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).

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.

How to move heavy appliance with furniture slider?

Furniture slider is a important part when you are putting off redecorating or cleaning your room.No need to worry about back pain from lifting a too-heavy item or scratches on your hardwood floor. Here I will help you how to move furniture with slider that save you tons of time and energy.

² Recruit help if possible. Moving furniture is always easier and safer with two.

² Empty everything out of a cabinet or desk before attempting to move it. Paper, dishes and books are very heavy, and eliminating some of the bulk simplifies the job.

² Create your own sliders with pieces of cardboard and towels. Towels work best on hard floors; cardboard is better for carpet. Cut them to a manageable size and create one for each leg.

² Purchase furniture sliders at any home goods store if you prefer them to homemade sliders. There are several styles available. Purchase the size that will fit the legs of your furniture and use ones from a reputable company. Ask a salesperson for help if you're not sure which ones to buy.

² Tilt the furniture piece forward or backward so one of the legs comes up off the floor. Push the slider under the leg with your foot or have your helper put it under. Using this technique, put sliders under all the legs.

² Push or pull the furniture to the new location when each leg has a slider underneath. If the sliders are small enough or hidden, you can keep them under the legs for the next move. Some furniture sliders are meant to be permanent.
