Rectangular legs need rectangular glides. A round or square glide on an oblong leg leaves the long edges exposed to scratch your floor. These rectangular nail-on furniture glides match the 33 × 19 mm footprint of mid-century modern and Scandinavian chair legs edge to edge, end to end. PA6 needle-punched fiber surface glides silently across smooth hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone. Zinc-plated tubular rivet with anti-rotation mortise. Available in multiples of 4.

Rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors are the correct solution for oblong and rectangular wooden furniture legs on smooth hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone. Round and square glides leave the long edges of rectangular legs exposed — the exact edges that generate the most damaging scratches when furniture moves. These rectangular nail-on furniture glides match the elongated footprint edge to edge, end to end. The PA6 needle-punched sliding surface (1,450 g/m² pile density) handles the concentrated shear forces that rectangular contact surfaces generate along the long axis, and outlasts cheap felt pads by years under daily use.
Available in 33 × 19 mm (1.30″ × 0.75″). Available in multiples of 4. The zinc-plated tubular rivet with anti-rotation mortise drives into solid wood with a rubber mallet — no pre-drilling, no prep. Hard floor and anti-slip variants available. For wooden furniture legs only.
Rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors are available in one size designed to fit the standard oblong leg profile found on mid-century modern, Scandinavian, and contemporary furniture designs.
For legs 33–40 × 19–25 mm
Mid-century chairs, modern dining, Scandinavian designs
Need a larger rectangular size? Rectangular self-adhesive furniture pads are available in over 100 sizes across 6 width groups, with lengths up to 300 mm and strips up to 510 mm. For bulk orders and commercial fit-outs, visit Business Solutions.
Rectangular legs have two different measurements — length and width. Both must fall within the glide’s fit range for proper coverage. A glide that matches the length but not the width will overhang on the short sides and catch on floor transitions. Measure both dimensions before ordering.
Lay it on its side or flip it upside down. You need clear access to the base of each leg where the rectangular nail-on furniture glide will sit.
Use a steel rule or calipers. Measure the long side and the short side of the leg base independently. The 33 × 19 mm rectangular nail-on furniture glide fits legs approximately 33–40 mm long × 19–25 mm wide.
If both measurements fall within the 33–40 × 19–25 mm range, this rectangular nail-on furniture glide is the correct choice. If the leg is larger, use rectangular self-adhesive furniture pads in the matching size.
Installation takes under a minute per leg. No pre-drilling required on any hardwood, MDF, or softwood species. Long-axis alignment during installation is critical — the anti-rotation mortise locks after the rivet is seated.
These rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors use a chemically inert PA6 surface that does not react to floor sealers, waxes, or cleaning solutions. The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) recommends placing protective glides on all furniture legs as a primary measure for maintaining hardwood floor condition — the PA6 needle-punched surface on these rectangular nail-on furniture glides meets that standard across every smooth hard floor type. For a full overview of hard floor types and their care requirements, The Spruce’s hard flooring guide provides a useful reference for matching protection to surface.
Every component in these rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors is specified for a particular engineering reason. PA6 polyamide belongs to the family of high-performance engineering polymers — the same material class used in mechanical bearings and gears for its combination of low friction, high wear resistance, and dimensional stability.
1,450 g/m² pile density. PA6 fibers are forced through the base material by thousands of barbed needles during manufacturing — each fiber is mechanically interlocked, not glued. This is what makes PA6 rectangular nail-on furniture glides survive the concentrated shear forces that oblong contact surfaces generate: there’s no adhesive layer to weaken, no compressed layers to separate under load.
Rectangular legs produce asymmetric lateral forces during movement — higher shear along the long axis, lower across the short axis. Cheap felt pads fail along the long edges first because the horizontal fibers shear apart under this directional loading. PA6’s vertical fiber orientation handles asymmetric shear without directional weakness. The NWFA’s hardwood floor maintenance guidelines cite abrasion from degraded furniture glides as one of the leading causes of preventable hardwood floor finish damage.
The rivet’s razor-sharp tubular edge separates wood fibers rather than removing them. The entry hole closes back when the rivet is removed — unlike a plain nail hole, which widens with every movement and replacement.
The anti-rotation mortise is especially critical on rectangular nail-on furniture glides. Asymmetric loading on oblong legs creates rotational torque — forces that try to spin the glide around the rivet axis. Even a few degrees of rotation on a rectangular glide dramatically reduces effective contact area and exposes the long edges to the floor. The mortise eliminates this failure mode entirely.
The rigid platform that carries both the PA6 surface and the rivet. ABS is the same engineering-grade thermoplastic used in automotive interiors and electronics housings — not the commodity plastic in cheap glides that age-crack within a year under sustained load. The rectangular platform distributes the furniture’s weight across the full elongated footprint.
Rectangular legs concentrate shear forces along the long axis — the worst possible loading pattern for cheap felt. The horizontal fibers shear apart along the long edges first, the felt compresses flat at the ends where weight is concentrated, and grit collects between the delaminating layers. Within weeks, the felt is acting as fine sandpaper along two parallel scratching surfaces.
PA6 rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors have no adhesive layer between fibers: they are mechanically interlocked by needle-punching and cannot separate. The vertical fiber orientation handles the directional shear that rectangular contact surfaces generate. And the mechanical rivet keeps the glide attached to the leg for years — cheap felt peels off in weeks.
A round glide inscribed inside a rectangular leg leaves the two long edges completely unprotected — the exact edges that generate the most damaging scratches on hard floors. A square glide oversized to cover the length leaves the short sides overhanging, catching on floor transitions and creating an uneven pivot point.
Rectangular nail-on furniture glides match the leg profile exactly: full coverage along the long axis, full width across the short axis. No exposed edges, no overhang, no compromise.
Cutting a round or square glide to fit a rectangular leg leaves raw, unfinished edges where fibers are severed and exposed. Those cut edges fray, collect grit, and provide no protection at the perimeter — the exact zone where the leg contacts the floor during lateral movement.
These rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors are precision-cut to exact dimensions with clean, factory-finished edges. Every edge is sealed. Every fiber is intact.
Use rectangular nail-on furniture glides when the legs are solid wood and the furniture moves frequently. The mechanical fixing provides the strongest possible connection under the concentrated shear forces that rectangular contact surfaces produce.
Use rectangular self-adhesive furniture glides when the legs are metal, plastic, or hollow — anywhere a rivet has no wood to drive into. Both use the same PA6 surface and ABS platform.
Rectangular self-adhesive furniture pads use the same PA6 needle-punched surface but without the ABS platform and rivet assembly. They attach directly to the leg base with EHBT fiberglass mesh adhesive tape. Pads are available in over 100 rectangular sizes across 6 width groups with lengths up to 300 mm and strips up to 510 mm — a vastly wider range than the single 33 × 19 mm glide size.
If your rectangular leg is larger than 40 × 25 mm, pads are your only option — glides aren’t available in larger rectangular sizes. For legs that fit the 33 × 19 mm glide, the ABS platform and mechanical rivet provide a stronger, more rigid connection for high-use furniture like dining chairs. For furniture that moves less frequently — tables, cabinets, display pieces — pads provide excellent protection with a simpler peel-and-stick installation.
Rectangular nail-on furniture glides come in two surface variants. The right choice depends on how the furniture is used — not the floor type.
For furniture that is regularly repositioned. The low-friction PA6 surface on these rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors moves quietly across hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone with minimal effort. The standard choice for mid-century dining chairs and contemporary seating where ease of movement is the priority.
NR+CR (Natural Rubber + Neoprene) at 30 Shore A provides controlled grip across the full rectangular footprint. Furniture stays exactly where it’s placed. Use these for mid-century accent furniture, display pieces, or any environment where rectangular-legged furniture must hold position on smooth hard floors.
Both variants use the same ABS platform and ZnFe tubular rivet with anti-rotation mortise. Only the sliding surface differs.
Nail-on furniture glide shape must match the leg cross-section exactly. A round glide on a rectangular leg leaves the long edges unprotected. A square glide overhangs on the short sides. Measure the base before ordering.
For circular cross-section legs — turned, tapered, and cylindrical. Ø 23 / 28 / 38 / 50 / 75 mm.
For equal-sided square legs — Shaker, mission, farmhouse, and contemporary designs. 23 / 28 / 38 / 50 / 75 mm.
For oblong legs with unequal sides — the characteristic profile of mid-century modern and Scandinavian furniture design. 33 × 19 mm.
Mid-century modern dining chairs, Scandinavian designs, contemporary furniture with oblong legs on smooth hard floors. The 33 × 19 mm format is the standard for the tapered rectangular legs found on iconic mid-century chair designs and their modern reproductions. Also fits many contemporary accent chairs and side tables with rectangular leg profiles.
Restaurants, hotels, and offices with mid-century or contemporary wooden dining and guest seating. Rectangular nail-on furniture glides for hard floors are the preferred choice in commercial environments where furniture experiences heavy daily use — mechanical fastening provides the strongest, most reliable connection between glide and leg, and the anti-rotation mortise prevents the asymmetric misalignment that high-traffic rectangular legs experience. Available in bulk quantities for fit-outs and large-scale installations.
Identical ABS platform and ZnFe rivet with anti-rotation mortise. NR+CR rubber surface instead of PA6 — for rectangular-legged furniture that must hold position on hardwood, tile, or polished concrete.
Same PA6 sliding surface. EHBF adhesive backing instead of rivet — for metal, plastic, or hollow rectangular furniture legs and sled frames that can’t accept a nail-on fitting.
