1 in. Beige Round Felt Threaded Stem Furniture Glides for Floor Protection (4-Pack)

These Threaded Stem Furniture Glides from Everbilt come with four complete stem glides in the package, which is enough to accommodate one four legged piece of furniture. Each stem has a one inch (25mm) diameter glide. The glide has a thick soft felt pad attached to it, which I think is held on with glue. Each stem has a ¼-20 thread, which screws into a durable threaded insert. These stem glides are not for use on carpeting. The felt pad on the glides will not slide on a carpet. These stem glides are to be used on a hard surface floor like a vinyl, laminate, or hardwood flooring. You will need a drill, an 11/32 inch drill bit, and a hammer to install these Threaded Glides. You start by marking the location of the holes you are going to drill with a pen or pencil. If you are installing these on a round furniture leg or chair leg, make certain that you have the center mark directly in the center of the leg. If the furniture or chair leg happens to be at any angle (not straight, perpendicular to the floor), you should drill the hole for the insert at an angle so when the leg is placed on the floor the glide pad will sit flat on the floor. Failure to do this will result in the glide pad being at an angle and not sitting flat on the floor. This may cause undue stress on the glide, and cause it to bend, or break. I wrapped a piece of tape around the drill bit one inch up from the end of the drill to mark the one inch depth I needed to drill the holes. If installing these on a piece of furniture that sits flat on the floor without legs (like I did), make sure that the wood is thick enough to drill into one inch deep. You wouldn’t want to drill all the way through it. You then tap the threaded inserts into the holes with a hammer until the lip of the insert is seated tightly against the furniture. Then screw the glide into the insert. I screwed them all the way in, but they can be adjusted to different levels to accommodate for uneven floors. The felt pads will adsorb water or liquids, so keep this in mind if using them on a wood floor.

These threaded stem furniture glides with felt bases are very easy to install. It is simply a four step process. Step 1. Mark where you want the slide to be. Step 2. Drill a hole 1" deep at the mark. Step 3. Tap the plastic insert into the hole with a hammer. Be careful to insert it straight. Step 4. Screw the slide into the plastic insert. These slides are very durable. The felt pads stay adhered as opposed to the type of felt pads that are just "stuck" on with peel off glue. I recommend the threaded stem furniture glides with felt for wood or laminate floors.

These furniture slides are just the correct size for your stools ! The poly material and stainless screws make these perfect for long life !! Just a drill, an 11/32 inch bit a light hammer and a sharpie are all the tools you need ! These slides solve the problem of stick on slide pads from coming unstuck ! No more off balance stools as these slides are adjustable for uneven floors !!

Somewhat difficult to install, primarily because 1 of the stems threads was defective. It looked like it was not stamped or machined correctly. I've attached a photo of the endpiece of the stem I cut off, since I thought just the end was bad. I ended up having to hammer it in with my dead blow hammer.

Easy to install and adjust after installation

I am very happy with this purchase

I used 4 new packages to replace existing glides I installed a couple years back.

I used them on the bottom of a desk. The desk is heavy and so far they are working great!
