Manufacturer’s product description
The Gunninguffer product from the Moinkerin brand consists of 120 rubber buffers for protecting furniture or walls.
This self-adhesive rubber pad offers a practical solution for protecting and stabilizing various pieces of furniture. The integrated transparent rubber pad has high viscosity, allowing it to be easily attached to tables, desks, railings, cabinets, or other furniture that needs protection or cushioning. Made of soft silica gel , the rubber pad is highly flexible, providing effective protection against impacts and damage. It can be attached to the bottom or sides of boxes, vases, and other items to prevent scratches and damage. In addition, the transparent rubber pad acts as a buffer and seal: it prevents accidental slipping and damage while also serving as a seal for picture frames or artwork to ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is also ideal for use on chair, table, and desk legs to protect the floor from scratches. Application is straightforward: the transparent tape of the rubber pad is simply stuck to the desired location without leaving any residue. The easy tear-off allows for quick and clean attachment, making it particularly convenient to use .
In practical tests, the rubber pads impressed with their ease of use and design, which made them virtually invisible .
Advantages
- Protection and stabilization of furniture
- High viscosity
- Barely visible
Disadvantages
- Two pieces of the buffer did not stick very well

When you pick up the rubber buffers for the first time, you notice their unobtrusive design and even workmanship.
Based on the design, it can be assumed that the buffers will be barely visible after use.
The surface of the buffers feels rubbery, slightly soft, yet generally firm. They give the impression that they can cushion impacts and pressure well.
When the adhesive film is removed, it quickly becomes apparent that the pads have good adhesive strength , suggesting that they are durable and long-lasting.

This product was subjected to thorough practical testing .
In terms of adhesion to various surfaces and slip resistance, it was found that the rubber buffers are very secure after application and do not slip. During the practical test, they remained in place even after pressure was applied to smoother surfaces.
The rubber buffers can be easily wiped with a damp or wet cloth and cleaned regularly.
Only immediately after unpacking was a slight smell of rubber noticeable on the rubber buffers. However, the smell dissipated after a very short time.
When the rubber buffers were removed, it was found that they could be easily removed from the surface to which they were attached without leaving any residue .
Overall, the product performed well in practical testing thanks to its easy application and unobtrusive transparent design, which makes it virtually invisible .
