Will it still look good if you don't use the casters?

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.)

Sure but it wouldn't move at all - you'd have to pick it up to move around. If you tried to slide you may scrape your flooring. You would also be a good 10" shorter.

Leaving the casters off would not make it 10 inches shorter! The casters are probably 2 or 2.5inches in diameter so that is all you would loose in height.

It would definitely be shorter but the seat is adjustable anyway and can go up quite high so that shouldn't matter. But you would require some type of cap so not to scratch floors. It would work but I myself like the more finished look of the casters.

I don't know what casters are, but we've had the condo for many months, and it doesn't sag. If you need to move it, pull or push from the bottom, though; if you pull from the top, the bars start to come out of the notches. But it's fine if you move it from the bottom. We've been really happy with it overall.

it is good sized and heavy and thus i do not think casters would work. if you place in right place in your kitchen, you might not need to move it around. the only thing i will say after using it, the granite on top is very porous, already stained it by setting a glass on it and by setting a hot pan on a bamboo placemat. not sure if we sealed it first with the granite sealer, if it would be more durable.

Yes. Removing the casters will reduce the height by 11/16" (0.67 in) (1.8 cm).

yes, the casters just go into a hole in the bottom of the leg..just leave them off. But here is a tip, the are pretty well made casters, so you may want to keep them around for a future project, they could save you money down the road.

You might need to contact john boos to find out. When I look at it, I don't think casters will work.

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.

Yes the casters are the same as in the picture. I don't know which model is the sturdiest, or if it the same. Sorry

No caster's, but I bet you could get some from Lowes. Great idea, I think I'll try that too.

I have tile floors, so I decided to wait. It slides easily enough without casters. But if you choose to have then, look on the Powell kitchen website and they sell them separately.

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.

I would think so. The casters just pop in, so you could just leave them off and then just put on some of those tape-backed felt pads they sell at the hardware store.

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.

I'm sorry but I never had to, they were perfect out of the box for our waiting room. Going on 3 years now and they are still going strong. Hope that helps but we never added casters.

Thanks much for your detailed response was very helpful, I have found some very small ultra low profiles casters-I think- biggest concern is the structure/frame material...my understanding is the sides are made of wood and not MDF as MDF would cause serious concerns due to its lack of lateral strength compared to wood. Thanks again

Yes, it can be assembled with or without the casters without compromising any utility.

There are two pieces of wood on the front that add to the design. I believe if you will enlarge picture and see a small piece of wood that is under the main piece but if the casters found are special....it is doable.
