The Moving Men sliders are very simple, but have proven to be quite effective. You simply tilt up whatever you're trying to move and slip these sliders under each corner of the unit. You can then slide the item much more easily. These can be a great help, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
All these do is make things easier to slide. If you need to carry something up or down stairs, these sliders won't help you.
While these sliders will help to make anything easier to slide, heavy objects will still be harder to slide than lighter objects. In fact, I recently moved a very heavy armoire with these sliders. Even with the Moving Men in place, the armoire was still VERY hard to slide, and that's with two big men pushing and pulling. Don't get me wrong, the unit would have been IMPOSSIBLE to slide without these, just don't expect the sliders to make everything feather-light.
Speaking of heavy, if an item is too heavy for you to tip, then you won't be able to get the sliders underneath it. Again, the Moving Men wouldn't help you much.
When sliding an object across a scratchable surface, I'd suggest sweeping the area first. This will help to prevent the sliders from dragging dirt or grit along with them. While the sliders, themselves, shouldn't scratch your floor, anything stuck under the sliders could.
When moving an object up against a wall (a dresser, for example), make sure to position the sliders so that they just barely stick out from the back of the furniture. If you place the back sliders right in the middle of the back corners, then you won't be able to get very close to the wall (as the sliders will bump into the wall before your furniture does).
I haven't had an occasion to use the small sliders, but I could see them being handy for moving something with smaller legs, like a four-legged kitchen table.
