Abstract
A surface protection device and a method for mounting the same on a terminal end of a furniture leg are provided. The surface protection device is defined by a furniture glide including a furniture glide base having an upper surface directable towards the terminal end of the furniture leg and a lower surface interconnected by an outer periphery. A fastener extends from the furniture glide base along an axis and has a first end and a second end receivable in the terminal end of the furniture leg for frictionally connecting the furniture glide base to the furniture leg. A cup has an outer surface and an inner surface defining a cavity for receiving the furniture glide base therein. Matted material is molded into the outer surface of the cup.
