Furniture Slider Review---Moving Men

There are many practical applications for using furniture sliders from moving full desks or cabinets without taking everything out and then putting it back to installing furniture sliders on your couch or bed to make cleaning underneath and behind them much easier. As you can see there are many practical uses but which product is the best furniture sliders?  In this article we’ll review the top furniture sliders and rate their pros and cons as well as tell you where you can find the best deals. And in the beginning, we will review the Moving Men furniture slider first.

Moving Men Furniture Slider Set

The Moving Men furniture slider set is an eight piece packages that has two sets of sliders that are meant to handle a big and a small piece of furniture.  The large sliders are 7 inch disks (there are four of them) that are designed to move big furniture such as couches, beds and bookshelves or cabinets.  There are also 4 small sliders that are 3.5 inches in diameter and will move smaller items such as desks, recliners and dining room tables.  Not that the small sliders couldn’t be used for big items (or vice versa), however because they have a smaller surface area the friction will be higher and the furniture is more likely to slide off of the moving disks.

So how do the Moving Men Sliders perform ?

The Moving Men Sliders are easy to install.  It’s amazing how easily they slide across the carpet and it took me a couple of times to get the alignment right (I kept overshooting the mark).  It was a little difficult for me to do this by myself; I had to hold the bed up with one arm and my knee while I aligned the disk with the other arm.  Once installed, the moving men made moving the couch a breeze; it wasn’t hard at all.    The biggest problem I had with the Moving Men furniture sliding set was when I tried it on the dining room table.  We have hardwood floors in the dining room and the sliding motion of the disks scratched some of the finish.  It’s not real bad (probably because our table is fairly light) but it is something to be aware of when using them.  The one thought I had was that there could have been some dirt on the floor that may have caused the scratches.  If you do try and use them on hardwood floors, you would definitely want to sweep or vacuum the surface first to eliminate any dirt that could scratch the floor.

Check Out Amazon’s Prices on Moving Men Furniture Sliders

Amazon offers free shipping on purchases over $25 so my advice is to purchase two of these sets.  That way you can move your entire living room around without having to bend over and remove the  furniture sliders and put them back on again later if you change your mind. Plus, if you happen to lose one slider the set becomes useless (you can’t slide things with three furniture moving pads) so having an extra set will save you the effort of buying another set and waiting (or simply not using the sliders).
