Are the wheels supposed to roll? I've read that some squeak, and that they don't swivel, but do they roll?

They do roll and squeak some, but its not annoying. I have two in my house, they are pretty rugged as my girls are pretty rough with them.

Yes, the front wheel swivels, the rear wheels do not. I can stand in one place and do a 360' turn. So, the answer is "yes"!

Yes, I do. At first I thought it was just a pesky piece of styrofoam stuck in one of the wheels, but after removing that it still squeaks. Only when I'm making forward strides though, not backwards. I haven't yet determined the cause or solution.

You have the option to let the front wheel swivel or not. There is a latch on the front wheel to keep it stationary or to let it pivot for easy maneuverability.

They appear to be a hard rubber wheel. The cart has worked well so far, but the only thing you can't do is flip up the bottom support without the wheels folding. They are connected and once the wheels unfold, so does the bottom support. It's not really a problem, but something to mention.

The wheels are simple, they rotate quite smoothly but do not swivel from left to right.

yes they roll fine but the ones on the end often need to be straightened by hand in order to get the table to roll...they do not swivel freely on their own

I have not had that problem and it does not appear that, that will be issue. I do have one issue with rolling. The locks on the wheels often slip down and lock themselves, causing the chair not to roll properly (as it should being locked). I just unlock them. It happens once or so a day. It doesn't really bother me.

They rotate but not easily. On my wood floors the wheels just slide since it's plastic and has little friction.

Two of the wheels lock. They will still spin if you bump the table, however. I had a problem with the other two wheels rolling when I was using the table, but solved it by putting a small cardboard wedge underneath each wheel.

The wheels are plastic, I think but have never had a problem rolling over tile or carpet. Swivels well. Love it.

My furniture doesn't have wheels but I would think they would keep the furniture stable as long as they fit into the cup. My furniture doesn't move at all. They serve the purpose I needed for my hardwood floors. I hope this helps.

They are supposed to move. However, with both of the ones I bought, they "tried" to move, but didn't. When I say they "tried" to move, they moved slightly, and I could hear some of the mechanics inside grinding. I have yet to take them apart and see if I can fix them. It was disappointing to see this problem in two of them; it implies quality control issues.

They do not have ball bearing wheels. They are snap on wheels but check your local academy store if you have one in your area. My local store has the same cart for $30

Yes the front wheels do swivel. The brakes worked well and you get instructions to adjust them if needed. It was one of the best investments I have made since I have very bad knees.

The wheels are rather hard to install. I used the palm of my hand to install them and it took several tries to get this done. When the first one went in I said to myself well these really do go with this machine. I do believe that once you get them installed you won't have to worry about them ever comming out. I have mine on carpeting and it rolls well. Good luck and have a great day. Mike Hutson

The two front wheels swivel all the way around. Whether you are using it as a rollator or a transport chair, the same two wheels are in front. Having the rear two wheels statically mounted (no swivel or turn) adds to it's stability when rolling. The wheels have molded plastic hubs and good rubber "tires".
