Comment on Help making a table more movable
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 days agoMy experience with the furniture slides is while they’re great on carpet, on hard surfaces they will hold onto anything hard (like a grain of sand/a seed) and then drag that along the floor, marring it.
Thick felt is the answer, and it’s a wear item. But it should easily last a year.

I have tried the gliders in the past, they did not even work for a single move.

For hardwood, you want the felt sliders, not the plastic ones. They come in all kinds of sizes and thicknesses. I have them on everything and they work great. Just keep in mind the heavier the furniture the thicker and more coverage you’ll want underneath.

Thanks, I have only ever seen the plastic sliders in stores. I found some felt ones online and ordered those.
