We want to add a swivel base to recliners in our RV &amp; they have to be moved when we are traveling. Do the little feet make it hard to move on carpet?

I am very satisfied with my swivel base because it is relatively easy to move but does not move around when you are rocking.

I've found that the hard sliders work well on short-nap carpet, less well on long carpets like "shag". I purchased these for some bar stools on ceramic tile floor, and of course they work fine there. I have experience moving heavy furniture on carpet, and found that the hard sliders are usually a big help, depending on the length of the fibers in the carpet. The shorter the carpet, the better they work.

I have mine in a carpeted room, but bought some of those Teflon furniture sliders to go under the wheels/feet. Now it slides across the carpet fairly easy (although it's still heavy). Just be sure to get the big/wide sliders to make it easier.

We move it around on the hard wood. I am being careful when our daughter (25lbs) is in the chair to make sure not to scratch the floor, which I think would not happen anyway. I just don't want to risk it. When the chair is empty, it is super easy to move around without even lifting the back side (no wheels in the back). If you have a carpet floor, you will need to use the wheels only. They work fine, you would not need to pick the chair up. We still like the chair a lot and she does not mind sitting in it when eating.

I think you have the wrong person. I just got the recliner swivel. It was very nice.....stilling using it.

I think I can say yes even on my carpet.But it wriggles a lot when I type on my keyboard.If your com is heavy... I sternly recommend you to go with more expensive one or desk that does not have rollable feature.I think the four rolls on the bottom cause this wriggle.I will try to take them away and place direct on the carpet.But eventually I will use rollable feature quite often for I need to move around my mac for late night job.Hope this could be help to you

Amanda, the base does slide on our hardwood floor, and a little on the carpet in the rocking position. My Grandson is 13 months and blind, we bought this for him because of the seat to hold him in. He absolutely loves it and just this week has figured out how to make it talk and sign. We still have it in the rocking position but think it won't be long until we switch it to the steady position.

Yes, they are quite heavy and should settle into thicker carpet nicely. If you are worried about divots in the carpet, I would suggest getting some small furniture sliders to put under the feet.

We've had ours for over a year and not had the issue of sliding around on carpet. I will say, though, that my little guy tends to bounce up and down rather than "rock", so that may be part of the difference. We have gotten a ton of use out of it and he has finally outgrown it. Would highly recommend to others.

I have carpet and tile in my kitchen, so the chair does not slide well. The feet are plastic. I plan to look for a small slider that I can glue on to the bottom of the chair. Without protection on the bottom, I would not use them on a hard wood floor. I am sure the chair would scratch the floor. Perhaps Flash Furniture could answer that question for you. Otherwise, I am very happy with my two chairs.

Mine is not retractable; however, it doesn't seem to be a problem. I love this little "gem". It is so lightweight and easy to maneuver in tight spots. Great for hard surface floors but was not intended for carpet.

The chair sort of slides to recline, with the seat sliding forward and the back tilting a bit. It's not like the mechanisms on chairs with the footrests that raise and lower by pulling a handle or pushing a button. However if someone would stick their finger in the sliding parts while they are moving I'm sure it would hurt them so best to keep an eye on kids and pets and not let them crawl under the chair.

It seems to roll a little slow on carpet, if a child learning to walk that's perfect because you want it to go slow. An toddler will have no problem on carpet, my granddaughter zooms around everywhere!!!

It definitely rocks when it's partially reclined (foot rest up, back slightly reclined). I've never tried rocking when it's fully reclined. It swivels in every position.

The swivel you don't need a locm for it's the reclining you may need that feature for. There IS a knob on the side but I believe that's for the reclining feature. To me it doesn't do anything really.

Absolutely!! The only ones that don't slide easily for me are those on my large chest of drawers that are sitting in the grooves left before I put the sliders on; but it only takes a bit of shifting, then I can slide the chest anywhere. These are the best furniture sliders for carpet.

It would be very diffcult to move. Carpet would be bad, very small wheels. Hardwood or tile would be a little better, but not much. You cannot use the slider to move from side to side, it will bend to pin that holds it in place. All that said, it is great exercise machine if left in one place. I use it every day.
