My hubby and I were facing a multi-room flooring project. We needed to shuffle furniture from room to room, but aren't exactly muscle bound. My son recommended these sliders, so I ordered them. When they arrived my husband was upset because he felt I'd wasted money on a product that wouldn't work for our needs.
He apologized almost immediately. These babies work amazingly well and made our task so much easier.
We recently had carpet replaced in our basement rec room, which has a few very heavy pieces of furniture. It would have been very difficult to handle without the Super Sliders. We were even able to go easily from carpet to vinyl tile. We followed the instructions and made sure the vinyl floor area was clean and free from anything gritty that may damage the floor. Our carpet installer tried to do us a favor and move one piece of furniture over the vinyl with carpet pieces, thinking the sliders would ruin the floor and actually broke the furniture trying to do it. We fixed it and moved it easily with the sliders. To give an idea of how well they work, I have a heavy duty Lane chest filled with books. It cannot be moved without the sliders or removing the books, but with them I can move them on my own, across carpet and vinyl.
These are brilliant! I don't know how I made it this far in life without them. I bought a pack when I moved to my new house, because I didn't want the furniture to wreck the new flooring I had installed. And it turns out that not only is it good for keeping the floors from being scraped up or the carpets from being crushed, but it has made vacuuming under my furniture something that actually happens! So easy to shove a piece over, clean underneath, and push it right back again.
I have people coming to clean the carpets but they said they're not moving any of the furniture. I'm a 5 foot 2 inch woman and I weigh over 200 pounds so I can carry my own weight obviously but it's different when you're moving furniture that weighs over 200 pounds. Luckily I had prime got these Saturday and moved a pool table and 3 piece sectional alone in less than 30 minutes.
These sliders work great, if you can lift it you can move it. After moving several items I wanted to move my oak buffet, but it was to heavy for me to pick up. So when my husband had the time I asked him for help. He of course scoffed at my sliders and was going to move the buffet on his own steam. I watched in horror as my poor buffet moaned and swayed, but did not budge. I then directed my complaining husband to lift as I slid the appropriate sliders in place. Then with no trouble and little effort he pushed my oak buffet to it's new location.
I never knew how good these would be until I used them. The most difficult thing was lifting the furniture to slide one under each leg but once I did I was surprised at how easy it was to move an entire 5 piece bedroom set. I didn't even have to remove the drawers! I could have used another set of the plastic pads so that I could have left them all in place while my new floors were being installed, but I just switched out the nightstand pads as they were the lightest. I was curious how the cushioned part of the sliders would be after having quite a bit of weight on them for nearly a week but they sprung right back up as though they were never used. I haven't used the soft pads so I can't speak to their usefulness.
There weren't even enough 5" sliders of the size I needed (I needed 4 and there were only 3. Who needs 3 of any size?). There are SO few large circles and squares that this is not worth the money I paid. 32 of these sliders are circles the size of a quarter! They won't even fit under my dining chairs! Maybe my granddaughter can use them in her dollhouse. RIP-OFF! The only good thing about these is the color.
As a single person I had ordered these a long time ago because I have several pieces of very heavy furniture I would not be able to move even one inch by myself. But I decided to get this complete set so that I could just leave the sliders under the furniture so I could move furniture when I wanted without having to go get the small 4 piece set that I had normally used. If you leave them under very heavy furniture they do tend to get warped but at this price who cares? They still work. The sliders make it so any woman can slide a heavy piece of furniture around the room with ease. It's wonderful for when you're trying to rearrange your furniture but don't know if the new arrangement will look good. This way you can slide the furniture all over and try different things very easily. If you don't like it slide it back just like that! Or if you just want to be able to move the furniture for dusting or vacuuming.
Can't recommend these enough.
They're ok, nothing special
Really good pack of gliders
Very good selection for price and went under the washing as required
Hard to believe that heavy furniture could be so easy to move on a rug. I used it on tables, easy chairs and a heavy audio console. It is so easy you have to be careful not to push back on the easy chair when standing up as the chair will move back very easily. Easy to adjust to this. I can now move the console with ease to reach at the cables in the back.
We had new floors installed that had a dull finish (looks more natural). These gliders didn’t really like to be moved across the surface. We found that they tended to stay behind as the furniture moved forward.
