Abstract
A support for an article of furniture is readily interchangeable between having a glide exposed to the ground and a caster exposed to the ground with the glide being stored within a shroud. The furniture remains level in either embodiment since the total length of the support will stay the same. Minor adjustments in the length of the support are made by rotating the shroud.
