Default Any recommendations for good quality furniture glides?

The sideboard is quite lightweight but the TV increases this quite a
bit. I've seen mixed reviews about the quality and prices of furniture
glides that are suitable for use on short pile carpet and hope someone
with experience can recommend suitable ones.
My experience with castors for this kind of job has shown them to be a
bit juddery at times.

Have you thought of wall mounting the TV - my 50" is on a bracket,
fixed to the wall. The folding bracket allows the TV to be pushed tight
against the wall, or pulled out around 18" at full extension.

I had my previous TV on a similar heavy duty bracket.
This method wouldn't let me get enough rotation.
I'm also a bit concerned about the suitability of the wall for such
purposes. If the bracket would extend far enough to allow the TV to
rotate to where it's required, there would be a lot of leverage on the
wall fixings.

If it's a concrete block/brick wall then the brackets come with fixings that do the job.
If it's timber/studwall /insulating blocks then modifications have to be made but still possible.


The TV is 55" measured diagonally. It will need to be pulled out
almost at right angles to the wall. The bracket would have to extend a
long way to provide the rotation needed, without the inner side of the
TV jamming on the wall.


Why can't it go on the wall opposite your settee ?. Or is your
settee in the best place ?.
