    Abstract: A furniture glide includes an upper portion for mounting to a furniture leg and a lower portion having a plow base. The plow base includes a lower pad segment having an outer wall that extends downwardly to a bottom sliding surface for sliding on a floor. The outer wall is substantially perpendicular to the sliding surface, forming a sharp outer edge that acts as a plow when the furniture glide is slid along the floor to push dirt or other debris out of the path of the furniture glide. In another embodiment the lower portion of the glide is a two-piece sub-assembly which includes a mounting member having vibration absorbing and/or sound deadening properties.
