This product was subjected to a thorough practical test.
The felt glides were easy to attach and had good adhesive strength.
With regard to slip resistance under load, it was found that the furniture retained its stability after the felt glides were attached and did not slip even under load. Attaching the felt glides had no negative impact on the stability of the furniture.
The scratch test revealed that the glides are well cushioned and do not leave any damage or scratches on surfaces.
The resistance to moisture was tested with a damp cleaning cloth. Here, the felt glides remained robust and did not detach from the furniture.
In terms of load-bearing capacity under different types of furniture, it was found that this product is suitable for both lighter pieces of furniture such as chairs and heavier furniture such as sofas.
In the practical test, this product was particularly convincing due to its good adhesive strength and its noise-damping effect.
