Will the wheels ruin real hard wood floors? The tree is around 200 lbs

I'm not sure about hard wood floors? I use it on tiled floors and it's fine. i don't think it would hurt the hard wood. My plant is about 200 lbs as well. i recommend it highly.

Hi Lori... If you're planning to be moving your 200 lb plant around a lot, I would consider changing out the casters for those meant for hard floors... namely, rubber clad or felt clad casters. Google "hard floor casters" for choices, and match the caster stem size (width/length). Occasional rolling should not be a problem. Hope this is helpful...

Sorry....I never weighed my tree! However, it rolls around on my cement lanai!

Wheels are large wheels, and they will run on concrete and SMOOTH hardwood floors. As a buyer, your chore is to ensure the product you ar buying meets your wants, needs, and desires. 200 lbs is a lot of weight for a plant, and I suspect your plant is a tree. I buy many products from Amazon, but I do shop in my town. Buying in my town is fast, but buying from Amazon is cheaper. About the only thing I buy from local stores is my business clothing.

I'd say about ten 6-8" logs (logs at the thickest part). The frame may hold the weight, the tires are of concern to me. They're cheap and stinky tires (we've had ours for over a year now and is pretty well aired, but get your nose close and you can still smell a creosote type smell). The wheel axel is a sloppy fit for the bearings. Wouldn't count on that big a haul if you're dealing with stairs.

none that i see, but there is a lot of hard rubber between the wood leg & the floor. you should be good for a long time.

We have wood floors too. It has rubber traction on the bottom of the wheels so it helps to not let it out from under the kids. It pushes just fine on carpet as well

It may leave a strip imprint (temporarily after use), from the force of your body pressing against the roller, but nothing damaging the roots of the carpet. In terms of the wood floor, I wouldn't roll on soft woods such as maple/brazillian cherry, since they are easily scratched and dented.

The wheel has a firm rubber-like surface that meets the floor. I don't think it is pure rubber, nor would I expect pure rubber to hold up as well under the weigh of my shop router, and other workstations. They are well made.

Realized when I answered your question that I didn't not mention the wheels. If you are going to buy this and put on a wood floor, the wheels should be upgraded to rubber wheels so they don't scratch the floor. We got nice ones at Rockler.com

From the Bookholder Company (the manufacturer) - NO, it cannot. The pole attaches underneath that base, therefore it does not sit flat and would also ruin your floor. It must be used with the wheels.

Yes the smaller front wheel should be off the ground. You need a flat, smooth surface to ride. My daughter can go pretty fast on our hard wood floors. We have a foot of snow outside so she has not gone outside with it yet. Hope that helped.

I do not have any wood floors.But I looked at the underside of the unit. It has the two large wheels in the rear, which have what appears to be a soft rubber replaceable tread (like a thin tire tread) on the outer part of the wheel. Those wheels should be fine. The front part of the unit slides on a thin plastic type strip which also appears to be replaceable. I would guess that as long as you do not have any gravel or small hard items that the plastic strip would push along in front of it, you would probably be OK.

We have hard wood floors and haven't ha a problem with this stroller on ours. My opinion would be that it is safe for hard wood floors.

The wheels are hard and designed to take a beating on sidewalks/roads. I strongly believe your wood floor will have marks you will see in dark floors or mar the sheen. Also, make sure to get a Swivel Car with the original "Black Wheels" not the cheaper cars with ones that look like they are adding Grey scooter wheels. These Grey wheels are slightly slimmer and the wheels will come out of the White holders on each side of the rear. You will soon have a toy with missing parts.

Yes the wheels are safe as they are made of a soft rubber but I would advise against buying this for a child that resides in a home under 1100 square feet as it is of decent size.

These wheels are hard rubber but I haven't had any problems with our hardwood floors.

I believe it would still scratch the hardwood floor. The wheels screw into a metal base inside the bars. However, you may be able to file down or have covered.

I am using the chair on ceramic tile. However, in my opinion, the wheels would not damage a hardwood floor. Maybe, you can get a hands-on answer from someone with hardwood flooring.
