Scope and common interpretation errors
For small everyday equipment, without guaranteeing no slip on every surface.
Texture, residue and contact area affect initial motion. Incline or a high push point may cause tipping before sliding.
Turn the review into recorded checks
| Step | Action and evidence |
|---|---|
| 1 · Select representative surfaces | Collect actual or similar surfaces and record clean and expected contamination conditions. |
| 2 · Fix load and direction | Define push location, speed and unit orientation, distinguishing breakaway from sustained sliding. |
| 3 · Review stability | Check foot adhesion, base warping and tipping alongside friction. |
A comparison to avoid misinterpretation
Retain separate references for matte and glossy desks if behavior differs. The most favorable surface cannot establish suitability for all uses.
Frequently asked question
Are tackier feet always better for grip?
They may collect dust, mark surfaces or peel away.
