We already know that IFSCO Industries, Inc. is one of the few places you can find midcentury furniture leg ferrules and vintage vinyl to repair your retro dinette sets, but the company also makes many varieties chair glides. Company president Tim Kasper tells me they have been manufacturing glides for vintage dinette chairs, tables and other furniture in house since 1946. He also let me in on a little secret — the company has a stash of NOS chair glides that they produced in house over the last 20-40 years. If you have a vintage dinette set that is missing some chair feet, try contacting IFSCO Industries, Inc. to see if they have a match.
You can also look in IFSCO’s online catalog of furniture parts to get an idea of the parts and sizes available.

Just chiming in with another resource…for those that may have one near you, I’ve found a lot of my vintage furniture parts at Nuts and Bolts (more of a speciality branch of Ace Hardware). They have drawers of little footies and plastic pieces, fasteners and metal parts not found up on the racks. Some stores have an abundant selection, others, not so much. I recommend looking through the drawers yourself though because, in my experience, the person working there has no idea what’s actually in the drawers when it comes to furniture parts.

Hello, i am searching for the round storage tray that belongs underneath kitchen table set. I am also searching for parts to my lawn chair and glider set I’ve recently acquired. It needs a spring for one side on the glider, i also need the arm covers to several arms on chairs and glider. I may need more parts, but lets start with those first. Thank you
pam kueber says
Hi Maria, I have not researched these topics, so can’t point you in any direction. Start googling, I’d say…

Check the resources in this story Kevin, those are all of the places (besides Ebay) that we know of to find replacement glides.

Oh my how I love Reto Renovation!

Roberta says
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have looked for a long time for what I find is known as a “Floor Saver Siamese Sockette” for my 60-year-old dinette. This company even has the “Spherettes” that I need for my vintage aluminum patio table.
What a great day this is.
pam kueber says
You’re welcome. This makes us very happy, too!
Nanci says
I, too, have been looking for replacement glides for 1970’s metal ice cream chairs. I scrolled through the catalog not expecting to see them, and there they were, called simease sockets! I’ll have to unearth the chairs and measure. I believe the table has the same feet. Thank you!
pam kueber says
Yup, this was a good one to finally discover! Woot!
