Hello everyone,
I plan to place some of my KALLAX units, which are mainly loaded with heavy contents, on a tiled floor. I’m wondering if there are appropriate glides or protective devices that help move the units without scratching the floor while also supporting the weight. I am particularly interested in models or solutions designed specifically for heavy loads, as some regular felt pads have worn out quickly or even slipped in my experience.
Does anyone have experience with suitable glides that are sturdy enough and stay in place on tiled floors? Are there perhaps combinations of glides or self-adhesive products that have proven reliable? Any tips on what to look for when purchasing would be appreciated. I would be grateful for any specific product recommendations or personal experiences!

And don’t worry about the appearance, the pads are often barely visible but highly effective!
