When glides become old and worn, like anything else they can
stop doing their job properly. The point of glides is to protect the hard edge
of a chair or table from doing damage to the floor. It can also make it easier
to move the item without leaving a mark, and can be better than wheels as it
creates some resistance against accidental moving. Replacement glides are the best
for remedying the situation before it has the chance to cause expensive
problems.
Make replacement glides a priority
Glides balance the weight evenly between the feet. When
these break, the item can wobble or mark the floor, and the additional stress
of the extra weight on the remaining legs could also cause structural damage to
the unit. Although it may only seem like a small part, the glide is preventing
much worse things from happening, so replacement glides should be the
first priority.
