I have a large kitchen table that has an annoying habit of walking around the kitchen. The floors are composite wood, and the wooden base slides very easily. Second, the table is just a little bit too low to allow our wheeled kitchen chairs to slide under the table. These little guys solved both problems. === The Good Stuff === * They get quite a good grip on the floor. Our floor, a laminated composite, is fairly slippery- even athletic footwear doesn't always get a good grip on it. These little feet manage to get a reasonable grip on it. You can still slide the table, but you have to use enough force that it doesn't happen by accident. Even the dogs (3 large ones) bumping into it doesn't seem to move the table.. * The feet also added about 3/8 of an inch of vertical height to the table. This provided two advantages. First, the table is now high enough that the arms of our chairs can fit under it, which gets them out of the way. Second, air can now flow between the bottom of the table and the floor. That keeps things cleaner, and eliminates the nasty stuff that seems to live under there. * The color of the units matches up well with my wooden (pine) table. Even though they are visible from the sides, they disappear unless you are specifically looking for them. === The Not-So-Good Stuff === * The feet come with both screws and double-sided tape already attached to them. I wouldn't trust the tape to hold these on anything that gets any lateral movement at all. The adhesive on tape is just not strong enough, especially if the table surface is a bit uneven, varnished or painted. I bought some slightly heavier screws than the ones included (#10, 2" stainless steel) because I didn't want them to pull out and damage the table. I chose stainless steel because I didn't want them to corrode if exposed to moisture. === Summary === They worked great for my application, a table that doesn't move (and isn't supposed to move much). I am not a fan of tape and adhesives for mounting something like this, and I am glad I went with the larger screws. The plastic seems fairly hard, so I expect them to hold up for quite a while.

I added these to my iron chairs I use on my new Trex deck. These happen to be the right diameter; 1 1/4 inch, for the inside diameter of these chairs. They are just thick enough so I did not have to modify in any way. Just used the peel and stick since they will always have force on them. If they become loose, I can glue them on. They definitely work as skid proof and protection for the floor. I used these on other furniture for my hardwood floors and they work well. I used the included screws to attach to the wood chairs in that case. Read more
I have three recliner couches situated on the porcelain ceramic tile in the great room of my home. They moved out of place every time someone kicked the foot rest back in place when they got up, and it was driving me crazy. I looked for something to put on the plastic glider feet that would prevent this movement at 3 different hardware stores and could not find anything designed for this purpose. Then I stumbled across this product when searching online, and after watching a short video clip I was convinced this was exactly what I was looking for, and by golly, they work great! My husband had to modify them by making the hole bigger since they had to replace the plastic feet that were integrated into the metal frames with "screw bolts" (not sure this is the right term), but he did it OK. We were both convinced that it was worth the extra effort to do it this way versus just using the stick on pads that they came with since we did not have a wooden frame that they could be screwed into. I would recommend this product. Read more
I wanted to write a review to give more detail on the application of this product. I wasn't sure how this would perform for a very specific task. I have laminate floors and the dining room set we have has angled chair legs (NOT straight 90 degree angles). Up until this I have been periodically purchasing swivel nail-on felt pads for the chair legs. This kind work great, the problem is that they wear out over time and they are not what I would call cheap at local ACE hardware store. So, I thought I would try Slipstick and while they are quality made, I think they would work best in a situation where the furniture piece has 90 degree straight legs and the piece is not intended to be moved frequently (like a chair). However, I do think they will last a while longer then their felt counterparts. Read more
I bought one pack of these to try them out. I liked them so much have have bought additional packs. Pros: - gives just the right amount of grip - size fits a lot or types of furniture - durable - stick or screw Cons: - much pricier than felt pads - can't trim them to the size of the furniture feet like you can with felt pads These Slipstick gripper feet are great for furniture that you want to stay put most of the time. I put them on an arm chair and associated ottoman. Now the ottoman isn't always sliding away from under my feet! The ottoman is still slidable by hand, but stays put when I want it to. Just the right amount of grip. These are not something you would want to have on kitchen chairs that are constantly being pushed in and out. They are also very durable; they aren't going to wear out like felt pads. I like the option to screw or stick. Each foot comes with a double-sided stick foam piece attached. Very easy to attach quickly or very securely. I have found that the quick stick works for me. My only complaint is that my chair legs are a little narrower than the feet so the feet stick out a bit. It isn't too noticeable, but I would like narrower ones. Read more
I used the little rubber circles before on my couch and it still slid around also they wore out in no time. These grip the floor much better and they feel durable. The rubber rings grip good but don’t feel like they will hurt my wood floors Read more
Needed for furniture on new hardwood floors was easy to install and no more chair sliding. Read more
