I used the product to move a heavy cabinet. They made it easy to move the cabinet, however, it made fine scratches on my hardwood floor.

Moving that desk? The sofa? If you can get someone to lift up the legs (assuming you need help) these teflon pads are a miracle. Slide them under the legs of the table or sofa and push across a rug like a sledge in the fine snow. Wheee!!!! And they prevent scratching the floor ...as long as you wipe the floor first to keep grit from under the pads.

I'd say these are a must-have in any home, and I'd recommend them as a housewarming gift. Get two sets and you will make a memorable impression for anyone as a practical, thoughtful person. And get a set for yourself. These are terrific.

The Moving Men TV commercials are a bit over-hyped, but the sliders do work very well. One must realize that all they do is reduce friction, making it easier to move large items. They do not make items less heavy and it will take some effort to insert them under heavy items. Even with Moving Men installed it will take more effort to move heavier items than lighter ones, but at least they do make it possible to move those heavy items.

I recommend the Moving Men and I intend to purchase additional sets.

These are not ideal for wood floors. I recommend the type that look like muppets - they are much easier to get under the furniture and glide better.

After moving three pieces of furniture, these sliders look four years old - scratched, dirty and indented from the weight. The white lip is curved up slightly, which makes it hard to slip under, and harder for me to do solo - and I'm no weakling.

I think there are better examples of this product, especially the furry ones that I got at Home Depot for our house in NJ.

If you are contemplating moving furniture yourself for any reason, this is the smartest way to move heavy items. One person can move furniture that was completely impossible to move before using the sliders.

The 4 giant sliders work well for treadmills, tables, heavy bookcases and couches. The smaller sliders work well under lighter items like chairs or small tables. The small sliders will slide out from under heavier items, so you might still want to use the giant ones for moving washers, dryers or refrigerators. The other issue is, you will have to get more sliders if you use these for moving those three items as it will be impossible to retrieve the two you used at the back of say the washer.

You can use these to move loaded bookcases, but the truth is, you might compromise the bookcase, so I'd still advise removing at least half the books before you try this. Also, getting the sliders under the bookshelves is a little more difficult when they are full of books!

Recently I used these while cleaning my carpets and they have an added bonus, because you can leave them under the furniture, move the furniture back over to the carpet you just cleaned and continue on. The plastic base keeps furniture safe even on a freshly cleaned carpet.

Another use is while you are vacuuming or doing a big-time cleaning project. You can use the sliders under a bed and move the bed so you can vacuum more easily. I can think of many other uses, but the two main ones are moving heavy desks and for use when cleaning carpets. I'd highly recommend buying two or three boxes, although I've been able to survive with just one box so far. It would have been nice to have at least two boxes while cleaning the carpets.

So, if you want to save your back from strain and you are tired of feeling achy and sore after moving furniture, give these a try. They will impress! The box is also sturdy enough to store the sliders for an extended period of time.

~The Rebecca Review

A couple of years back, I bought this from an As-Seen-On-TV store for $20. Recently I paid $10 for another set for a friend. At $10, I thought it was a steal. At $3.59 on Amazon...!

A word of Caution - this works ONLY on carpet. On wooden or other hard floors, it gets scratched easily. If they had stated this clearly in the description, I would have given it 5 Stars. The idea of attaching felt strips by another reviewer is smart way, but not something that my set came with.

BTW, if used properly, it works amazing when used on Carpet to move anything, including heavy furniture. When needed I move my 200lb TV while on its stand all by myself. Sofa, table etc are a breeze.

I just received this product and the first thing that I saw in the instructions is that it is not for floors that will scratch (like hardwood)- which is exactly what I bought it for. This was not mentioned anywhere in the product description or on the outside of the box. I will be returning it.

We used these at home on clean wood floors, and they scratched the floors terribly. Perhaps they're fine on carpet, but keep these away from wood floors.

Not as advertised.....these look wonderful on the Amazon site....they would be beneficial IF you only have carpeted floors. For carpeted flooring only....darn packaging doesn't even state carpet only...have to open package and hunt for application. Was a total waste of $ for me.

I was skeptical when I bought this but was I surely surprised when I used it. I have a wrought iron coffee table that weighs about 300 lbs. which I can't move without help. But putting the big gliders in, even my 9 yr old daughter was able to slide it by herself.

This is the best thing there is that is an "AS SEEN ON TV" product.

I only gave it a 4 star because although it makes moving furniture so much easier, you still need someone to lift up the furniture so that you can slip the disks under. Taking the disks out from under them when the furniture has been moved to a corner was way difficult for a one person job - you definitely need some help on this one.
