I have hardwood floors, so I'm looking for a chair that has soft casters. Can someone tell me if the wheels are soft rubber or hard plastic?

They seem to be plastic. I'm not sure if they would scratch your floor. However, there are chair mats that are wood colored that you can put over your floor if you're worrying about scratching the floors. I love the chair, and I have a plastic mat over my carpeting in my office.

Mine were hard plastic. When I purchased the chair. I also returned the chair because one of the arms was loose and could not tighten.

I have these chairs. The wheels are hard plastic but they are not marking up my hardwood floors.

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.

Metal base and wood legs for casters. I would recommend buying these chairs. The chair that a friend was sitting on collapsed. Our efforts to have the chair replaced were met with every effort to dismiss the claim by putting us through numerous exercises. Answer a plethora of questions. Questions answered were met with more questions. Their (Furniture Creations, Amazon) final (final because I had exhausted my patience-their strategy all along) response involved me taking the chair, all three parts including the cracked wooden piece, to a Goodwill type place and get a receipt. This would generate a refund for the broken chair. This is much more than you had requested. If you're so inclined let me know what you decide. email me at 1pajm1@gmail.com with what ever you do. Good luck!

Yes, these are softer than the hard plastic casters that were originally on my chair. I love these.

Both of the ones I have are fabric seats, I'm not sure if any have hard seats. You can see more pics on the ezy roller website. The seats are sturdy non-the-less. I haven't had any issues with the seats, except the bar on the back, which is a little hard on my back. When I ride them, I put a cushion on the back bar to make it more comfy. It doesn't seem to bother the kids. The wheels will wear out after about 8-10 months and you'll have to get new wheels. Hope that helps.

Hard to tell. Feels like commercial grade plastic...large, sturdy wheels...not the cheap stuff. Will not scratch floor.

I purchased it for my granddaughter, not sure about the wheels I think they are rubber... but it is well made, a great purchase!

My Medline is a recent purchase, and it has the 3-spoke wheels. The number of spokes is not an issue for me, but I WAS surprised to see that this is the first rollator I've ever owned that has plastic wheels rather than rubber ones. The plastic wheels slide like crazy on our hardwood floors, and this is a real issue for me because I have paralyzed feet. I heartily wish these wheels were rubber as my two previous rollators were.

If it was my hardwood floor I would get a chair mat to protect it. I don't trust any type wheels on my floor. And the wheels are hard plastic.

The wheels are plastic. I have area rugs over my hardwood floor with the exception of my foyer and bedrooms. I have not noticed any scratching.

The arm rests are hard plastic, but I have six of these now for our office, and everyone loves them. I sit in this thing 8+ hours a day, and I challenge you to find a better chair under $500!!

The wheels are like a firm rubber material. Sorry I do not have hardwood floors, so I'm not much help to you in that aspect. I can tell you that this is an awesome sorter though. It is sturdier than any other laundry cart I have ever purchased.

All wheels are hard plastic, but are well constructed. My daughter has had her big wheel for over two years now without anything breaking. The only downside to plastic wheels is the wheel will spin on certain surfaces and not grip to go.
