Can you use this chair without the wheels installed and not scratch a hardwood floor, i.e. are their attachments for the wheels that would stick out?

There are no protrusions on the underside that would cause damage to a wooden floor, but since the bottom rail is made of wood also it would inevitably cause scratching, unless you glued some felt strips onto it. The other consideration is that removing the wheels would reduce the geight of the chair seat by about 2.5 inches, so make it uncomfortably low for desk work.

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.

My furniture doesn't have wheels but I would think they would keep the furniture stable as long as they fit into the cup. My furniture doesn't move at all. They serve the purpose I needed for my hardwood floors. I hope this helps.

Yes you attach the wheels to the base as part of assembly process. I do not think this chair would be safe or sturdy though just sitting on the plastic frame. The chair is well made, but the casters are designed to bear the weight not the plastic base.

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

We actually have 4 of these chairs on an exotic Brazilian wood floor with no issues. The bottoms have a rubber ring around it that they rest on. I would recommend if you buy them to periodically lift them up and see if the rubber is coming off like I do just to insure your floor. We've not had any issues with the rubber coming off so far. If you are anything like I am I'd rather toss a $50 chair then ruin a several thousand dollar floor. Hope this helps you.

I am pretty sure you put the wheels on the poles at the end of the assembly - in other words you could choose not to use the wheels - but the bottom of the poles to which they attach are not really finished to stand alone so they may scratch your floor without the wheels. The wheels so have locks I think I would be inclined to just build it with the castors and lock them.

The wheels are attached to the bottom of the frame with bolts and nuts. I imagine if you want you don't have to attach them. I'm not sure if the frame will lie flat on the floor without the wheels. Looks like it should. I have put my coat rack away. Hope this helps.

I have hardwood floors and have let my two year old ride this on them all over the house. No scratches. We have had no problems.We have the roller blade wheels which are soft, which I think they all come with anyway. Hope this helps

I have my chairs on hardwood and so far I haven't noticed any scratches or damage. I have only had mine for a few months but they have held up great so far.

It does have wheels they are plastic. I do not believe that it will scratch the floors as long as it kept in a clean area.

I'm not sure. But if you don't want the chair to stay still or not roll aroundl? My suggestion just don't attach the wheels and that should do it.

Unfortunately, I never replaced mine. I'm still using the same chair for a year now. I've been dealing with the broken height adjustment (stuck on the lowest one) since it broke. The actual wheels I never actually used. So they stayed stationary on carpet. They kind of just dug themselves in. Occasionally I push it to vacuum and I push it back to get up, but other than that.. that's the most action it gets. Other than the height adjustment, this chair works fine.

If you're talking about a rolling chair, I think the mat is too soft -- the chair will have trouble moving. A chair without wheels may work, but you'll need to lift the chair each time you move it.

As long as yours comes with the rollerblade poly wheels it won't scratch your floors. If you get the hard wheels, they will scratch your floors.

Thanks, your post will help my decision to buy in a positive way. I also am curious whether or not the chair comes with screws to mount the wheel or if you need to get some and what size if so. Thanks again.

There are plastic pads on the back of the chair but not the front the desk has pads on the straight part of the leg but not the part that juts out. I think it would scratch the floor as it is I think you could purchase some cheap pads at a hardware store. We love the desk very well built would recommend the desk amd chair over all.

Hi, Yes you can assemble it without the wheels but I think the joint where the wheels fit in might scratch your floors
