Installation

Pros:

  • "Loved being able to stick them in quickly by adhesive even if I later use the screw-it-on option."
  • "Easy to install, either using the adhesive or screw or both."
  • "Love these. They were secured with a screw (my chairs were predrilled) and the covering over the screw slides pretty well on our outside cement floor."
  • "Installing these Gorilla furniture glides was quick and simple for this elderly lady."
  • "Needed something for our kitchen table and chairs with our tile floor. Easy to attach."
  • "These were very easy to attach. Wish I hadn’t waited so long. Such an easy fix to a big problem."
  • "They were easy to install and they slide across the dining room rug nicely."

Cons:

  • "These must be put on with the screws that are provided. They will not stay on otherwise."
  • "The adhesive used isn’t strong enough to stay on one of the legs of the coffee table, so when it’s moved, the round slider comes off."
  • "The adhesive stickers were useless but since they screw in it didn't really matter."
  • "I had hoped to just use the adhesive, however they did not stay on and I had to go buy a drill so I could use the screws."
  • "Even after thoroughly cleaning the bottom of the chair legs, the stick-on gliders do not stay on."
  • "I really wanted these to work. Easy to put on. They pop off every time you sit and slightly move the chair."
  • "These do not adhere well. I was very disappointed."

Performance on Floors

Pros:

  • "This product works great on hardwood floors."
  • "On tile, the sliders, well, slide a lot better; the felt pads don't slide at all."
  • "We have new vinyl plank flooring and was afraid the chairs would scratch the floor do I got these and they slide do easily."
  • "These Gorilla Slides are definitely worth the (slightly) extra money as compared to the cheapy, sticky, felt pads you can buy."
  • "These glides work perfectly on our wooden kitchen chairs."
  • "I like that I can now move my dining chairs without the metal feet scraping the ceramic tile floor."
  • "They really glide nicely on hard surfaces."

Cons:

  • "These do NOT work. They slide off of the bottom of the chair leg onto the side of it and leave black glue residue all over the floor."
  • "Grooves developed in the plastic and scratched the floor worse than the chair legs."
  • "The lids keep popping off and there are scratch marks on the floor."
  • "These pads didn't slide well at all on my short nap carpet and the double sided tape did not adhere to my coffee tables metal pads."
  • "These are very hard and after some use started to scratch my laminate floor."
  • "Not only do they not slide very well, on carpet or wood floor, they do not adhere well."
  • "Purchased these so I could easily move my sofa on carpet. NOPE...They do not work for that purpose and really shouldn't be advertised for carpet."

Design and Quality

Pros:

  • "Much smother movement than I expected, which is what I was looking for."
  • "I love these for my chair I used to have these little sticker material kind but I remove them and place these."
  • "Very easy to install and much more durable than the others I’ve tried."
  • "I like the screw in option with the sticker."
  • "I like the design. I like that the replaceable slide pieces are available."
  • "These had both adhesive as well as holes and screws (included) that offer two separate ways to affix them to the legs."
  • "The size is perfect for my barn table and benches. They glide easily on a tumbled slate floor."

Cons:

  • "The glide cap needs to be rounder."
  • "Probably didn't need the screws for my application. This could have been an option when ordering... to have the screws or have it come without."
  • "The caps are made of thin, cheap plastic."
  • "The screw heads given are too large to be able to put the cap on."
  • "The screws included in the package seem a bit large so you may want to swap them out, depending on the size of your chair or table leg."
  • "These are the only ones that continually drop off."
  • "For a gorilla product, I was surprised that the adhesive discs didnt work very well."
