They are made of a lightwieght basemetal. They are very sturdy and appear to be well made for the price. A good value for emergemcy light when needed.

Yes, they are just caster wheels... U don't necessarily have to have them on there. They have a locking mechanism so the cage doesn't roll around.

Someone else put them together for me, Amy, so I'm not sure. However, they're very stable on the casters -- they don't move around unless you push them. They're very heavy-duty, and very heavy, period, so I wouldn't worry about them moving. Mine have been in the same spot for months. Hope this helps.

Everything is metal except for 4 rubber bumpers & the caster wheels. I have two in my home and consider them to be some of the best money I ever spent.

These are plastic 2 inch casters. We had to replace one of ours and found some at Home Depot. But, they were not an exact match in style though they were the same size.

Yes, it comes with casters (rollers) as shown. Two of them will lock and they are made of plastic.

The casters go in all the way. I had to use a block of wood and hammer the casters into place.

better than the casters that came with the chair but not really as protective as the felt covered ones. Hope this helps.

When you say casters, I am assuming you mean wheels. The chair is pretty substantial, so I would get really strong wheels. It wouldn't do much for the look of the chair. The seat is pretty high too, so be sure you measure the bottom of the vanity. I love this chair. It looks good even from the back.

I'm that person. First I just drilled holes in the base and attached the bolt-on casters. But because the base has a slight cone shape to it the casters kept breaking. So I cut a round piece of plywood, fitted it inside the base flange and then put the bolt-on casters on. Been good ever since. You could try the push in casters but there's nothing to hold them unless you add plywood. Probably best to use the bolt-ons.

They are made of aluminum. The are very strong. I can sit on them without any flex or give.

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.

The casters have a stem diameter of .425" or 10.9 mm. They are about .75 " long where they insert into the base.

The casters would have to be very heavy duty because this is a solid piece of furniture. I don't think I would.
