Can the wheels be removed to be a stationary chair or would that scratch the floor?

Yes you can remove the wheels. But the pressure on the plastic ends wouldn't' be wise, you could put felt tabs on the plastic so it wouldn't damage the floor.

Yes, it comes with the wheels removed - BUT it just has steel tubes for legs (in order to mount the casters) that WOULD cause holes or scratches on most any type of floor.

The wheels are plastic. I have area rugs over my hardwood floor with the exception of my foyer and bedrooms. I have not noticed any scratching.

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.

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

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.

Unless the wheels can be locked it's unlikely. Even then the furniture/wheels would possibly shift or move within the casters thus defeating the purpose of the casters keeping the furniture in place. If it's possible the best approach would be to remove the wheels. Hope this is helpful.

You should be able to do that however depending on the surface it will be on the legs might damage the floor if hardwood. Carpet would probably be ok. I cannot say for sure that it will be the best solution however because the wheels may add an additional structural element as far as safety

It will be stable, and no you won't need something else to hold them securely, that's what the stands are for. As for scratching the floors I don't know, but I think it would be fine as long as you pick them up to move them, and don't drag them.

I suppose you could build it without wheels but I would add glides to it so it won't snag on carpet or scratch wood. It's a nice chair.

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.

You could use it without wheels but it might scratch your floor. Maybe buy rubber feet from Home D.

It won't hurt the floor, but it would be uncomfortable if you walk on the floor in bare feet! Also, I would think the only way to remove it would be to sand/refinish the floor.

No. Metal touches floor directly. You would have to place the items on an area rug to protect the floor. My floors are carpeted and it's take a little extra effort to reposition the chair. It's a lovely set. Putting rubber foot guards on the legs will detract from the beauty. I hope you can work something out.

You could do that. It's a little squishy so I don't know how a rolling chair would do, but a stationary chair, no problem. My kids have their desk and table on it and it's fine.

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.

It would be very diffcult to move. Carpet would be bad, very small wheels. Hardwood or tile would be a little better, but not much. You cannot use the slider to move from side to side, it will bend to pin that holds it in place. All that said, it is great exercise machine if left in one place. I use it every day.

No chair is stationary. Looks good, but I wouldn't recommend if this chair is to be used regularly.
