Product Information

Full details

The Slipstick GorillaFelt Swivel Glide Felt Sliders are designed for homeowners and office users seeking to prevent floor damage from furniture with angled or slanted legs. These gliders utilize a unique swivel ball-and-socket design to ensure the base remains flush with the floor, protecting delicate surfaces like hardwood, tile, and laminate from scratches. While they provide excellent floor protection and quiet movement, keep in mind that they add approximately 3/4 inch of height to your furniture, which may affect its overall ergonomics.

FAQs

Can these be used on carpet?

These sliders are specifically engineered for hard surfaces like hardwood, tile, and laminate; they are not intended for use on carpet.

Will these fit square furniture legs?

Yes, as long as the diagonal measurement of the square leg fits within the 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch range, these will function correctly.

Do I need to glue the gliders?

No, these are designed to be screwed directly into the furniture leg for a permanent and secure fit.

How much height do they add to my furniture?

These sliders add approximately 3/4 inch of height to the total height of your furniture piece.

Can I use these on outdoor furniture?

These are designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure may degrade the felt material over time.

Troubleshooting

The furniture leg split during installation.

Always pre-drill a pilot hole smaller than the diameter of the provided screw before installation.

The glider wobbles or does not sit flush.

Ensure the screw is tightened sufficiently so the ball-and-socket joint can engage properly and the felt is flush against the floor.

Felt base is collecting hair or dust.

Periodically clean the felt surface with a vacuum or a lint roller to ensure smooth movement and prevent debris from scratching the floor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents scratches and noise on hard flooring
  • Self-leveling swivel design works perfectly on slanted legs
  • Thick wool-blend felt offers superior durability
  • Secure screw-on installation prevents pads from sliding off
  • Fits a wide variety of furniture leg sizes

Cons

  • Adds 3/4 inch of height, which may change chair or table ergonomics
  • Requires drilling a pilot hole into the furniture leg for installation
  • Not suitable for furniture legs smaller than 3/4 inch

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these gliders, identify the center of the bottom of the furniture leg. It is highly recommended to drill a small pilot hole first to prevent the wood from splitting when you drive in the provided mounting screws. Once the pilot hole is ready, simply screw the base into the leg until secure. These gliders are compatible with most wood furniture legs ranging from 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. For care, periodically inspect the felt base for debris or grit accumulation. If the felt becomes extremely worn after years of heavy use, simply replace the glide unit to ensure continued protection.
