has any one inserted glides to these chairs? I tried but the protection pads with self adhesive glue doesn't work.

I have not tried....but, with the bottoms being so rounded, it wouldn't seem necessary to me, and I have hardwood floors!! We always lifted our chairs out from us, as we got up, instead of sliding, anyway....sorry!!

I use them on the legs. They have to be replaced at times. I just keep a package of gliders on hand. The sturdy chairs are worth it. The glue on the pads isn't really sufficient. It's the pads not the chairs in my case. Hope this helps some.

They tend to be slippery for me and I am in my seventies. To fix this I bouught several very cheap throw rugs from walmart and lay the pads on top of these rugs. Works perfectly.

No, but my one suggestion would be to add wood glue as you put in the screws. My chairs are a little wobbly now, and I wish I had done that.

I do the same thing and my cushions never slide. They are pretty big and immobile.

There are plastic coasters on ours and then we put the felt glue-on on top of those. Also, not sure if the plastic coasters were on when purchased or if we put those on too. Purchased a year ago and no problems with them.

To amend my last answer, there is a Youtube video about installing these glides. Just search 'accuride'

hi Bahr they are tight I used a rubber mallit& or just press hard & use alachoal so it will slide easer.

I would say that these pads are meant for protection, not for sliding (however, I have not tried to slide with them :)

This has never happened with any of the chairs I ordered. Seems weird that Lex Mod could not send needed screws. They seem a reliable company and I have had no problems with them OR Amazon for that matter

I haven't tried. They seem to be so very fragile. If you try it let us know what happened. Judie Johnson

I assume after you replace pads, they may not stay in as well as you may have to utilize the same hole (depending how wide is the leg). You can always add some glue. Personally I don't have any problems with them yet. I have put them on a year ago and still look like new. Please note that I am using furniture on wood floors and there is not opportunity to drag furniture against carpets, etc... which put additional friction and may rip them off.

I don't find it heavy as much as I do awkward to handle. I usually grab the back of the seat and drag it across the carpet in a bumpy way. i found some straight furnature gliders at the hardware store and stuck them on for an easier glide. After I got tile on floor I'd put a towel under the back leg, tilt the back of chair down and glide it into place. It works ok for me because I only use it once a month and store it in the garage in between. If you plan to take it from place to place this one is not that kind of portable.

They will definitely not 'slide' on carpet; however, it is doubtful that the felt will come off. In your case, I would just use these on the two legs that are on the hardwood floor and see how that works for you. For the two legs on the carpeted area, you may want to place non-felt pads such as sliders to make the chairs easier to move without lifting.

Judith, these back cushions are not intuitively designed. They are not as big as the picture suggests once you have them installed. Simply join the velcro together once you have pushed it through the slats on the back of the chair. You will have to bend the cushion to fit. Personally, I love the look of the chair but the cushions are a joke. I had some new ones custom made.

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.

I used nylon zip ties (cable ties); they've done the job just fine. These seats are light-weight, you can slide the entire set-up around even after connecting them. One other thing, I saw some comments about how the cushions slide off easily--and they do. I got some non-slip kitchen shelf liner, cut a square to go under each cushion, and that's worked quite well.

The best thing to do if you worry about floors, is buy some self-adhesive felt pads to attack to the bottoms of the chairs and table.I have a wooden floor and used the felt pads. Easy to move and leaves no damage.
