Questions and Answers for Shepherd 1-1/2 in. White Plastic Insert Patio Furniture Cups (4-Pack)

A:  they are plastic but go inside legs of patio furniture - they would not work on the student desks we used when I taught.

A:  This are plastic inserts for wrought iron patio furniture. I doubt that they will fit student desks.

A:  They are plastic, which deteriorate over time outside. Not sure if they'll work on student desks. I bought them to fit an old metal patio table and chairs. They are friction fit inside the patio/table legs. They were replacements for what was originally in the legs.

A:  Red 58, thank you for your question. These cups do not have anything on the bottom, they are plastic all the way around. These are made to insert into the foot of wrought iron furniture legs, they will not have any friction to stick around the legs of students desks.

A:  Depends on diameter of desk feet. These fit my 1 1/2 " patio table feet. And have been outdoors for 3 years. Still performing as expected.

A:  They are one piece of hard plastic - meant only for wrought iron furniture - not for desks.

A:  Debra: I checked around and found out that they do come in black.

A:  Never seen available cups in black

A:  My chairs and table are black, but the white inserts do not show. I do not believe black inserts are an option.

A:  The only color I saw in the store where I purchased them was white.GGB

A:  I have only found this brand in white but they are the best for a hassle free install. For my black furniture, I've tried other brands that were black plastic but they don't work on old wrought iron furniture that does not bend. My only thought is to take a black permanent marker and color the white part of the cups that can be seen. I'm going to try that when the weather gets warmer.

A:  They will not fit. We need 1.25 as well.

A:  If the diameter of your chair "foot pads" are 1 1/2", you will need the 1 1/2" round insert cups. I have two outdoor tables and chairs and the 1 1/2" cups fit all the legs. Hope this helps.

A:  You measure from the outside edges. I had the same thought, but the 1 1/2 " fit perfectly.

A:  I think these will fit. The inner ring is slightly undersized so they can snap in

A:  If your chairs measure 1 1/2” then these are the ones you need. Easy to install by using a hammer to tap them into place. Took about 40 minutes to install on 5 chairs and a table.

A:  These fit into a round hollow socket at foot of the chair leg. You should measure the inside diameter of that socket. It should be close to 1 1/4 “

A:  Should fit you might need to clip a eye or two off so they fit. Only ones I have found

A:  Great. Easy to put one. Saves on our wood deck at our cabin.

A:  Perfect fit, install was quick and easy, and chairs slide so much better on the concrete with these slides.

A:  Easy installation. No issues. I had ordered some from another company online and they were a nightmare to install. These were a breeze and at a great price too. Would order again.

A:  The 1 1/2" cups fit perfect in my patio chairs legs.

A:  I don't see anything like that on the Home Depot website. You may need to find some "glides" that push on OVER your chair legs.

A:  They don't sell Shepherd in the store. Everbilt should be stocked and they are the same thing. Both are made in China, probably in the same place.

A:  You can order them online and they will ship them to the store for free for you to pick up.

A:  My store was out and I ordered online and had them shipped to the store for pickup. This saves you time by not having to check to see if they are in stock. I received them in 3-4 days.

A:  You would need to contact your local store to ask when they will be in stock, or the store can special order them for you.

A:  I ordered mine online and they were delivered to the store in 2 days.

A:  The ones I've installed have held up well. The furniture is not moved around much. If you slide furniture with these cups on the feet over concrete a lot, they will wear out.

A:  They hold up well, but it will ultimately depend on how rough the concrete surface is and how often the furniture is moved, because they will wear down over time.

A:  Depending on how rough the finish is on the concrete they should hold up pretty well. The nice part is they are very reasonably price should you need to replace them with any frequency.

A:  I just purchased mine. They will be on a concrete patio....time will tell.

A:  I would say most likely not very well. They are light duty caps.

A:  The store ones kept cracking I tried putting them in hot water and also sprayed with lubricant with no success. The ones on line went in easier with piece of wood and mallot.

A:  I found them very easy to install. Just center them and push hard and evenly. The first few were a bit more difficult until I got the hang of it. I installed 20 of them in no time.

A:  I used a block of wood and a hammer to install the patio cups. You need to make sure the patio leg that will take the cup is clean of any debris or rust. I first cleaned them out with a flat bladed screw driver.

A:  I line them up one leg at a time and sit on it. Worked great.

A:  I used a soft rubber mallet - installed with one tap. The inserts will wear down so instead of dragging chairs, we lift them when needing to move.

A:  Yes.

A:  No, these are designed to fit into metal chair legs.
