can you attach these to casters? In other words, I would like to use it as a rolling cube open at the top

I would say not because the sides are adhered with 3M tape, not structural nails or screws. If you screwed the parts together with wood screws, perhaps, but I would look for a different product for this. The stability comes from the top.

These particular models do not support casters. Also note that "open at top" is not a recommended configuration. The backing board (which would become the bottom of the cube, in an open-at-top scenario) is not meant to support any weight (nor could it - it's more akin to a thick piece of paper than a wall). Way Basics does offer a cube that supports casters but it too is only meant for open-on-side configurations, not open-at-top. See http://www.waybasics.com/home-storage.html for those.

Hi Spring, Yes. Please note all customization is at your own risk and will void warranty. Many customers have customized, please be familiar with the product before doing so.Jimmy ChiangWay Basics, Founderjimmy@waybasics.com

You probably could do that. They are made from some material that is somewhere between particle board and paper, but very thick layered paper. They are actually extremely strong, but I'm pretty sure you could nail into them to attach wheels.

Amendment- I do remember that the backing is a thin material, so the other answer is correct, it wouldn't support that. Sorry, I didn't remember that.

It might. I did toy with that idea but I opted to use them to make sure it looked finished. You might need a cap of some kind at the end to make sure it's slides smoothly and doesn't scratch the floor if you try it without the casters. (I didn't look to closely at the foot ends before I put the casters on so I can't remember how smooth the bottom was.)

There are no casters on the legs. There is a roller in the front where the front legs attach to the main body of the machine. The roller is not useable unless the machine is folded up. The roller is quite small in diameter and is not very useful, especially if used on a rough surface. I would love to have casters on the front legs that could be locked in an up position when the machine is being used but locked in the down position so the thing could be rolled around without having to fold it up first.

Yes, the legs attach to the bottom. Depending on what you have on top of it, the weight of it may not hold up with casters however.

I am sure you could, but the casters lock so they are really ideal for movable presentations, etc.

Yes, the wheels just snap on, you could use them or not. If you don't use the casters, there are caps that protect the flooring. I've had this shelf/cart for quite a while now and still love it!

Yes, the casters just screw into the bottom of the leg, however the interior of the legs aren't filled in evenly at the bottom. It's mostly flush except for a gentle indentation of about 1/8" at the outermost edges, which means you'd need extra felt there to prevent your floor from being gouged. Otherwise, it should be no problem.

There are adjustable feet on the bottom that serve as levelers. I don't think you could put casters on these.

This question was asked on November 10, 2013, and several people responded (including me). The consensus is that either one would have to find casters that screw into the bottom of the vertical tubes in place of the supplied plastic "feet" or it would be a tricky custom job.

Yes, you have to attach the casters to the base. I'm not sure how well it would work without them, but it's possible to leave them off.

We do not provide casters for this item, nor have we tested this item for casters and do not advise adding casters to the item. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

You can do this but when welded directly to the cart you'll not be able to remove them. I welded base plates to the cart and then bolted the casters on to those.

I asked my husband just to be sure and we agree you could add casters. But a rough measure reads 7/8ths of an inch. a little smaller would fit if you can find the size. Hope that helped.

I don't know. Mine was so flimsy I threw the whole thing away...shame, I could have sent you a caster. My recommendation is to go to Home Depot or Lowes, get 4 new casters with threaded screws, carefully drill four new holes completely through, and use a washer on the top and bottom before tightening a nut on each caster.

No they cannot. They are all swivel castors without locks. But have a universal bolt pattern and can be replaced with lockable casters

There are no casters made for this file cabinet. You might be able to get universal caster and attach them to it.

The legs have screw-in feet with 1/4-inch screw diameters. There are holes in the bottom center of the legs to accommodate these screws. If you can find casters with the same size shanks, you could replace the feet with the casters.
