Let me start out by saying these end caps are virtually identical to the OEM caps that came installed on the furniture, that is what I was looking for. I would have liked them to be a little thicker in the surface that wears but, that would have made them even more difficult to install – see below.Installation was a learning experience and I am posting this review primarily to help others learn from my efforts. I read with interest all the reviews about the end caps and techniques to install – prying in with screwdrivers, squeezing in with channel lock pliers, beating in with a hammer and a block of wood. I tried each and every one with limited success. What worked for me the best was to buy a 99 cent worm screw clamp at a hardware store (auto parts store would be fine) that would open to 1-1/2 inches, place the end cap in the worm screw clamp and tighten it down until the edge of the end cap were deformed smaller and drop the worm screw clamp and end cap assembly in very hot water and leave it in there for 3-5 minutes. I then fished it out of the cup of hot water with a screw driver (be careful, it is HOT, I wore gloves), immediately remove the end cap from the clamp (be careful it’s still HOT), placed it into the recessed area of the furniture where it belongs and pressed it in/down firmly/hard, light tapping with the hammer if required. If it doesn’t pop right in, flip the furniture over so the end cap is on the floor, lining up the end cap with the recess and but weigh on that leg of the piece of furniture. A few times I had to re-clamp and re-heat the end cap and try again. This method worked well for me and I installed 16 end caps fairly quickly. I would buy again, it is what originally was installed on the furniture, installation will go much quicker next time, no more rust stains on the floor.
