My dining room chairs already have a round plastic disc attached to the bottom of the legs. Do I drill through the disc or do I remove them?

I would remove them since the profile of both might look too high. These sliders are much better!

If the leg are wood, remove them. If they are steel , these sliders may not work.

We used a hammer to pound the pointed nail like stem into the wooden chair leg. The circular round plastic covers the end of the leg. I would like to try a slider just a slight bigger than the chair leg. I think it might slide easier. Still I am happy with the ones that are the exact size of the leg.

You also must make holes for them before attempting to nail them in to the feet of your chair. Mine bent and broke off on about 1/3 of them. I know you asked for specs, but the previous answer included that. I just wanted you to be aware of the problem I had with them.

Your chair legs should be wood. With a light hammer, these sliders tap into the bottom of the chair leg. The ideal hammer would probably be a non marring dead blow hammer. Or a wood mallet. The chair leg should not have cross sectional dimensions smaller than 1" by 1". The bottom of the chair leg should be flat.

Make sue the brakes are on. Then align the holes at 90 degree angle to chair. (The way you'd turn them if patient were getting out of chair). They will snap in like a puzzle then you use the black lever to click them forward

Probably from the Boss chair company. Lowe's should have something that would work too.Furniture restoration stores should be able to help. I didn't buy any...didn't need to.

I don't think that will be a problem. My chairs arrived with black plastic plugs or inserts on the bottom of each leg. Feels like either plastic or nylon. The bottoms of legs are flat, so felt could be attached. Hope that helps.

Just screwing on the legs to the body of the chair. Screwdriver is required for this.

I just pressed them in. You could also put the plastic piece on the floor and press the bar onto them from the top. Just make sure they are aligned well so you don't maim the plastic piece when you press down.

Table is unassembled. Legs should be able to be removed and re-attached. Just carefully loosen the screws.

The bottoms of the legs consist of black plastic discs screwed on via a bolt thread. In order to adjust the height of the table for levelness, you can twist the discs either into the legs or away.

I think i would use felt pads instead. These are about 2 inches square and have a place for a wheel. I don't think they would be practical for sliding dining chairs in and out.

We bought a multi-pack of various size felt slides at a big-box warehouse store. We roughed up the bottom of the chair w/sand paper & put a dab of wood glue on it & then applied a felt slide & let it dry. This method lasts for years (we've done this to all our wood furniture). Works great and doesn't harm our wood floors.

I'd say just tap them in. Our chair legs are square, and they worked fine. The tip that you install is the only thing that will be coming into contact with the floor. It does not need to fill the entire tip of your furniture's legs. Now if you were talking about a rectangular leg tip that is six inches long, then I probably would tap in two of the tips for each leg. By the way, I had doubts about these tips being able to be hammered into our furniture legs (very hard wood), but I held the tip carefully and took careful aim with a hard rubber mallet. Do not use a metal hammer. They went in easily, and none have worked loose from the legs. I'd say just tap them in. Our chair legs are square, and they worked fine.

There's no point actually, but the stub that you can see in the package protruding from the center is an open cylinder of metal with a fairly sharp edge. So it is not difficult to just hammer the thing onto the end of your chair leg and the open circular ridge of metal digs right into the wood of the chair leg until the slider is flush with the tip of the leg. It's been a very long time since I installed these, and I haven't given them a single thought in a long time because they haven't caused me a bit of problem. All of them are still in place and working fine. I don't know how they would do for bare floor, but they are great for carpet. I hope this makes sense and helps you decide.

Galadriel,Thank you for your inquiry. The legs are bolted onto the bottom of the puzzle table. You can just undo the bolts and work with just the puzzle table top, if you choose. If you have any questions, please let us know.nj

Hi Lucy! They have a glossy topcoat on them which could likely easily be sanded off so you could restain the chairs. Good luck!
