Has anyone used these casters on an Ikea office chair?

I currently have this chair: http://www.houzz.com/photos/255105/MOSES-Swivel-chair-modern-office-chairsThey don't seem to fit, going to exchange them for 10mm instead of these 11mm ones, hopefully they work.

YES ... I replaced the wheels on two different styles of IKEA chairs (seven chairs altogether). HOWEVER, you need to drill the hole in the chair larger. IKEA chairs are 10mm and the plastic plug will not accept these wheel out of the box, but get an 11mm drill bit for around 8 dollars and you are in business. My old wheels were scuffing my laminate flooring, now the chairs run smooth. VERY HAPPY! Just look at the bottom of your chair and see if you can drill a bigger opening. It is worth the money savings and these wheel are great.

I recommend you read all the reviews. They worked on four wooden chairs with a laminate floor. The company says something like: 'slides as if on wheels' and that is about right. You can't go wrong with these for this type of application.

Yes. The tips of the legs that the casters go into have a short length on them. If using on a hardwood floor, at felt pads. Otherwise fine on carpet.

I'm not sure about the caster's but I have used these on industrial carpet and and plush carpet and it moves ok. Obviously you won't be sliding around having chair races, but it isn't a pain in the button either.

Yes the casters are the same as in the picture. I don't know which model is the sturdiest, or if it the same. Sorry

These are replacement caster for a wide variety of office chairs. The caster stems have a c clip on them.You can use them in a DIY project by drilling a hole the diameter of the stem, then using a light weight mallet to drive the casters in the hole you drilled. The C-clip on the stem will compress enough to fit snugly. The bottom of the stem has a base so the hole should not exceed that diameter to allow the plastic caster to rotate freely.

They fit most chairs IF they already have casters. I found they didn't work well on laminate flooring.

I wouldn't. They are not what I would call "industrial strength". My sewing chair has scratched mine to heck and it's just a simple rolling chair. They are great looking and a great price, but I'd go for a little higher quality for excercise equipment. Hope this helps!

Their purpose is to keep furniture from moving. I do not see them working for office chairs. It seems the wheels would roll over them.

I guess it depends on the chair and how it is used. I bought these for large, heavy conference room chairs; and so far they are holding up better that the standard replacement casters that we have bought in the past. If you have heavy chairs and/or heavy people, I would recommend trying these. The original casters on my large conference room chairs were not plastic; they were brass and other metal(s). The metal ones lasted many years. I tried some other standard plastic replacement casters, and they all broke within weeks or months. So far (over a year), none of these have failed.

I have not, but this is a standard office chair roller. I have not seen any variations

I've have had them on two office chairs for about 3 months of daily use on hardwood floors and so far they work great. The rubber is softer than the casters that came on the chairs, so they roll smoothly and don't mark up the floor. I, don't know how they would work on laminates since my floors are solid oak.

Yes we will replace broken casters. Please email evolutionchair@shaw.ca and we will start the process rolling. Can you include a photo for quality control and also to ensure we send the right part. Thanks Lori

Casters are quite standardized. The casters on my chair have a threaded shank with a hexagonal head to accommodate a wrench. They screw into the chair leg, & mine are only finger tight. I suggest you unscrew the offending caster & take it to your local hardware, or a big box store Like Home Depot or Lowes. You should be able to find one of the same diameter & mounting system, though it may not be identical to the broken one, or your local contact should be able to tell you where you can get one.

I think they may. The rubber is rather pliable therefore if the caster gets to the edge, it may just roll over. Don't get me wrong, these are great, nice and rubbery so they keep the furniture in place, but I am not sure your casters won't roll right over them.

I don't know. I got them for my desk chair with arms. The only name I could find on the chair is "True Seating Concepts". I could not find the casters to fit in any local store. After much trial and error, I went on-line, and using the exact measurements of the old stem, found this one that fits perfectly. I bought a set so they would all be new, but saved the three unbroken old ones in case of another breakdown.

I also have an ikea chair. These were too big. For some reason my chair has a 10mm diameter making the 'universal' ones too big.
