A round glide on a square leg leaves the four corners exposed — the exact points where damage is worst. Square nail-on furniture glides cover every corner, edge to edge. The PA6 needle-punched fiber surface glides silently across smooth hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone. The zinc-plated tubular rivet with anti-rotation mortise locks into solid wood and prevents the glide from spinning off-axis. 5 sizes from 23 × 23 mm to 75 × 75 mm. Available in multiples of 4.

Square nail-on furniture glides for hard floors provide full corner-to-corner protection for square wooden furniture legs on smooth hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone. A round glide on a square leg leaves 21.5% of the contact area unprotected — the four corners where floor damage is worst. These square nail-on furniture glides cover every corner edge to edge. The PA6 needle-punched sliding surface (1,450 g/m² pile density) moves silently across every smooth hard floor type and outlasts cheap felt pads by years under daily use.
5 sizes from 23 × 23 mm to 75 × 75 mm. 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.
Square nail-on furniture glides for hard floors are available in five sizes to match the actual base of the leg. The glide should match the leg as closely as possible — oversized glides overhang and catch on floor transitions, undersized glides leave the leg corners exposed to scratch and gouge.

The most common mistake when buying square nail-on furniture glides for hard floors is assuming both sides are the same length. Many “square” legs are actually slightly rectangular — one side longer than the other by a few millimeters. That mismatch means exposed corners and uneven contact with the floor. Take 30 seconds to measure before you order.
Lay it on its side or flip it upside down. You need clear access to the base of each leg where the square nail-on furniture glide will sit.
Use a steel rule or calipers. Measure across both sides of the leg base independently. If the two measurements differ by more than 3 mm, the leg is rectangular — use rectangular nail-on furniture glides instead.
Select the square nail-on furniture glide whose range includes your measurement. When a measurement falls exactly on a boundary (e.g., 38 mm), choose the larger size for full corner coverage.
Installation takes under a minute per leg. No pre-drilling required on any hardwood, MDF, or softwood species. Corner alignment during installation is critical — the anti-rotation mortise locks after the rivet is seated.
These square 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 square 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 square 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 square nail-on furniture glides survive the lateral shear forces that destroy cheap felt pads: there’s no adhesive layer to weaken, no compressed layers to separate under load.
On square legs, corner compression is the first failure point for cheap felt. The four corners bear disproportionate load, crushing the felt flat and packing grit into the horizontal layers. PA6’s vertical fiber orientation and 1,450 g/m² density distribute compression evenly across the full square surface — including the high-stress corners where felt fails first. 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 wide rivet head is injection-molded directly into the ABS platform with an anti-rotation mortise — one structurally integrated unit that cannot spin on the rivet axis. On square nail-on furniture glides, rotation prevention is critical: even a few degrees of spin exposes an unprotected corner to the floor.
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.
Cheap felt pads compress flat within weeks on square legs. The four corners concentrate weight into sharp pressure points that crush the horizontal fiber layers. Grit collects between the delaminating layers and acts as fine sandpaper — scratching your floor at exactly the four points where damage is worst.
PA6 square 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 corner compression without crushing. 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 square leg leaves 21.5% of the contact area unprotected — the four corners. Those corners are the sharpest edges on the furniture and create the deepest scratches when they contact the floor directly. The corners also bear the highest load concentration.
Square nail-on furniture glides cover every corner, every edge, and every millimeter of the leg base. The anti-rotation mortise on these square nail-on furniture glides for hard floors keeps the corners aligned with the leg for the life of the product — a round glide on a square leg provides no rotational benefit because every orientation is equivalent.
Use square nail-on furniture glides when the legs are solid wood and the furniture moves frequently. The mechanical fixing provides the strongest possible connection between glide and leg under repeated lateral load, and the glide is replaceable in the same hole without leaving residue.
Use square 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.
Square 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 31 sizes from 20 × 20 mm to 300 × 300 mm — a much wider range than the five glide sizes — making them the right choice when exact size matching matters or when glides aren’t available in the size you need.
Glides are the stronger option for high-use furniture like dining chairs that move hundreds of times a day. The ABS platform provides structural rigidity and even weight distribution across all four corners, and the mechanical rivet or EHBF foam tape provides a more robust connection than mesh adhesive alone. For furniture that moves less frequently — tables, bookcases, cabinets — pads provide excellent protection with a simpler peel-and-stick installation.
Square 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 square nail-on furniture glides for hard floors moves quietly across hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone with minimal effort. The standard choice for dining chairs, kitchen seating, and accent furniture where ease of movement is the priority.
NR+CR (Natural Rubber + Neoprene) at 30 Shore A provides controlled grip across the full square footprint — including all four corners. Furniture stays exactly where it’s placed. Use these for restaurant tables, boat cabin furniture, RV seating, or any environment where an unexpected slide is a safety hazard.
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 square leg leaves the corners unprotected and rocks under load. 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. The square nail-on furniture glides range covers 23 / 28 / 38 / 50 / 75 mm.
For oblong legs with unequal sides — the characteristic profile of mid-century modern and Scandinavian furniture design.
Dining chairs, kitchen chairs, tables, bar stools, bookcases, benches, and any wooden furniture with square legs on smooth hard floors. Square legs are common on Shaker, mission, farmhouse, and Arts & Crafts style furniture. The 28 × 28 mm and 38 × 38 mm sizes cover the majority of residential dining chairs with square legs.
Restaurant dining chairs, hotel room furniture, conference room seating, school and classroom chairs, healthcare facility seating, and event venue furniture. Square nail-on furniture glides for hard floors are the preferred choice in commercial environments — the anti-rotation mortise prevents the corner misalignment that high-traffic furniture experiences, and mechanical fastening provides the strongest, most reliable connection between glide and leg. 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 square-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 square furniture legs that can’t accept a nail-on fitting.
