I'm concerned about my hardwood floors. Does this chair have rubber casters or plastic/nylon?

If it was my hardwood floor I would get a chair mat to protect it. I don't trust any type wheels on my floor. And the wheels are hard plastic.

Yes, the red and black Swivel I ordered have polyurethane (rubber) wheels ... no marks on hardwood!

Good morning, STB. The seat is made out of rubber wood. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

The potty chair is hard plastic (both pieces). There is soft small trim on the bottom to keep the from slipping. FANTASTIC design for ease of use and cleaning.

No, there is no rubber on the bottom. It's hard plastic and great on carpet but I'd be really careful on hardwood flooring.

Plastic - they are not rubber - I have "faux-wood" floors in my rental. Good luck

I agree with Joey... I would cancel your purchase of this chair if I were you. The hydraulics went within a few weeks, the material scratches really easily, and all the side screw covers didn't fit in properly. To answer your question, I use mine on a hardwood floor and it doesn't seem to have caused any damage to it.

The wheels are like a firm rubber material. Sorry I do not have hardwood floors, so I'm not much help to you in that aspect. I can tell you that this is an awesome sorter though. It is sturdier than any other laundry cart I have ever purchased.

It,s much depends on the quality of your floor, chair itself is gorgeous. Wheels in a chair made of plastic, the probability of daily activities will not bring any harm. But if your floor is made of bamboo or pine, probably on the total weight in time lines may appear something.

I use it on hardwood floors with no problems. The rubber on the legs protect it. I have been using it for about 6 months faithfully.

We replaced all the castors with some really nice nylon ones that don't scratch our wood floor. They are also have a lot smoother operation. We purchased them from Rockler Woodworking (Rockler.com). You just have to make sure of the size and type of the posts that go into the chair. Don't remember how much they were, but not much.

Mine has little plastic ends on the bottom of the legs. I have hardwood floors and they do not scratch.

We have the black one and we put pads on the bottom of it to assure it would not scratch the wooden floor. Even though it is so heavy, it is relatively easy to move. We want it to be relatively stationary so casters would not benefit us. I'd recommend not to use them unless there was a need to move the unit a material distance all the time.

There were two companies making the chair, I was told. The older company used vinyl, the newer used leather. The casters didn't work and they couldn't be replaced, so we returned the chair and didn't replace it.

Yes, casters work well on grouted tile floors, but aren't rubberized, so expect it to be a bumpy roll!

The wood on my chairs is the same color as in the picture - a nutty brown. The fabric is vinyl and is easy to wipe clean as we use ours at the kitchen table. They are very comfortable. We now have rubber casters as the ones supplied marked the wood floor. They move silently and don't leave marks.

I'm not sure what rubber wood is but I really love my two gaucho stools I purchased. They are well made and very sturdy.
