How Do You Make Dining Chairs Slide on Carpet?

Dining chairs stick on carpet because narrow legs sink into the pile and fibres bunch against the leading edge. The fix is smooth glides that spread weight across a wider contact area, not felt pads, which grip the pile and make the problem worse. This guide explains why chairs catch, compares nylon cups, wide flat discs, nail in metal domes and adhesive pads across cut pile and loop pile carpet, and sets out how to fit them without splitting a leg. It also looks at sled and cantilever frames that barely sink at all, when a hard floor protector mat is the more sensible answer, and how carpet changes the way a whole dining area behaves....
