Has anyone put heavy duty wheels under this item? I have a small kitchen and would need to roll it a foot or so from time to time.

Heavy duty wheels would be a problem because the legs are circular and only 2 inches in diameter at the bottom. Sliders would work and if your floor is smooth it does slide easily.

I did not put wheels on mine, but i did remove an inch from each leg in order to add a granite conter top. It lookd beautiful.

When ours was assembled it rolled on the rollers/wheels very easily. We have it on a wood floor and can move it no problem.

They're pretty reliable for bed frames with wheels, but you're right to be worried, any excessive weight could crack the dishes and make them virtually useless. My bed has wheels and we placed kitchen tiles beneath the dishes, just to be safe. We recently cracked the tiles, though (it has been over 4 months of two 150-lb adults in a queen-size bed) and plan to upgrade to wood tiles beneath the dishes.

We have hard wood floors throughout most of our house and the wheels definitely don't grip. It's more like they fly over the floors. They do actually roll though, just rather quickly. And our little one is very rough and tumble so that could be part of our problem with this item.

I just looked at my own cabinet and it should set well on the floor without a set of wheels attached. The absence of wheels would lower the cabinet closer to the floor by approximately 3 inches or so.

I have downsize to a micro living space and I'm looking for something I can roll up during the day... not put in a container per se...but roll up and put on a shelf ... do you think it can withstand the roll and unroll?

It is very heavy, once assembled it stays that way. I keep it on an equipment mat to protect the flooring. No wheels!

Mine is also low and the wheels do not fit under it. The wheels are attached to plastic pieces that fit over the legs of the base so you have additional height because of that. The clearance of my sofa is only about 1-2 inches and the wheels do not roll under it. Hope this helps.

Haven't tried it but two caster wheels have a lock on them, and if placed against the wall or in a corner, it's VERY stable. Solid as a rock. Especially after you've put some stuff on it.

Wendy, I haven't had a problem with it. It can hold quite a bit of weight spread out over the surface. I haven't dropped it to the floor, but I have banged it around the countertop without any damage. I'd say, go for it.

I've not used the stand with wheels, but I am glad ours doesn't have them. I am using heavy enough weight for shrugs that I have to get right up against the stand to put the weights back, and since we have smooth rubber flooring in our basement I would be worried about it rolling or having a higher chance of tipping if it had wheels. Personally love the stand. It could be bit shorter, but then again I'm not of average height.

We dont roll our around too much but when we do the wheels hold up fine. We keep ours in the master bedroom which is carpeted. The wheel seem to do fine with the carpet. They even have two wheels with locks on them to keep it from rolling around. I liked mine so much that I bought my fiance one and it has really helped our laundry hamper situation.

Ours is on carpet, so it doesn't roll easily at all. But even on a hard floor, it think it would take a little more force to push, the way the wheels turn other directions when you try to push it makes it a little harder to move.

The wheels are very low. They only come up about an inch or so. They roll under my couch and my recliner, so I'd assume you'll be fine!

This does not come with wheels. It has screw in levelers. There is a version of this with wheels called a kitchen cart that has 6 shelves, but the sides and shelves are different. I have both and like the bookshelf version better. You can probably get the wheels extra and replace the leverers. I have not tried this, but may at sometime.

I have mine in a carpeted room, but bought some of those Teflon furniture sliders to go under the wheels/feet. Now it slides across the carpet fairly easy (although it's still heavy). Just be sure to get the big/wide sliders to make it easier.

I have placed this in a stationary position and don't believe I used the wheels. It is at a second home where I will be next week. Ask me then and I will check. Pat
