My Commercial

I bought the coolest things this week.  I have no idea what they’re called, but you really need some.  Everyone needs some.  These go right up there with the special jack-o-lantern carving knives and the Christmas light checker.  And if you’re getting ready to move, like I am, this is way more important than either of those things.  (Though they’ll have their moment to shine again…but those moments are both months and miles away.)

These things are round discs with a smooth bottom, filled with a dense rubber.  I cannot tell you what they’re called, but I can supply you with a picture.

What, you may ask, is the function of these curious things?  Are they small weighted frisbees?  And I would tell you, Nay.  For what use would a woman about to move have for small weighted frisbees???

They are for moving furniture.  You put one of them under each corner/leg of your piece of furniture, and what was previously unmovable (except for by Hercules) you can now push with one pinky finger. 

Seriously amazing.

You can see them right here under this chest, normally heavy and unwieldy.  But using my small weighted frisbees (sorry, I was getting tired of calling them things) the chest moved effortlessly.

I was able to move all sorts of things by myself that normally I could hardly move with someone’s help!  Now it is true that four of my small weighted frisbees are currently stuck under the entertainment center…because while I could move it into it’s new location, I could not remove them by myself.  But hey, the package had 8 so it’s not like those can’t live there for a few days until someone helps me remove them, right?!?

Run, do not walk, to Home Depot and buy yourself some things.  Small weighted frisbees.  Whatever you want to call them.  And then call me and tell me all about the fun you’ve had moving your furniture all over your house.

 

PS—The package specifically said not for use on hard wood floors.  I am pretty sure there would be a way to use them, combined with cleaning rags, and both move your furniture and buff your floors at the same time.

PPS—because I do have some reputation to uphold as the queen of Google, I exercised my talent and can now tell you that this product is sold under different names: EZ Moves (sorry, sounds a little like a medical product I don’t want to get better acquainted with) or furniture sliders.  Home Depot does not admit to selling them on their website, but they did have them in their brick & mortar store. 

PPPS—it is quite clearly time for me to take myself to bed…

PPPPS—if you can’t find your small weighted frisbees, check to see which things in your home are moving more than they normally do.
