Are the casters suitable for hardwood floors?

They are rounded plastic, as long as they don't get to full of dirt and grit they should be ok. it would roll very well on hard wood, but if you are worried a rug or mat underneath also works well.

I am using on linoleum and it is working perfectly so I would say absolutely on hardwood. I love this chair by the way!

The packaging was damaged on arrival. The casters are inferior, flimsy. Unpacking i saw a small gray plastic piece obviously broken from somewhere. Assembled i could not find where it might have come from, but once I sat in the chair I found out. It was the tiniest part of a caster, but crucial; the caster came off right away. The chair became unstable, and unusable. And I had paid the higher price to replace a chair which likewise had bad caster. Thus I most certainly do not recommend this product.

Casters are removable but I would still recommend some type of foot or cap on the ends of the legs because they are basically pipes and would probably damage most kinds of flooring if left uncovered.

Yes , thier is a 1/2 inch hole on each foot the foot is sturdy , you could put casters on

I suppose they could, but they have a threaded shaft, designed more for bolting on machinery, such as the table saw I used them on. They are more industrial than furniture grade, but if you didn't care about the looks, they are great casters, at least so far. If you have a chair with wooden legs, you might be able to drill slightly undersized holes in the legs and tab them in with a hammer.

We are sorry but at this time we do not carry that type of caster. Thank you for your inquiry.

Yes there are wheels but you can't lock the casters so they move around a bit too easily on wood floors. Two wheels are fixed and two swivel.

Although my chair is on carpet, I'd say the casters would work well on wood floors. There are two wheels about 1/4' wide, spaced about an inch apart. When I just felt the surface, there are tiny "pimples" on the wheels which I'd assume are to make it less slippery on surfaces such as wood. But I can't say too much about the chair itself - it's the most comfortable thing I've ever sat in because there are 5 or 6 different adjustments. For the price, and after reading the other comments before I bought it, you just can't go wrong.

The casters really roll easily, I think they would be o.k. on wood floors. We use the chair on a tile floor, no scratches on the tile.

The legs have metal or plastic caps on the bottom - it slides around quite easily already. But if you really wanted casters, I'm sure you could add them if you drilled the holes first!

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.

The wheels are rubber tube. I would think they would be fine on hardwoods if they were clean. The wheels are big enough to handle a moderately rough terrain.

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.)

Yes they are. Mine are on hardwoods...have had them for about 6 months now and we love them.

Casters are built in. They don't add that much height. Love this unit, it really is awesome !

Yes, the wheels just snap on, you could use them or not. If you don't use the casters, there are caps that protect the flooring. I've had this shelf/cart for quite a while now and still love it!

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

Hello! I had this piece for a short while (had to return it as the size wasn't right for me) so I can't say for sure if casters would work, especially given the size and "curve" of the legs at the bottom. However I can say the piece is very sturdy, so that could help!
