Hi - I bought this and I'm very pleased. However, I'm using it on hardwood and need to change the casters for safety. Are they available? Thanks.

Unfortunately, we do not sell replacement parts for this chair. It is made by the manufacturer Alvin. You should be able to do a search on Amazon and find out who does carry replacement casters. Thank you.

You put the caster wheels on yourself - they do not come already assembled. So, if you don't want the casters just save them in case you change your mind. This stool is comfortable and awesome!

You can remove the casters, but they are fastened by screws on the outsides of the legs. You might be able to use wood filler and stain the area to match.

The casters, any other wheels for this matter, are not good to wheel about on carpets. I use mine on wooden floor. On carpets, I get those thick transparent plastic sort of rug under desk. If you don't protect your rug carpet, it will soon get ruined. Besides wheeling about, on carpet, becomes annoying. I hope this gives you an informed decision.

I don't have hardwood floors but the casters are hard plastic so they would be friendly.

Yes, you can use casters that slips under the feet. I checked after I wrote that first.

You have to measure the stem diameter of the current caster. I did that and fit perfectly. I had 3 destroyed by movers.

Not without some modification. The casters are drilled into the leg of the chair; the casters could possibly be removed; however, if you did that, you would need to do something to the bottom of the leg. In my opinion, it might weaken the integrity of the bottom of the leg. I woudn't do it. These chairs are extremely well constructed.

I'm that person. First I just drilled holes in the base and attached the bolt-on casters. But because the base has a slight cone shape to it the casters kept breaking. So I cut a round piece of plywood, fitted it inside the base flange and then put the bolt-on casters on. Been good ever since. You could try the push in casters but there's nothing to hold them unless you add plywood. Probably best to use the bolt-ons.

I do not believe you can use casters. There is hard rubber on the bottom of the metal posts. I just bought a pack of peel and stick felt sliders. I used them on all my furniture. They work great.

First choice, contact the company from which you bought the casters. This will not be the first time that they have heard this lament. If they're cool, they may just send you a replacement. Worst case, they sell you a packet of (4) sockets. Second choice, go online and search for sellers that offer sockets. I did this once and was able to find a seller that offered both caster kits and standalone socket packets. Can't remember the name of this seller. Since the range of caster types and sizes is quite broad, it may be a long shot that a hardware or home improvement store would have your specific socket in stock.

Correction to my answer: The casters account for 4 inches of the height. I am assuming the casters could be removed if you want a lower height and don't want to move it around.

The casters I received did not have locks. Also, when I stacked two ArtBin cubes together (securing with the dowel sticks as recommended by the manufacturer) and installed the casters, the unit was unstable on carpeted floors. It is fine on hard floors.

I wouldn't advise adding casters. It's not the best quality wood and I would be surprised if you could install casters that would stay on it.

No. The casters broke on mine and I cannot find any replacements. Don't buy the chair.

The caster wheels are detachable. You can opt not to install them or to uninstall them if they're already on.

...if u can find the appropriate replacement then sure. The casters are nice quality and don't think they would scratch. Having legs that don't roll might scratch the floor even more? Or just glue the casters so that they can't roll...
