1. A method of fabricating a furniture glide, comprising the steps of:
providing a furniture engaging layer having first and second surfaces;
positioning a slide adjacent to the second surface of the furniture engaging layer, the slide fabricated from a meltable material and having a configuration; and
heating the slide with a heating element so as to cause a portion of the meltable material to melt and flow into the furniture engaging layer;
wherein:
the configuration of the slide changes in response to the heating of the slide such that a recess is formed in the slide which corresponds in shape to a surface of the heating element; and
solidification of the portion of meltable material in the furniture engaging layer bonds the slide to the furniture engaging layer.
