Hi Catherine. They're casters. This is well made item. I have three and will probably buy more.

3 1/2" Wheels. Hard black plastic with hard gray outer rim. I do not roll often, so I can not comment on durability under heavy rolling conditions, but metal frame is heavy duty.

Wheels...they are "castor" wheels... Definitely roll AND you can lock them so they won't roll...

Katherine - truthfully, I am not really sure of the difference. What I do know is that they are composed of polyurethane or hard rubber wrapped around a polyurethane core. There is an axle and 2 of them have a locking mechanism which seems very sturdy. I've yet to have one of these suckers lock up and they make the rack marvelously maneuverable. I want to call them casters but all I care about is that they work.

The wheels themselves aren't half bad .. They may come in tight but work like a charm; if you really are interested in replacing them I recommend you buy some actually Penny Wheels and if you didn't understand that, I meant buy some wheels made by the actually Penny Company. I hope I could help you

Yes there are wheels but you can't lock the casters so they move around a bit too easily on wood floors. Two wheels are fixed and two swivel.

Here are the castors we purchased for ours - come in set of 5 for $20.99 and we are very happy with them. http://www.rockler.com/slipstick-rubber-caster-wheels-pack-of-5

I did have quite a bit of trouble getting the casters in as well. I think I finally had to have my husband muscle them in with sheer will. Maybe an object that fits between the wheels and a hammer or a mallet would help. They did eventually go in and they are never coming out. I do like that they are secure because we have a footstool with wheels that constantly fall out. We did not use any lubricants or special tools.

I assume you mean wheels. Any caster that comes with a 3/8 inch bolt for screwing in should work. Remove one of the adjustable feet and take to a hardware store. Shouldn't be a problem to match the thread on a caster.

The wheels (or "casters") are eight inch, which is enough for most indoor and some outdoor obstacles. The other "standard" caster is (as I recall) four inch diameter. Way too small in my opinion.

I didn't find them much different (I think the other descriptions are pretty accurate) except that they picked up hair/grit worse than the standard casters did. I felt like they caused as much damage as the old wheels, because the "soft" surface was soon rough from the dust/grit they had accumulated. :( I had to wash them, weekly, to keep them relatively clean- but that didn't change the fact that they were permanently pitted/marred by grit.

I have had no issues with my wheels; however, I am not rough with my equipment. Replacement would require that you be a little handy with tools. You can find caster wheels at Lowe's , Home Depot or here at Amazon.

The one I received did have casters. I do remember having the same question. I think I did finally find something some were in the description to indicate that but I may have just trusted the picture.

The caster wheels are detachable. You can opt not to install them or to uninstall them if they're already on.

I just loked at the wheels. They both look the same. I snapped and unsnapped both equally with the little metal piece around the wheel. They do slide off easily if you pull them but the carriage has been perfectly fine as it. I do remember inhad trouble with the frot wheel and had extra pieces that I couldn't figure out how to use to I just assembled it to the best of my ability and the wheels have never been am issue. It's not a great answer but its reassuring hopefully that you can put it I together and it stays by Christmas Eve.

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.

Don't know what you're asking. If wheels were damaged they would have replaced them. Who is Ned? I totally love mine and wish I had purchased it a long time ago!
