Overview

Protect floors from marring easily and permanently with tap in glides. A unique Swedish design, these felt tipped glides are held in place by a thin-walled metal rivet. Simply tap into the bottom of wood furniture legs with a hammer. Plastic base won't rust like steel glides.

Nylon glides mar the hardwood floors
Thomas M on Sep 11, 2017
I've been looking for something like this for use on wood chair legs. We just refinished our wood floors. The stick on/adhesive versions don't last long on chairs that get a lot of use. The reviews for this product gave me hope these will work much better.

Johanna M on Feb 18, 2017
I have not been able to find a decent chair glide
casey N on Feb 13, 2017
Very positive reviews by previous purchasers.
And visually they make a lot more sense than the stick on over the counter variety.

My daughter needed these for some chairs she had purchased, and needed the protection of her new hardwood floors.
Michael M on Dec 10, 2016
I have used them in the white color and wanted the brown for my dining room chairs. My only confusion came in determining the quantity in each package. I ordered two packages based on reading 16/pkg in one of the reviews. I hope this works!
LOIS P on Dec 1, 2016

Looking for something reliable and to hold up for our tables in our lounge. So far nothing has lasted longer than a few months.

best for chairs
jerry s on Sep 29, 2016
I used this before on chairs I had made. They hold up well and are easy to install.
M A on Sep 10, 2016
Excellent reviews. Best long-term value.
Paul N on Aug 19, 2016
We have had significant problems with the stick on pads sliding off, perhaps because the chairs are heavy. We chose these because (1) the pads were not stick on and (2) one review said they had used this type for 10 years with no problems, alleviating my concern that the round sleeve might damage the bottom of our rather expensive chairs. Also you had the light colored glides which pretty much match our chairs.
Jon S on Aug 9, 2016

just spent a good sum on refinishing floors and these are distributed by the finish company. They are well reviewed and a sold at a good price.

Very tired of replacing the stick on variety of glides. Reviews were good and I've liked Rockler products in the past

Because I already have these chair slides on my chairs and am replacing the ones that have worn out after 18 years..

Were looking for ease of installation and a way to easily move our oak kitchen chairs.

Researched best for wood chair legs on hard wood floors.
Margaret W on Aug 3, 2017
Should I drill in a starter hole for these? It seems like the metal would collapse while trying to drive them into a hard wood.
A shopper on Jul 4, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I simply drove them in with a hammer as directions said. My chairs were oak so I had concerns but they went in smoothly. The edges are sharp enough to allow the ring to cut into the wood. Having the wood inside the ring supports the glide which it could not do if you drilled a starter hole. I would buy and use again.

I'm looking for something to replace the casters on my office chair so that the chair will not move when I go to sit in it. Like a regular dining room chair. Are glides what I want?
pikov on Feb 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Glides can be a good option if they are sturdy enough. However, they will also lower your chair a couple of inches. Make sure you get heavy duty glides.
how do I know what size I need ?
becky on Apr 9, 2016
BEST ANSWER: You probably want the glide not to show when the feet are on the floor. I used the 7/8 inch glide on chair legs up to 1 1/4" and the 1 inch glides on legs with larger diameter.
Can these be used successfully on chairs with angled legs?
J T on Nov 7, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I sanded the bottom of the legs on mine to level them. I think the glides are much more effective and will last much longer if installed on a flat surface.
Can these tap in guides be used on dinning tables?
S S on Oct 24, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes I used them on our dinning room table and chairs. They are very strong. I tried those stick on guides for years but they always fell off and made marks on the floor.
Will these work for a heavy recliner on a wood floor?
Pamala G on Sep 17, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The largest size might work. Remember, these work on wood legs only, best driven into the end grain of wooden legs.
Do you have glides for bottom of chair legs to be used on sanded tile floors? The ones I presently have make the chairs difficult to move on the floor. Thank you.
Laura P on Jun 10, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I used these glides on wood floors. They are very sturdy and the felt feels very secure. Don't worry about felt falling off and scratching the wood floors.
How long do these last on ceramic floors? The ones from the big box stores only make it about 6 months before all the felt is gone.
Jim L on Feb 25, 2016
BEST ANSWER: They are really good quality. We use them on wood floors at a restaurant and they last around a year with high volume use. The felt is attached to plastic so when it wears down they won't scratch the floor. Tap in easily and I pry them out with a flat head screwdriver or vice grip. They are also nice that they don't get rocks stuck in them because of the type of felt so also won't scratch your floor. Best of 3 different brands I've used.
How many items are in a package?
Lee E on Jan 27, 2016
BEST ANSWER: 16 in the package that I bought.
Are the felt tips replaceable?
Stephenie P on Nov 21, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Pry out the old glide and hammer on a new one, placing the metal ring in the slot cut by the original glide.

This is THE ONLY product to...
This is THE ONLY product to consider for chair glides. I just installed a set on some new chairs, the set I installed on my old chairs (10 years ago) are going strong without a failure, despite daily use fo the chairs at a dining table.
August 16, 2008
the only way to go
we tried the stick-on variety...........you know what happened. So, we tried these "tap-in" glides. they install easily and stay where they're put. great product.

Tap in glides work very well
These glides are trouble free, and easy to install. I used to replace the self stick ones every few months. The tap in ones stay put and hold up well.

So Far-So Good
These seem to work as advertised and way better than anything I've used before. No problems what so ever so far...on a new plank tile, not slick, kitchen floor.
Would highly recommend to others.
