4.0 out of 5 stars Works great! Installation instructions are lousy., October 24, 2011
This review is from: Waxman 4708995N 1-Inch Swivel Round Furniture Glides, Oatmeal (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have installed these on twelve different chairs, so I am clearly happy with how they work. After years of "stick ons" and other types of chair feet, these do a great job of keeping my wood and marble floors blemish free.

My only issue is that the instructions for installation are lousy. They read:
- Drill a small pilot hole in the chair leg
- Gently tap the glide into the leg

This is both vague and misleading, which can lead you to ruining one of the glides.

Pilot hole:
If you drill too small of a hole, the nail binds in the hole and bends. If you drill too big of hole, the nail doesn't grab and the glide falls out if you pick up the chair.
SOLUTION: Drill a 7/64" hole 5/8" of an inch deep. This is the same diameter as the nail, so it slides in easily, but the depth is shorter than the nail. So, when you tap it in the rest of the way, the nail bites into the wood.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally - Felt Pads for angular chair legs, June 24, 2010

This review is from: Waxman 4708995N 1-Inch Swivel Round Furniture Glides, Oatmeal (Tools & Home Improvement)
The swivel feet allow the felt to contact the floor surface fully vs just the edge of the felt pad. WARNING: You have to PRE-DRILL the leg holes to allow the nail studs to penetrate the hard woods of the chair legs. I also used a flat head nail drift / punch to drive the nails on the swivel pads to reduce damaging the swivel pad with a hammer. No big deal and worth the effort to do it right!! I am very anal that way.

We've got hardwood floors in our kitchen and have tried the little stick-on pads, only to have them fall off. These offer the same amount of protection, and are not going anywhere! I just ordered 3 more sets to use on the rest of my diningroom chairs.
