to accumulate heaps of dust, but not tall enough to easily clean underneath? I have a sofa like that, and hate cleaning under it
On it's side a 2x4 is 3.5", and my robovac is 3.25 inches tall.
A 2x4 just involves the least cutting to make the part. One flush with the inside edge, one 4 inches back from the outside edge.
Otherwise a 5" tall band of 3/4" plywood can be strong enough foot, and allow almost all Roomba's to fit under it. Use three ribs to support it from inside to outside edge, save cuts by making the inside portion from the backing sheet of the boxes.
