Can the casters be removed?

You would just not assemble them. They come in a separate bag to be assembled. They snap into a hole on the bottom of the leg. Only problem I would see is there would be no feet on the bottom of the leg.

Yes, they can be removed. I'm still happy with it, I work at home and have used it 4x a week for more than 6 months.

Yep, because the chair comes unassembled, you put the casters on initially. They are easy to remove also.

My husband, who is the primary user of the chair, states that all those options exist, but the casters look to be "normal" casters. We use a plastic carpet shield for the chair.

There are two pieces of wood on the front that add to the design. I believe if you will enlarge picture and see a small piece of wood that is under the main piece but if the casters found are special....it is doable.

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.

My recollection is that you remove the plugs at the bottom of the posts (push through other end w/ anything thinner), and then fit the casters in. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can use casters that slips under the feet. I checked after I wrote that first.

Casters are removable. LOVE LOVE LOVE this shredder! SO much more quiet than others we've had in the office. Shreds paper to almost a pulp! Thinking about getting one for my home too!

Not without some modification. The casters are drilled into the leg of the chair; the casters could possibly be removed; however, if you did that, you would need to do something to the bottom of the leg. In my opinion, it might weaken the integrity of the bottom of the leg. I woudn't do it. These chairs are extremely well constructed.

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, they are just caster wheels... U don't necessarily have to have them on there. They have a locking mechanism so the cage doesn't roll around.

No. The casters broke on mine and I cannot find any replacements. Don't buy the chair.

Absolutely. The casters have a white rubber ring on the bottom that keeps the caster in place and from scratching the floor

It doesn't look like there's any way to remove the casters from the frame...no screws, bolts, etc. I use this caddyfor a tree in a very large pot inside the house on top of thick carpet, and I've been pleased with my ability to moveit around, and the wheels have stayed intact. Good luck!

No, but I would imagine you could purchase casters and install them rather easily. This item is a great value. Good quality for the price.

The casters are riveted in place. You would need to find a way to get the old wheel off without damaging the caddy, and get the same type of components to attach the new caster.

Yes, they can be removed. They have two rods that go through them that holds them up on the structure.

I would think casters hiding under it would be a better way to go. Maybe ask your hardware store for ideas on it
