Is the rubber on the wheels suitable for indoor use? I have laminate flooring I don't want to get scratched up.

Absolutely! Your own two feet are more likely to scratch up a floor before these casters. Safe for any kind of flooring/surface.

I'm Afraid NOT ... I ordered these to help me solve the issue of not being able to move around here in my home office, which was carpeted with 1/2" pile carpet. These wheels made very little or no difference. Mobility is important to me (now that I'm disabled) so I gave up and had hardwood flooring installed here in the office. Now I have to buy 4 different wheels (the soft rubber kind) as these are too hard for my new floor and will scratch it (as told to me by the flooring people and verified by several office supply stores). So, the short answer is NO. Sorry, I ,too, was looking for an inexpensive solution, but it didn't workout. I'm Afraid NOT ...

I don't see why not, but the wheels are small and don't get in the way. You might scratch the floor if you don't use them. What is your reason for not wanting to use the wheels?

If you want to use it indoors you will need a space big enough for it to rotate all the way around without hitting anything. Also, I move mine around the yard periodically because the wheel under each seat starts to wear a circular pattern in the grass. I would imagine it would wear a similar pattern in carpet. If you have a cement floor it probably isn't a concern. Hope that helps.

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.

I would say since they are clear would be ok for indoor use/ also should be fine outside but of course they would not last long.. LOL I used these wheels to make a PVC Rollercoaster For the kids at our Vacation bible school two summers ago. This was the hit of the year, check out youtube PVC rollercoaster test pilot. LOL

I have hardwood floors, the wheels are duel plastic type but I have my chair on a plastic floor mat because I think any wheels will wear enough to damage a floor be it hard wood or linoleum type floor .

I doubt it will scratch the floor since there is a plastic protection ring on the bottom. I assume its there for a reason.

I would say yes. The wheels are good material, high quality and can be used indoors and outdoors.

The corners are roughand yes, they will scratch hardwood floors if you do not have a mat or something similar under it. The rest if the frame is smooth.

Wheels are small so this is not an All Terrain Vehicle. Best used indoors or on smooth level surfaces.

It is perfect for laminate floors. It has no spinning roller so it goes not scratch flooring. That is why i bought it.

We have laminate wood floor and it doesn't scratch it at all. I'm not sure how it would do on real hardwood.

I see no reason why not ,just leave the wheels off but find some form of cap to replace the wheels,you don't want to have your floor scrape up

We have wood floors also. Works great. Wheels have a rubber strip around them to prevent scratching the floor.

On tile, ok. I found it to scratch my laminate [?wheels]so I'm would not use it on wood floors.

I have carpet, but this thing isn't really heavy enough to scratch it. The wheels are fine, the problem is that the cradle part doesn't stay up like it's supposed to, so it drags over the wheels, which may scratch the floors? Just be careful to try and keep the cradle part up and you'll be fine.
