Can I add wheels to this base to turn this+ball into a "chair"? If so, what size wheels?

That's something I haven't looked into and let it sit flat under my ball at work. I personally wouldn't add wheels because it sounds like an accident waiting to happen, but maybe some customer more adventurous than me can answer the question.

It was not designed for wheels. As designed, the ball actually sits on the floor, with the base providing stability. Sturdy as it is, putting all the weight on just 4 pressure points may lead to structural failure over time. Not advised or recommended. If attempted, it would be done at your own risk.

it would be great if someone could invent wheels for this base because it would not add much for height and width. I am a short person and the ball chairs available at this time either raise me up too high and the width of the base is uncomfortably wide.

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

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.

The feet screw into the bottom so I would imagine if you can find wheels with the same screw size as the feet that it should be a fairly simple mod.

You can but not with the multiple wheels. You have to change it to one wheel per leg. Make sure it's a smooth surface.

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.

There is a plastic round disc in the center of the base, not sure if this can be removed and a caster can be inserted. Hope this helps!

I think so. The black flat things that attach to the bottom of the legs screw in. So I think you could get wheels that screw in if they're small enough.

No. And that's about the only thing I'd change about it. I mistakenly thought I'd add wheels to it, but there isn't a place to attach them.

I'm not sure but I would say yes. The benefit of using the ball as a chair is that your are using your abs to stabilize you. If you use the base you loose that benefit. I'm also not sure if it would damage your ball sitting on it while on the base.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes you can assemble it without the wheels. The caster are inserted into the bottom of the base. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

You will be happy with this purchase, the wheels on here are like on a rolling chair, it should roll very nice.I hope this helps, oh and use glue when putting this together sometimes the top gets loose and you have to reinstall.

I love the table; however, I am not sure how you would add wheels since the legs are metal.

The wheels are built in so not really. Maybe set a plastic container on top of the lid as long as it isnt heavy.

Absolutely, but I added castors to the 2"X4" lower cross member. There is exactly 1.5" from the floor to the bottom crossmember, so I cut a short segment of a 2"x4" and attached it to the bottom of the crossmember, allowing me to add retractable wheels.

sure, i think so, you think the mfg would put the specs, yes and perhaps you may have to add couple layers of cardboard, yes, wheels come off not needed, they just stick in like chair pull out if you want i think it would work for you

Dear Corey,It does not come assembled. Assuming you can find wheels that will fit, Im sure they can be replaced.
