Shepherd SlideGlide 2-1/8" Square Adhesive Furniture Sliders for Carpet, Heavy-Duty Protective Furniture Moving Pads with Self-Adhesive or Screw-On Application, Set of 4, Beige

Worked perfectly

Small item; searched local stores without finding what I wanted. Quickly found this on Amazon. Perfect size. Perfect shape. Easy install. Happy!

Works as designed

Used on a heavy piece of furniture - leather ottoman - to make it easier to slide on carpet. These sliders are easy to install, secure with a screw instead of just a sticky pad, and work amazingly well, giving just enough glide to make it easy to move something like an ottoman, but not so much so that the furniture slides when you don’t want it to - plus you get to pick the right size for your piece of furniture: perfect engineering!

I installed these on four legs of a lamp table. Each leg had a 3/8 in hole already drilled in it- why I don't know. I was still able to drill using an 1/8-in drill bit into the leg and mount the slider. Push out the hole in the slider compression material with a nail or the screw. Remove the backing, and affix the slider to the bottom of the leg. Then drill a hole into the leg through the hole in the slider. Slowly pulse drill the screw into the hole. The backing will compress as the screw tightens the slider against the leg. Check the amount of visible compressed material- black- to make sure that each slider is the same height above the table leg. Less compressed will result in a slightly longer leg than a more compressed material. Alternately, remove the compressable material before installing. In that event, you can mark the hole or try drilling through the hole in the slider. The screws are easy to screw in, so you don't need to drill very deep. These sliders are high quality. I was very pleased with the result. Highly recommend.

I am using these for my 8 wood dining chairs that sit on our tiled floor. I had applied these to 4 chairs when I wrote my original review <<see below>>. Then I decided to use a larger drill bit than I normally would as it seems these screws just can’t bite into the wood on their own (another reviewer said these are sheet metal screws, so maybe that’s the problem). Since these screws have a Phillips head that allows for a fat flat head screwdriver, I drove the final 16 screws in that way. After applying these to all my dining chairs, they no longer make a screeching sound when pushing the chairs in after we get up from the table. They glide more smoothly (on our tile floors) whether the chairs are occupied or empty. I tested them on my wood floor. They don’t glide as easily & I’d be afraid that over time, as the glider wears down, it might scratch the wood. Tested on my wool Persian rug & the chair won’t slide while sitting on it. Tested on my low pile cut loop carpet & they don’t move. I’m only 125#, so that’s not the reason they don’t glide on carpet. To make them look good on my stained chairs, I did the following: • removed the white pad from the glider • used a black marker on the visible part (4 sides) of the grey gliders • centered the glider on the bottom of my chair leg & marked the hole with my drill bit • set the glider aside & drilled my hole into my chair leg the full length of the screw • lined up the glider & applied the screw using a hefty flat head screw driver - don’t ever tighten or washer will push through the black base • then I set the chairs upright & could barely see the new (black) gliders on the bottoms of my chair legs Original review, titled: “Not worth the money or the aggravation” <<Like another reviewer wrote (which I didn’t read until after working in these), the screws are terrible. A few spins of my electric drill to get them into a predrilled hole, & the heads strip out. The pad that has adhesive on it squishes unevenly when using it, so I removed them. The white adhesive pad against the black base looks tacky anyway. The black part of the disc is too soft which allows the metal washer that is embedded in it to push through while applying the screw.>>

Rating these 5 stars even though the screws included do not work on my Ghost Chairs . The chairs have a grippy silicone insert on the bottom of the legs, exactly the same size as the Shepherd sliders, but screws have to be a little longer to reach penetration. I used the stick-on option temporarily until I can find screws the exact size I need. Too short and they don't penetrate the silicone, too long and they hit the hard plastic of the chair, thereby weakening it. I'll find them and make the permanent attachment, but the adhesive sliders are staying in place perfectly meanwhile. The silicone grippers are exactly opposite of what is needed on the vinyl flooring, causing difficulty sliding the chairs under the table. The Shepherd sliders are the perfect answer to the issue. UPDATE 9/14/17: Proper sized screws now installed for the plastic chairs with guide hole drilled and tightened down snugly... I am very pleased with the result because I feel it adds a lot of security to those fairly expensive chairs. The screw length is in no way Shepherd Hardware's fault, they include screws that would fit almost any other chair, but the ghost chairs have about a one inch space before the screw hits home. UPDATE 3/26/18: 6 months later, not one single problem with these staying screwed in place and sliding nicely on the vinyl flooring.

I've tried several furniture gliders, but these Adhesive Slide Glide Furniture Sliders are by far the best I've come across! What I really love about them is the combination of self-adhesive backing and a pre-drilled screw hole. This ensures they stay in place even when you're moving heavy furniture. The screws included make it super easy to secure them permanently, so you won't have to worry about them slipping out or losing their grip. These gliders work great on carpet and are incredibly durable. I highly recommend these to anyone who needs reliable furniture gliders. I’m so impressed that I’m planning to buy more!

Great little sliders, offer good protection to your floor and furniture. Makes it very easy to re position heavy tables. Are very robust and should give you years of service. Well designed, keep the screws well away from the floor, in our case stone which would not do well if ther was contact with metal screws. I used both the adhesive backing and the screws which were good quality and easy to install as they were quite sharp.

Perfect little sliders. Well made, easy to install.

Sturdy and effective. Makes our heavy coffee table glide across carpet much more easily and no damage to the carpet.
