Customer Review: Man's second best friend
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an 8 foot pool table with 1" slate. It weighs between 6 and 7 hundred pounds and doesn't get used as much as it did at first.The pool table sits on a berber type carpet.I was trying to figure out a way to move it closer to the wall for more room when not in use, but it is impossible to move by myself. After seeing these on Amazon I thought I would give them a try.I used a floor jack to lift one end of the table, then carefully positioned the larger disc under each leg with the original shims in between the bottom of the leg and the disc to keep it level.I then did the other end and checked the table to see if it was still sitting solid on the floor and it was.Finally I pushed on one end of the table at a time to move it off to the side and it worked better than I expected.I'm not sure how the other brands would work but the Moving Men definitely worked better than my expectations. I would highly recommend this product.Customer Review: Didn't work at all.

A number of months ago I put some hard black plastic sliders under my sofa so that we could easily slide it over to our small flat panel monitor for "movie night" and then slide it back. Well, my wife wanted sliders under the dining room table too, and since the black ones went with the table I put them under the table legs, and then I put these so called "moving men" sliders undert the sofa legs to replace the hard black plasic ones I had moved to the dining room table.
Surprise! The sofa doesn't slide any more. Not one bit. It seems that the plastic these are made of is way thinner and more flexible than the ones they replaced. These are actually just slightly bigger than the ones they replaced, so I think it's a fair comparison.
Anyway, I've got to find more of those shiney hard black sliders. These are useless unless under really light furniture I suppose.

I had a massive wall unit to move. It is tall, awkward and heavy. The idea of moving it with a friend who had a weak back didn't sound promising. After reading some of the reviews for this product I purchased it. The wall unit breaks down to three sections with the ends weighing 100lbs and the center weighing 300lbs. I slid four large discs under each corner of one of the ends and pulled with a 90 degree twisting motion to the left then to the right. It moved with ease. When I reached a doorway, I needed to tilt it. I simply allowed the top to lower towards me while maintaining contact with two of the large pads. Again I slid with the left-right motion and easily cleared the doorway. At that point I returned the unit to the upright position, returned the two other large pads and positioned near the wall. I had equal success with the 300lb center. I was truly amazed.Customer Review: Makes rearranging furniture easy

My husband told me we would never be able to move our living room furniture, since we have a very heavy 32-inch TV. But it was incredibly easy with the moving men. The hardest part was getting them underneath the entertainment center; that involved him lifting each corner and me wedging a moving man into place. Once that was done, we (he) moved it easily- and keep in mind the entire entertainment center is at least 300 pounds. We have carpet, and I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with tile or hardwood floor.
We keep two of the moving men permanently underneath the entertainment center (in the back where they can't be seen) so that the next time I want to move furniture around will be easy. That still leaves me with two of the large moving men and four smaller ones to move other furniture around. It's a great buy.
Customer Review: Works Great!! Going to buy another set!

I've seen their infocommercials in the past and they seem to do wonders in their demo. A little skeptical at first, but for about 5 bucks, it's not a big risk so I bought them. All I can say is WOW. I have my 100lbs tv on top of my huge and heavy wooden cabinet and I wanted to move it about 2 feet. I'm too lazy to take everything off and move stuff (and risk hurting my back) so I slip these under(with help) and pulled. The whole thing began to slide with relative ease!!!
The only downside is, you will need another person to help you slip these things under if the object is heavy, but I'm not complaining. I saved so much time and effort with these. In the end I just kept the product in place because I was too lazy to slide it back out :D Hense I'm going to get another set...
