Installing the Gorilla Glides
I installed these on the legs of my kitchen chairs. There had already been stick on felt pads in place, but these were starting to come off. The removal of these pads & cleaning the glue off took more time than I thought it would. I used Goo Gone, alcohol wipes, and a razor scraper, to make sure I had a clean surface to apply the glides to. I chose to also use the provided screws to make sure they would stay in place. I followed the instructions on the back which were easy to understand. After the installation, I sat on the chair and moved it back & forth on an an area rug and hardwood floor. Right now they work perfectly and are stable. If anything changes in the next year or so I will update my review. Also, the footnote about no gorillas being used in the manufacturing of the product was very reassuring😁.

No scratches, easy installation!
Easy installation, no scratches on the floor!We have a big heavy Dining Room table that gets used for many purposes, it gets expanded and/or moved around a lot on the hardwood floors. I was beginning to see fine scratches on the floors and these glide across the floor with no scratching and make the table much easier to move. Installation is a breeze!I highly recommend this product.

Durability and application much better than other brands or adhesive type
It used to be easy to find this slide type to find in local stores. Now it seems that only adhesive types are available. This brand and type allow for both an adhesive or nail. Nail is the preferred application. Experience with adhesive types has always resulted in the plastic slide cracking and breaking off and removing the adhesive it not always easy making the next application not as sturdy.The other great feature of this product is the sliding surface can easily be replaced when worn. it is removable and only the removal part is available to purchase resulting in an easier and more cost effective way to replace the sliders due to long term wear. These have been in use on dining chairs for nine months at the time of of this review. The replaceable part has never fell off during use but can still be easily removed for replacement.There is one downside to these sliders that affect giving this a 5 star rating. Although they are the preferred type for application when sliding a chair the chair doesn't drag but does make a vibrating audible sound like a chair without any slider on the chair. Others used but not the adhesive and non-desired types have offered a much quieter slide but more frequent replacement. Although the noise is not ideal the tradeoff for quality, preferred attachment type and ease of replacement still raises the preference in using these slider over other brands/types.

Good product
Bought to put on chair bottoms so they would move easier on the carpet. Had to use the screw option as the sticky pads would not stay in place, probably because of the friction cause by the carpet. Pleased with the outcome.

Works great on our new tile floor
Works great on our new tile floor. We had LVP before and had felt on all of our chairs. but the felt does not work as well due to the area where the grout is catches it. The hard plastic works.I like the way the usint comes apart so that I can screw it in to the bottom of the wooden chair legs, then put the part that sits on the floor on afterwards. That means I can replace that part easily since I bought more pieces thatn I need immediate;y/

So So
Good if it does not glide over grout lines as it pulls off when moving chair over grout lines. Difficult to remove old chair gliders and screw in anchor theses.

Glide smoothly on tile.
Worked great on 40 year old chrome tube frame on chairs. Screw head is recessed under a plug or cap. No scratching.

Won’t stay stuck on chair leg - and don’t glide well either
I first reviewed these Gorilla Glides chair feet in April, two months ago, finding that they just wouldn’t stay stuck to the chair legs, which makes ‘em useless at least to me; but I gave ‘em two stars rating instead of one ‘cause they seemed to glide fairly well over our tile floor considering the coarse, unglazed surface of our tile. You can see that original review following/below.However, now in June 2021, two months later, I’ve tried some other chair feet/glides, of the kind that have an embedded thin nail to hold the feet in place. I supplemented the nail attachment with some Duco cement, and am now fairly optimistic that those feet will stay attached in place. But, even more importantly here, those feet/glides with the nails as I used happen also to have teflon glide surfaces, instead of whatever different plastic foot is on these Gorillas. And wow, those teflon feet glide way, way better on our tile floor than these Gorillas do, despite the coarseness of the floor tile surface. In other words, these Gorilla Glides not only don’t stick to the chair legs, they also glide very poorly on the floor, certainly compared to the teflon glides.And to really rub it in, these Gorillas, which do nothing well, cost more than two times as much as the nail+teflon glides, which seem to do everything well.So again, after all, these Gorilla Glides don’t do anything well. Therefore now hereby demoted from 2 stars to 1 star.—— here below is my original 2-star review of these Gorilla Glides ———— from 2 months ago, April 2021 ——We wanted feet for our traditional hardwood dining chairs that would allow them to better glide over our unglazed, therefore coarse-surfaced tile floor. And we didn’t want to compromise the wooden chair legs by driving screws or nails up into their ends.We figured these Gorilla glides should be good, especially for the stick-on part of the job, ‘cause Gorilla has such a big rep. in the glue and adhesives business. And they cost twice as much as the competition, which we stupidly fantasized signaled a premium quality product. So we got ‘em.The good news is that they do the gliding part of the job fairly well, not great, but, like I said, our tile floors are coarse-surfaced, intentionally, to prevent people from slipping and falling, so these Gorilla glides might be as good as it gets with respect to gliding on/over the floor. Whether the Gorilla glide surface is reasonably durable or is going to wear down and through with continued use is a separate question - and one to which we will likely never know the answer because ...The bad news is that these Gorilla glides just don’t and won’t stay stuck in place with the adhesive on the bottom/end of the chair leg, even after scrupulously cleaning and prepping the chair leg ends, won’t stay even for a few dinners’ worth of very light use. I keep trying to shove ‘em back to the middle/center of the chair leg, it’s hard work, but they just keep sliding back out of place, clearly gonna’ slide right off as soon as I quit tending them, re-placing (forcefully re-positioning) them every few days.So I hereby give up on trying to make these Gorilla glides work. Not yet certain what I’m gonna’ do instead. I might experiment with other supposedly really good, strong adhesives, see if any of them can keep these Gorilla feet in place on the chair legs. Or maybe I’ll bite the bullet and try some glide feet that use a single very slender, thin nail (plus adhesive) to keep each glide in place.Meanwhile, to these Gorilla glides that only work at all as long as you laboriously re-work ‘em every few days, I give 2 stars.And, I just noticed, Gorilla has just stopped selling their 1.25-inch diameter glide here, the size I bought and want and need. Certainly not that I want them anyway at this point, but they’re really putting the nails in the coffin here.
