I typically begin all of my Amazon reviews the same way, by saying that I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and rarely take the time to write a review. The product has to be really bad, or I have to be thrilled by how good it is. I read the reviews of these furniture sliders and wasn't sure about them, but they were cheap and I decided what the heck. To be honest, I wasn't expecting them to work. I have some heavy furniture that I needed to move in a carpeted room. I have a heavy desk that typically would take 2 people to move. So I slipped these little things under the legs of the desk, and....magic....you can just slide the desk effortlessly across the room with one hand, easily. The sliders stay in place, and the desk just glides on the carpet. So, I'm saying this is one of those products that I am taking time to review, because they really work and am really amazed that they work even better than I would have expected. I can't imagine what went wrong for the people who wrote negative reviews. One side of the slider is smooth and shiny so it can glide across the floor, and the other side is kind of a cushion where the furniture legs sink down into it, thus preventing them from slipping off when you move the item.
I bought these to put under my entertainment center legs so I could slide it out easier to access the back of the TV. I had trouble before because the feet would dig into the carpet, and it's pretty heavy to lift and move at the same time.
I struggled to lift it enough to put these under the legs, and then moving it was practically effortless. I expected it to slide off the movers or for the movers to get hung up in the carpet, but none of that happened. Plus they're the same color as my carpet so I'm leaving them where they are. Would buy again.
Used 8 for my small loveseat. I swear we could run a carpet down Mt. Everest and this couch could glide all the way down smoothly.
I always have to move the couch to bring out my piano or play Wii games on my balance board. Instead of my workout being "moving the couch" I move it with one hand, or push it away lazily with my foot.
I had several pieces of junk furniture I wanted to get rid of and needed to move them into position near my front door so the junkmen could get them more easily ( maintaining social distancing, as we're asked to do during this Covid 19 pandemic). And I have rheumatoid arthritis, so I have be careful not to lift anything heavy.
These sliders worked very well , on both carpet and tile. I was able to tilt each piece of furniture enough get the sliders well in place.
I used them again to move some bookcases and a television cabinet...the foam padding is a squashed down now.
Sliders did what was claimed. I'm 72 and have an extremely heavy couch. Once I put the sliders underneath, no mean feat, I could move it with a minimum of effort. Will be ordering more when my new couch comes in. Nice to be able to vacuum underneath for a change.
These things are amazing. I didn't think they'd work. They make moving my bed from the corner so easy on carpet. I have a bad back so these really help when making the bed. They do deform a bit from the weight but it doesn't seem to effect their use.
I used this to move a 100-lb desk all by myself. Specifically, I slide my sit-stand desk with heavy metal legs and a motor around my carpeted living room. The Pandemic, with the continuous shelter-in-place, has left me weak. I used to work out at least three times a week at the gym. Lifting 80 lbs was easy back then. Now, I cannot even lift 25 pounds. These sliders definitely saved my proverbial bacon by making it easy to move my sit-stand desk around my living room when I was rearranging my furniture. Note that you'll need to get the right type of slider for the surface you are using it on.
I have to move my furniture around fairly frequently. I was given some of these furniture sliders as a gift, and they made the job so much easier I bought a second set. The furniture doesn't slide around when I don't want it to, but moving even heavy pieces is a breeze. So glad I have these!
I put these under my stereo cabinet and it easily bent them. They do allow me to slide the cabinet on the carpet now, which was not easy before. But I don't know how well they would hold up to repeated moving. If you've got a lighter cabinet these should be fine, but if I had a lighter cabinet, I wouldn't need the sliders. I suggest they offer a beefier version. Overall, the product does what it says.
They don't stay in place. Every time you want to move the furniture you have to lift the furniture to place disk back under.
Good quality. Good product for preserving floor (carpet or hardwood), does not have a sticky part which is a bonus and prevents from accumulation of hair and dirt.
Makes it a breeze moving small items across carpet.
good furniture gliders i am a senior can now move my couch where iwant.
