My furniture has the 1/2 inch plastic caps on the bottom of the furniture. Should I stick on or use superglue given its a slippery surface?

I wouldn't use glue because eventually the felt surface will wear down and you'll want to replace them. If they're on with superglue, you might have more difficulty removing them and it might leave residue on the plastic cap. I suggest you clean the plastic cap thoroughly, let it dry, then stick these on with their own adhesive. For me, that's usually been enough when I'm applying them to plastic.

I was told by my hardwood floor installers that I should pry off the plastic caps, then attach these pads. Otherwise, they will come off.

The piece for the top of the clamp is wide enough and has some foam/rubber attached. I put a block of wood about 3" wide, 10-12" long, and about 3/4" deep on the underside. I glued a piece of foam from the craft store to the glass-facing side. It worked really well. What I meant to say was attach the rubber to the block to stop/reduce slippage and to avoid scratching the desk.

Thank you to those who have responded as they have provided great insight for you. Generally the smooth hard plastic tips does not cause any problems for the reasons stated (it is in the center of 3 inch long fibers, there are fibers in front of it. Although not needed, if additional protection is desired a gummed piece of felt, such as used with furniture feet, can be added. FYI - There is a greater concern if the tip was not there as the plastic tip actually is covering the sharp cut ends of the twisted metal spine. In the rare situation that the tip falls off, protecting the end with a couple layers of duct tape works great. Thank you to those who have responded as they have provided great insight for you.

I used the arm-R-Seal on all the bedroom furniture I built. I tried the Gel Top Coat & it did not have a smooth looking finish. I also used Java Gel Stain on all the same furniture with all positive results.

We used crazy glue and a clamp. Have been in place with no problem for a year or so. Good luck.

I had to make sure the surface is super clean and nonporous. That's why we ended up using it on the highchair with its molded plastic tray. It doesn't work on our dining room table surface even though it's very smooth because of the wood grain. I also have to make sure there is absolutely nothing - not dust, sticky fingerprints, nothing - stuck to the suction cup.

I used Goo Gone but watch how hard you rub. If you have wood veneer finish, it may take it off too.

Read the directions and/or call the company. I would not use it on wood furniture personally. I use it for stainless steel only.

We had plastic on the bottom, but we removed it before putting these on. Can you remove the plastic to get to the wood? Not sure it would hold well even if it went through plastic.

The adhesive is not very strong so it won't damage your wood furniture. The problem is because the adhesive isn't very strong we are constantly having to push the kushion back in place because it keeps peeling off.

It seems to smooth on the non sticky side for that. I think the laptop would slide on it nearly as easily as on your laptop table. I agree with the other poster about getting adhesive backed rubber pads. Those work great for slippage.

Hi Nora, Thank you for your question and your interest in Roving Cove Safe Corner Cushions. If your counter is 2 inches from top to bottom, the best thing to do is to use one cushion on the top of the corner and one cushion on the bottom. Please refer to the blog post on our website, "How To Install and Remove Furniture Guards" at www [dot] mayapplebaby [dot] com or just google that title to find the blog post. There is are instructions and diagrams and a photo of the bottom placement of the cushion. You might also be interested in edge guards as well to cover the counter's edge: http://www.amazon.com/Roving-Cove-x00AE-Corner-Cushion/dp/B00FG6G7XM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409520695&sr=8-1&keywords=best+edge+guards Hope this helped. Thanks again! Mark Mayapple Baby / Roving Cove

Mine were on VERY tight, I ended up using a butterknife to pry the edges away so it would slide. My thumbs hurt, but we were finally able to move the screw caps.

Great point! I have a Logitech Ultrathin Illuminated Backlit Keyboard, which has rubber non-skid pads built in. This prevents sliding. If your keyboard has none, I am sure you can purchase stick-on pads for yours at a local hardware store. The benefits of a large mousepad are worth the "user modification" of your keyboard, in my humble opinion! I hope this helps.

I have never had a problem with stickiness when using this product. It looks like feels like satin once it is thoroughly rubbed in the wood.

Yes they will slip if you only use a few. The more you use the less they slip. Also anchoring the corners with weights or furniture is helpful.

I am using them to hold the glass from a glass topped table attached to the table frame. They are very small so I am not sure how they can prevent furniture from scratching.
