Switching to replaceable chair leg covers was the right move | Sustena+

*This article contains advertisements.

Hello, I'm Ako (@llattehome).

Have you ever been bothered by the sound of your dining chair scraping against the floor when you pull it out?

I've tried slip-on and adhesive types of chair leg covers, but they would come off easily or feel like they were catching every time I moved the chair.
I just couldn't find anything that felt quite right.

The chair leg covers I found on Rakuten, called "Sustena," solved those problems for me.

I had been a long-time fan of the original product, but since it has been renewed as "Sustena+" with a replaceable design, I decided to purchase it again.

I was satisfied with the previous type, but it has become easier to use and more eco-friendly by being replaceable, so I'm going to write about that today.

▼ I'm also introducing it on Instagram, so please take a look if you're interested.

Replacing the original product was a hassle

Since I started using Sustena, I've been satisfied with how smoothly the chairs move.

However, there was one thing that bothered me.
When it wore out and needed replacing, peeling it off the chair leg was a bit of a struggle.

Because it was firmly fixed with adhesive tape and needles, it took some strength to peel off. And since there were needles, I had to be careful not to prick my fingers when removing it.

I had a vague feeling that I wished it were easier to replace.

With Sustena+, you can just replace the tip

What makes the new Sustena+ different from the previous version is that you can replace only the worn-out tip part.

You leave the base as it is and just snap the new part on.
No tools required.

Since removing it was the only tedious part, I am truly grateful for this improvement.

Slider or wool, which one should you choose?

Sustena+ is available in two types: slider (fluorine-coated) and wool (wool felt).

I chose the slider type.

The advantage of wool is that it is less likely to scratch the floor, but I was concerned about dust sticking to it, so I went with the slider.

I have been using the slider type until now, and I haven't found any scratches caused by the chair legs.

Of course, I think wool would protect the floor even better.

So, it might be best to choose wool for quietness, or sliders for smooth movement.

It was just the right time for a replacement, so I actually installed them.

The conventional sliders I am currently using have worn down, so I will replace them with these new Sustena+ ones.

With Sustena+, the base stays in place, and you only need to buy the replacement parts (1,100 yen), so there is no more hassle of peeling off the base.

The installation method is simple.
Just peel off the double-sided tape on the insertion surface of the main unit and push the pin into the tip of the chair leg..

The key is to push them in firmly one by one while applying your body weight.
This is what it looks like after installation.

After that, it will adhere firmly while you are sitting.

If you are a Rakuten user, I recommend purchasing on Rakuten.

At the time I purchased them, the price was the same on Rakuten and Yahoo Shopping.
They are a bit more expensive on Amazon.

It is more cost-effective to purchase from the site you usually use, either Rakuten Ichiba or Yahoo Shopping, as you can also earn points.
