I've made 2 of these stands out of plywood for the rear speakers pictured in the background, each stand is filled with sand and weighs about 25kgs.
Since they are going on laminate flooring I was thinking of putting something underneath the stand just for extra protection, I was thinking of lining the bottom with one of the following rubber mat, carpet square, lining with weather stripping, or screwing in some rubber feet.
Probably over thinking the process but since this is my fist time building both speakers and stands I thought I better ask for some guidence on if there's a preference for material or if it really doesn't matter.
To save a double post, ontop of the stand I was thinking of attaching a thin rubber sheet, and then placing the speaker ontop of that, or is that overkill and its fine to just sit the speakers wood on wood.

I use small felt feet on the bottom of my stands (from home depot) and nothing on top of the stand. But speakers typically have those felt circles on the bottom.
Your stands are much nicer than mine.

I think I was overthing it since a friend mentioned how material effects sound, but I wasn't sure if it would make any real difference. Never hurts to ask, I ended up getting felt feet.

It depends on what's happening where you apply it. A material may help in some locations and create problems at others, and at yet others have no effect..
I use cork sheet between the speaker and the stand.
To see how resonant the stand is, tap around on it in various places.
Some metal stands are quite bad.

Definitely overthinking it.
Depending how big / heavy the speaker is, just make sure it cannot be pushed off the stand.
Rubber feet or blue-tack will grip and prevent this.
