What's the diameter of the "nail?" I have chairs that have small holes already in the legs and I'm curious whether or not these will fall out.

I just measured the "nail " part and it is a rather large .345" as measured with a very accurate electronic caliper. If the chair or table legs you are wanting to nail them into is less than about 1" diameter, you will risk splitting the leg. I know, I speak from experience. The one good thing is that with the "nail" being so large in diameter, it won't bend even in tough wood. They are also rather sturdy by comparison with other products. For thinner chair legs that need a more conventional nail that is only about 1/16th inch diameter, you might try Mintcraft FE-50320 Plastic/Felt Glides. I have also tried these. Buy extra of them though as some of them fell apart while nailing them in place, and they bend readily. One has to nail them very square with the head of the hammer, and be very gentle. They are a bit cheaply made. I had better quality with ones I bought at Home Depot or my local hardware store.

Concur. It is like a big hollow nail. Worked fine for me with my brand new chairs from Restoration Hardware!

The nail is about twice as thick as the corresponding part on a typical bulletin board push pin or thumb tack. In my opinion, the nail could be a bit longer, but they have worked out well for my chair.

Should be fine. They are very compact. I would measure it however the chairs are at the beach house.

The maximum size nail is 2 inches. I counter sunk nails through 1/2" oak into another 1/2" oak board into a pine bench. And the result was very secure. Hope this helps.

These are meant for wooden legged chairs. The diameter of the pins are about 1/4 of an inch and are meant to be hammered into the wood base of the chair.

Just measure across the diameter of the leg at its bottom. If it measures just under 1" diameter, then you will have to wind some electrical tape around the end of the leg in order to make a tight enough fit for these rubber leg tips, so that they cannot fall off whenever you lift the furniture/equipment. Conversely, these rubber tips can be forced over a slightly oversized leg diameter; probably up to about 1 1/16".

This "big or not that big" thing would drive me nuts if I wanted to buy this product. I measured my full images and they seem to about 12 mm wide by about 19mm - 2 cm long. I have fairly wide nails, and I don't have problems with this size, but my nails are shorter.

Go with the longer ones; they will reach almost to the floor. Either one will fit the width and depth of the chair.

Had to send ours back, the holes were just a smidge too small to get the legs in without splintering :(

I Suppose you intend to fit these specific sliders onto the legs of furniture items. Bear in mind the material the furniture is made of; wood, plastic or metal. In any case, you will have to bolt the sliders under the legs. I would use a drill to make a tentative hole, in order to ease the bolt in.

Mine are slightly smaller. You won't see them unless you get real close. They work great. The chairs will slide easily on the floor.

We have the nail-in magic sliders on 8 heavy solid wood chairs -- our floors are very uneven - 3 x 6 inch terrazo bricks with very deep and wide grouting in between. Our chairs are pulled in and out from the table several times a day and I think in 5 or 6 years of use, maybe one slider has fallen off. The chairs are almost silent, and there are no marks on the floor. I would suggest getting the largest diameter glides that will fit the base of your chair legs, to even out the floor roughness.

They are great, they fit my chair legs. They have a nail that you pound in the bottom of the leg. They work great on marks on the floor

A pole two-inches in diameter may seem too wide. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the table right now to measure the diameter of the hole for you. I don't believe the hole can be widened without damaging the table. I love the table and chair set. It is very sturdy and attractive.

Good size. On one corner screw holes 1/2 cm below the place they should be. Could not fix them perfectly. Hope leg doesn't fall out. I need another one and am in 2 minds...

Can not access chairs right now to measure , put them away for the winter. Look at the table height that goes with chairs. It may be helpful to you. Sorry
