Abstract
The free end of each leg of a chair, desk, or table has a glide member secured thereto for resiliently distributing at least the neutral weight of the furniture onto a floor. The glide has a base for contacting the floor and a rivet assembly engaging the chair leg. A cup-like urethane cushion is located between the rivet assembly and the base for transferring the chair load resiliently, thereby deflecting the cushion in the vertical direction commensurate with the load. In alternative embodiments, the cushion is augmented or replaced by a coil spring. Thus, each glide adjusts individually for leveling the piece of furniture.
