ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable slide for supporting furniture being moved on common floor coverings is described. The slide, large relative to a furniture leg, comprises an inflexible slide cup of slippery material in contact with the floor covering which evenly distributes weight of the furniture over a broad area to minimize pressure on the floor covering. The slide further comprises a replaceable and reusable resilient slide cup insert fitted to the slide cup that has a flat upper surface which collapses around a furniture leg placed thereon, providing resistance to sliding of the leg on the insert. The resilient slide cup is made of closed-cell rubber that does not accumulate furniture damaging moisture and, with its increased density, provides better support of furniture than does sponge rubber. A second replaceable and reusable slide cup insert is provided, also fitted to the slide cup and with a flat upper surface, that is rigid for supporting furniture without legs while distributing furniture weight evenly to the floor contact area of the slide cup.
