As a forever-alone introvert who enjoys rearranging my furniture every couple of months these sliders were a game-changer. I've used mine for over a year and though the foam has been compressed a little bit from heavy use, they still work brilliantly! I'm having new floors installed this week and the installation crew will only move furniture that has been completely emptied in advance to make it lighter. What an annoyance, but not for me! I just gently lifted one corner at a time to stick my sliders underneath and pushed the whole bookshelf, books and all, into the next room in under 3 minutes from start to finish! And I didn't even have to invite anyone over to help me..
I’m a slightly flabby woman 29 year old woman of 5’3” and 130 pounds and I was able to move a 350 pound vintage mable top double dresser by myself with these.
After moving to a new city a few months ago, and being completely alone, the bane of my existence has been a beautiful six drawer marble top dresser. It’s a lovely piece, solid wood with brass hardware and it’s heavy as hell.
When I moved into my apartment, my bedroom was completely finished, and it took three construction workers to kindly move this hulking dresser into my front room. “I’ll just move it in a week.” I was so stupid then.
Fast forward a couple of months, and the dresser still sat in the same frustrating spot. I contemplated hiring some people to move it, but I was frustrated by this small task I couldn’t seem to accomplish alone and having to pay people to do something my friends or family would do for free (if I had any, that is.)
I tried pulling, and shoving, and tucking aluminum foil under the legs to help it “slide” to no avail. The dresser would need to slide across carpet, shag rugs, and hard wood.
Finally I bought these stupid sliders thinking that it was probably a waste of $10. I was so wrong. I was able to lift up the corners just enough to slip the sliders under the legs and off I went! It was shocking how easy it was to push into place! When I came to the hardwood portion, I removed the sliders, added the fluffy covers, and vrooom!
Basically if you’re a miserable loser with no friends and a penchant for heavy antique furniture, you need these.
BRB- rearranging my entire apartment.
I had to move a 300 lb low cabinet across the living room where I have new hardwood floors with a bit of texture (grain). I used theses furniture movers and was able to slide the cabinet with no damage at all to the floors. I moved it with no help (I'm a 58 year old woman). I did have to use their furniture jack (sold separately) to raise the cabinet enough to get the sliders underneath.
I used just the plastic pads. I couldn't raise the piece enough to get the fluffy covers underneath! But they worked fine as is.
I just bought a second set of these. Definitely exact same thing. First set I bought about 20 years ago.
I originally bought these to easily move furniture around. Didn't want to tear up the carpet or scratch the floor. They worked good. They usually sat in a drawer.
Then I started using a metal frame a welder friend made for me as a kitchen table. Used these under the feet all the time.
A year ago, I bought this house. Bamboo floors. First thing I thought of was to use these with the carpet cover. They work great for my 'illustrious' little metal frame kitchen table. That table means alot to me because of who made it. It was meant to be a shop table.
Now I bought a kitchen island work table. One of those for cooking, with wood top. Tried some other small carpeted feet protectors. They work. But it just wasn't easy to slide it around on the floor. With wood (bamboo) floors, you're always cleaning. Moving things around. Want to move easily. These work much better. The size is part of it. I could spray some kind of lubricant on the carpet covers to slide even easier. Something like silicone.
Use with carpet covers or not. Work great for both.
I have thrown the carpet covers in the washing machine. No problem.
Use anyway I want. Temporary or permanent.
The foot of the furniture does form an indentation in this. Much better than forming an indentation in my floor. The size distributes the weight over a larger spot. The plastic base hasn't broken in many years.
I will admit that I did not think these would work. We bought the set to move a kitchen island, large overstuffed couch and glass front display case for our move. These really work. I lifted the island, my wife put the sliders underneath and it slid right along the floor. We tried them on the couch and were thinking to leave them there in case we move the couch but they are so easy to slide the couch now moves when we sit on it.
Just used the plastic when on carpet and added the fuzzy covers when on the tile floor of the kitchen. No scratches or marks what so ever. So, pleased with the way they worked we have now bought a second set. I would recommend these to anyone.
These SuperSliders are a great product! I rely on them to keep my floors scratch-free and they do not let me down. The covers stay ON, unlike another brand that I tried. I live in a small condo. When we have visitors, I like to move my table and couch to open the space up. I leave the SuperSliders on the furniture "feet" all the time. They are not noticeable, and they are handy when I need to quickly and easily slide things around. I don't need to wait for my husband to come home and help. I never use them without the furry covers.
As my husband and I are aged and have lots of health issues, we find it difficult to move any heavy furniture, I sent for a set to try them and was so pleased that I ordered another four sets. They are very useful and we will be leaving then in situ for our convenience - they don't look ugly, but younger fitter people may prefer to use them as and where necessary.
Bought to put under my sofa & chairs so as not to dint the flooring. My sofa us so heavy & could never move it in my own but now it glides easily
If you need to move furniture then you need this kind of product, they really work.
Really assisted in the moving of heavy furniture including a washing machine across a flat surface.
Fluffy covers did sometimes slip off for particular items
Great enables easy movement of furniture
