Can you remove the caster wheels to stabilize the cart?

Haven't tried it but two caster wheels have a lock on them, and if placed against the wall or in a corner, it's VERY stable. Solid as a rock. Especially after you've put some stuff on it.

I never considered doing this as we had no problems with the cart and often moved it around our kitchen. I personally loved this cart. It was so functional and useful.

Sure. Just as the first reviewer answered. By the way, two wheels can be locked to make the cart stable.

Sure, just put something under the legs so that it won't scratch or leave other marks on the floor. Its a wonderful piece!

Maybe if you remove the wheels. It's a sturdy cart, but not a steady cart. Moving a big TV around might be problematic.

No. No wheels falling off here. Of course, ours is so loaded up with stuff I don't think we've ever lifted it.We pull the cart in and out of our pantry daily. No issues with the wheels getting stuck in grout lines (tile floor) or swiveling around entrance door/wall of pantry.

Although I haven't done so, I don't see why not. Putting the wheels on is a separate step of the assembly, so I'd imagine you could just eliminate that step. I need my carts to be on wheels, so I did put them on. Hope this helps.

The wheels could be taken off since you have to put them on when you assemble the cart. However, this really isn't necessary since the wheels lock. I have been using my cart for years now and it has never moved (wheels are locked) and still looks like the day I got it. It is a very sturdy cart, lots of great storage!

You attach the wheels, so they can be removed / not attached. I would recommend it, the legs did not have a nice finish on the bottom.The wheels can be locked in place too, there is a turn-key on each wheel so you can lock the individually. Don't really need to, it is very heavy and does not roll by itswlf

there is a bracket that controls the angle of the handle. Lift that up and the cart folds in half. The wheels also come off to gain some extra storage room.

The wheels do not come out if the unit is picked up. The castors actually "snap" in place when pushed hard enough. I don't know if the castors can be removed.

The casters can be removed. But I would replace them with some kind of pad.

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

Hi Allison! I would say that if you wanted to keep the cart stationary, you could do without attaching the wheels. It would make it a couple of inches shorter.... I like the wheels as then I can roll it around my kitchen to suit my needs. The wheels do lock on one side, so this keeps it in place if necessary.

Unless the wheels can be locked it's unlikely. Even then the furniture/wheels would possibly shift or move within the casters thus defeating the purpose of the casters keeping the furniture in place. If it's possible the best approach would be to remove the wheels. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, you can remove the holders. This is an excellent cart and is extremely durable. You will be happy you bought it. We love ours.

I just checked. The are clearly not designed to be removed but can be. The wheels are the normal type casters seen on office stuff like filing cabinets or bins. The wheels attached to a metal plate about 1" square which appears to slide/snap into place on the plastic case. I'm sure with a little effort you can easily remove them--I didn't try. BTW, I find the SPT to be amazingly effective--I live in a motorhome and the humidity was creating problems with our cabinets till I started using it. Also discovered how much more comfortable it is with it running.

The metal holders at the middle of the cart pull right out and they actually come detached from the cart. The plastic cups at the bottom of the cart are riveted onto the cart so you would have to drill out the rivets to remove them.

Yes. It looks like there are four screws on each caster, that can be taken off, but they came pre-installed.

The grill is attached to the cart when you put it together, but you could remove it with a screwdriver if you desired.
