CADONO Furniture Sliders, 8 Pcs 3 1/2'' Furniture Sliders Pads for Hardwood Floors, Chair Legs Floors Protectors, Reusable Round Glides Glider, Heavy Duty Furniture Movers Sliders

Why I keep a set of furniture sliders in my tool drawer

Every few months I get the itch to rework a room layout, or I need to pull an appliance away from a wall for a deep clean. The CADONO sliders have become my go-to accessory for these jobs—simple discs that turn grunting and floor worries into a manageable, one-person task. They aren’t glamorous, but they solve a real problem: moving heavy, awkward furniture without damaging hardwood and without wrenching your back.

Design and build

Each slider is a 3.5-inch round disc: hard plastic on the bottom, rubbery foam on top. The plastic provides a low-friction surface against floors or low-pile carpet; the foam cups the furniture foot and compresses just enough to “grab” it. The set includes eight sliders, which is enough for most living room rearrangements or a mix of chairs and small appliances.

The materials are basic but thoughtfully matched. The hard plastic glides smoothly, and the foam has enough density to hold shape under load while still conforming to different foot shapes—round or square legs, and even flat-bottomed furniture feet. They’re not adhesive pads; they’re meant to be placed temporarily and reused.

Setup and ease of use

Using them is straightforward:

• Sweep or vacuum where you’ll be sliding to avoid grit scratching floors.
• Tilt or slightly lift a corner of the furniture and slip a slider under each foot, foam side up.
• On hardwood or tile, place the plastic side down; on low-pile carpet, the same orientation works.

The 3.5-inch diameter is a sensible middle ground for most furniture. It’s easy to position them by hand without needing levers or pry bars, and they sit flush enough that furniture doesn’t feel precariously perched. For larger pieces like sectionals, having eight discs makes it easy to double up under broader feet or edges.

Performance on hardwood and tile

On sealed hardwood, these glide as promised. I tested them under a three-seat sofa, solid wood bookshelf, and a dining table. Once the weight settled into the foam, I could push and steer the load without the “stick-slip” you feel with felt pads. The movement is controlled—not slick like ice, but steady, which is exactly what I want around walls and door frames.

I paid attention to floor protection, and with reasonable care (clean floor, no debris under the sliders), I didn’t see scuffs or hairline scratches. The hard plastic base is smooth, and the rounded edge helps it ride over minor transitions, like the lip of a floor register or the edge of a rug. For crossing thresholds or uneven tile grout lines, you’ll still need to go slowly and guide each foot.

Performance on low-pile carpet

Low-pile carpet is where a lot of sliders feel mushy. These handled it better than expected. Under a coffee table and under dining chairs, the plastic base reduced drag enough that a gentle push got things moving. They’re not magic on medium or shag carpet, but on the low-pile stuff you find in apartments and home offices, I could nudge a loaded bookshelf and reposition it without a helper.

For long-term use under chairs on carpet, these work as semi-permanent coasters if you want easier movement during daily use. Just be aware that because the foam compresses, the chair may settle slightly into the slider, which can change the feel when sitting down.

Appliances and heavier loads

The CADONO sliders are sturdier than their simple look suggests. Under a stacked washer-dryer and a standard gas range, I could pull each unit forward for cleaning and slide them back into place without wrestling. The foam compresses under heavier loads, which actually helps with stability: the foot nests into a shallow “cup,” reducing the chance of slipping off as you pivot.

One note of common sense: don’t leave sliders under appliances that vibrate heavily in normal operation, and be cautious around gas and water lines. I only kept the sliders in place for the duration of the move and removed them once each appliance was back in position. During test cycles, I didn’t see drift, but long-term vibration is a different scenario.

Stability and control

Movement is predictable. The foam top grips furniture feet well enough that the slider doesn’t shoot out if you hit a small obstacle; the load stays centered. With very narrow or oddly shaped legs, I had better results placing two sliders side by side or positioning the leg closer to center, not on the edge. With wide flat-bottomed furniture, the 3.5-inch diameter is adequate, but borderline for oversized feet—larger discs would distribute weight better in those cases.

Durability and maintenance

After multiple room swaps and a few appliance moves, the sliders show light cosmetic wear on the plastic base but no structural issues. The foam top rebounds after compression and doesn’t tear easily. The most noticeable wear appears when grit gets trapped underneath; that can scuff the plastic and reduce glide. A quick wipe before use helps a lot. I wouldn’t drag them across concrete or outdoor surfaces, and I’d avoid rolling heavy loads over sharp thresholds.

They’re reusable by design. I store them nested in a zip bag to keep dust off the foam, and they’ve held up fine.

Where they fall short

• Size can be limiting for very large or oddly shaped feet. At 3.5 inches, they cover most furniture, but heavy wardrobe bases or oversized appliance feet benefit from a bigger disc.
• High-pile carpet isn’t their strong suit. They’ll still reduce friction, but effort rises significantly.
• Not a substitute for permanent floor glides. If you want chairs to slide daily on hardwood, dedicated felt or Teflon glides are quieter and lower-profile.

None of these are dealbreakers, but they are worth noting if your use case is outside the “household furniture on hard surfaces or low-pile carpet” sweet spot.

Tips for better results

• Clean floors first to prevent micro-scratching and to maximize smooth glide.
• Use all eight sliders for large items; extra points of contact distribute weight and prevent edges from digging in.
• For bulky items, push low and close to the center of mass to avoid tipping.
• On tight turns, reposition the sliders at the pivot points rather than trying to skid everything at once.
• Remove sliders after moving appliances that vibrate, and always check clearances around hoses and lines.

Value

An eight-pack covers most scenarios in a typical home: sofa, chair set, coffee table, plus a couple of spares. The cost-saving versus hiring help or risking floor refinishing is obvious, and because they’re reusable, you buy them once and keep them on hand. You don’t need a specialized slider for hardwood versus carpet here—the same set handles both.

The bottom line

The CADONO sliders do exactly what I want from a utility tool: reduce effort, protect floors, and disappear into a drawer until the next project. They’re easy to deploy, sturdy enough for legitimate heavy furniture and appliances, and versatile across hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpet. The 3.5-inch size won’t cover every edge case, and they won’t transform deep carpet into a skating rink, but for everyday rearranging and cleaning access, they’ve been reliably helpful.

Recommendation: I recommend these sliders for anyone who moves furniture solo or needs occasional access behind appliances. They strike a smart balance of glide and control, protect floors when used with basic care, and hold up to repeated use. If you frequently move oversized pieces or work on higher-pile carpet, consider supplementing with a larger-diameter set—but for most households, this set earns its keep.
