Abstract
A glide assembly that can be selectively inserted into a variety of furniture items, including chairs, to protect the user from undesirable sound and vibration upon movement, and to protect the floor surface in contact with the furniture item. In some embodiments, the glide may include a surface floor contact member and a dampener isolator made from materials with noise and vibration reduction characteristics. Each of the components may further include ribbed members to facilitate attachment to the furniture leg. Each of the glide components may further include flanges on an end so that components are not lost upon insertion.
