How do you tell what size furniture sliders to use?


A furniture slider is basically a smooth plastic disk that has a rubbery backside that "grabs" the furniture. The way these furniture sliders work is that they have a lower coefficient of friction (are more slippery) than the furniture so they will glide a lot easier. And the key to avoiding scenario is to get good quality furniture sliders (you'll want to avoid the cheap knock-offs) and to make sure you have the right size furniture slides.

A quality set of furniture movers will move things like a heavy entertainment center with a TV on it, a fully loaded bookshelf, and a full filing cabinet very effectively. If you plan on moving something very heavy (an entertainment center, a full bookshelf or filing cabinet, a heavy dining room table, heavy woodworking equipment like a table saw, band saw or lathe) you should definitely go with the bigger disks, at least 7 inches in diameter. If your moving something lighter (queen bed or smaller, lighter dining room table, couches and recliners) you can probably use the 3.5 inch disks. There are even smaller sliders available which can be permanently attached to chairs which is great for dining room chairs and deck chairs to make them easier to move around.
