Does anyone know what the alternative casters are. What type of floors do they work best on..

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.

Not only can they be removed, I suggest they be removed. One of the casters on my unit broke when I rolled across the carpet. I went to my local hardware store and bought new casters that work just fine, but the casters can be removed completely.

Hello! I had this piece for a short while (had to return it as the size wasn't right for me) so I can't say for sure if casters would work, especially given the size and "curve" of the legs at the bottom. However I can say the piece is very sturdy, so that could help!

There are no casters on the legs. There is a roller in the front where the front legs attach to the main body of the machine. The roller is not useable unless the machine is folded up. The roller is quite small in diameter and is not very useful, especially if used on a rough surface. I would love to have casters on the front legs that could be locked in an up position when the machine is being used but locked in the down position so the thing could be rolled around without having to fold it up first.

I couldn't agree more! I accidentally lock them all day everyday. There is a site http://www.coolcasters.com that sells lots of casters so I'm sure we can find replacements there. Good Luck-getting new casters is on my to do list TODAY!

I have had no problem with my casters. I put them on a Ampeg BA115HP and works great.

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.

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

The casters are really cheap plastic unless the maker decided to change them out since I purchased mine. I would say if you have low pile carpeting it might work, but for the price I really do advise you to buy something different.

Do not buy these for that purpose. I had the same problem with my bed last year and bought some wonderful casters from Amazon that immediately corrected the problem.I will find the name of the product in the morning and get back to you so that annoying problem with the bed can be resolved. Until then ....

I do not know if these casters roll easily on carpet. I purchased them to see if they would prevent excessive wear on heavy plastic floor mat. The original castors cracked the lighter floor mat within three years. But I weigh 200 pounds and that might help to wear excessively. I have not tried them on my low carpet.

If you take the caster to a home improvement store(to match size) you can find replacements pretty easily. I didn't have an issue with this item but have had to replace them in the past for other furniture

I did have quite a bit of trouble getting the casters in as well. I think I finally had to have my husband muscle them in with sheer will. Maybe an object that fits between the wheels and a hammer or a mallet would help. They did eventually go in and they are never coming out. I do like that they are secure because we have a footstool with wheels that constantly fall out. We did not use any lubricants or special tools.

The casters are typical hard plastic. Casters for wood floors are softer urethane or rubber. The rule is hard casters for soft floors and soft casters for hard floors.

Hi Lori... If you're planning to be moving your 200 lb plant around a lot, I would consider changing out the casters for those meant for hard floors... namely, rubber clad or felt clad casters. Google "hard floor casters" for choices, and match the caster stem size (width/length). Occasional rolling should not be a problem. Hope this is helpful...

I have tile floors, so I decided to wait. It slides easily enough without casters. But if you choose to have then, look on the Powell kitchen website and they sell them separately.

There are adjustable feet on the bottom that serve as levelers. I don't think you could put casters on these.
