A couple of months in - product falling apart – These were difficult to get on and after only a couple of months, we have splits in the silicon and the felts are coming off - not worth the expense. Show details
I ordered 5 packets and received 5 free pkts of Ruby Sliders. They arrived fairly quickly. These sliders are great on my dining chairs. The slide perfectly on my limestone floor. I bought smaller size and use hairdryer to warm them a little and… Read more · 1
make them easy to put on my chair legs. They last for 2 years plus at which point a few may need replacing. I highly recommend these Ruby sliders. I had trouble placing my order as computers were down and ordered by ringing directly to Global Shop Direct and paying on the phone.
Follow-up · Ruby Sliders glide on floor. Absolutely no noise. I’ve been using them for almost three years. My dining chairs have a slope at chair leg bottom and as long as you buy slightly smaller size and warm up with hairdryer they can be fitted over chair legs with a little effort. I became very quick at doing this. I also have them on my kitchen stools,… Read more
I wish I didn't buy these – Bought them for all my chairs and with in a few weeks the red part came off some. Some split. Did not protect my new cork flooring as the chairs have now left dents in floors. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a law suit against this company. I am now replacing with black rubber ones that are far cheaper and better quality.

Scratchless floor now – These sliders are great. Easy to attach to chair legs. Not noticeable at all. Very pleased with them. In fact bought extra sets for bedroom chests and casual chairs so floors will not get scratched. Chairs now slide across the floors. Show details

Positive reviews
So much better! – Since putting these on the chairs, they glide across the floor. The only issue is that the front and rear legs on the chairs are different sizes so I have had to try and pad the front legs so they fit. Show details
Completely satisfied! – My dining room chairs have a square base on the legs so I was sceptical about the sliders working effectively. I had no reason to worry...the sliders adhere to the legs and slide effortlessly across the floor. I am very happy with the product. Show details
Great – These are so good. I have bought some others, cheaper but of no use at all. They stuck to the floor making it dangerous when sliding the chair out. These slide easily and last 10 times longer at least. Show details
Negative reviews
Ruby Sliders Chinese Rubbish – I purchased 2 pks from the post office and had no trouble Fitting them to my timber chairs. Concept is good, but in no time sides perished, split and fell of. I tried another lot with the same result. I don't know what product all the other reviews are talking about. I am totally disappointed with the product. Show details
Rubbish – These sliders wear out within 1-2 years of use under dining room chairs on polished wood floors. They also seem to be difficult to slide whenever humidity is up. They are complete rubbish. Suggest replace with felt tip pads which work much better, last a long time and are much cheaper. Show details
No good for kitchen chairs – Agree with other reviews. On kitchen chairs which are moved frequently and carry significant weight, the felt pads come off after a few days. May be OK on light furniture that is seldom moved but then, what is the point?

Only last 12 months!! – Purchased 27/1/23 and over the last couple of months they are disintegrating! Loved them to start as it was so much easier to pull heavy chairs out from the table, on tiled floors. But they are now falling off the chair legs as the clear silicone that grips the chair leg is falling apart! Would have expected then to last more than a year! Show details

DON'T BUY THEM - JUST A WASTE OF MONEY – I bought a packet of ruby gliders from the post office. They were genuine. Red coloured felt with the insigna "Rudy gliders". Then I bought a second packet from health and pride. They were not the genuine ones. Black coloured fel with no insigna on the felt. Both packets were incredibly difficult to open the packet. The second pack the… Read more
plastic around the glider split on two of them as I was putting them on a chair. It says on the packet that they can even be put on beds. No way would they fit on a bed. Very bad product. Would not buy again. This was a total waste of money. There are better products on the market. In my opinion I would not recommend those ruby gliders.
Not good on kitchen chairs – These don’t hold up well at all and I don’t have package or receipt as I thought it would be great. They fell off, ripped and are horrible. If on stationery places, they’re probably fine. Ours was on kitchen chairs with daily use. Show details
Hi Debbie, that is very strange. Where did you purchase them from?
absolute false advertising – the packet clearly claims " Premium felt base wont fall off " I bought two packets to use on my deck chairs and almost half of the red felt bases fell off within days. absolute rubbish Show details
Ruby sliders – I have purchased Ruby sliders for both my indoor & outside dining chairs & have also purchased a pack of spares to have on hand. I'm really happy with them & with the reliable service from Global Shop Direct.
Ruby Red Little rippers!!! – They are great. Chairs glide over our slate floor now. No more scratch marks. Wish I could have had them years ago. Flexibility to fit a range of chair leg sizes is fantastic. Show details
saved a whole lotta floor scratching – The Ruby Sliders is something we were looking for to save our floors from being scratched & marked & found these just what we needed. I would recommend them to my friends.
I've been searching for a solution for our kitchen counter chairs for years, and this is IT! – After years of trying different solutions to the problem of the legs on our kitchen counter chairs being noisy and annoying on our tile floor I finally found Ruby Sliders. Fitting was SO easy. Remove the old screw in hard rubber feet from the chairs, wipe the surface over so that it's clean, slip the Ruby Sliders onto the chair legs and the job is… Read more
done.
The chairs now move easily and quietly.
Best of all my wife loves them, and as we all know Happy Wife = Happy Life!
I've also told friends about them.
Absolutely useless – The Ruby sliders don't fit the legs of my colonial legged chairs they are far too big. They keep falling off and their NOT glide friendly. Waste of money. I rang customer service and they said because I bought them from the post office and not through them I couldn't get a refund Show details
Little disappointed – Sadly Ruby sliders say fit 'most' chairs....I have 3 sets of different style chairs, 1 square and 2 sets of different sized round legs, and they only fit one set. The larger square legs. So watch the sizing. Show details
Hi Sue, Ruby Sliders are now available in two sizes - we have a smaller one for thinner chair legs
