can you attach these to casters? In other words, I would like to use it as a rolling cube open at the top

I would say not because the sides are adhered with 3M tape, not structural nails or screws. If you screwed the parts together with wood screws, perhaps, but I would look for a different product for this. The stability comes from the top.

These particular models do not support casters. Also note that "open at top" is not a recommended configuration. The backing board (which would become the bottom of the cube, in an open-at-top scenario) is not meant to support any weight (nor could it - it's more akin to a thick piece of paper than a wall). Way Basics does offer a cube that supports casters but it too is only meant for open-on-side configurations, not open-at-top. See http://www.waybasics.com/home-storage.html for those.

Hi Spring, Yes. Please note all customization is at your own risk and will void warranty. Many customers have customized, please be familiar with the product before doing so.Jimmy ChiangWay Basics, Founderjimmy@waybasics.com

You probably could do that. They are made from some material that is somewhere between particle board and paper, but very thick layered paper. They are actually extremely strong, but I'm pretty sure you could nail into them to attach wheels.

Amendment- I do remember that the backing is a thin material, so the other answer is correct, it wouldn't support that. Sorry, I didn't remember that.

Yes, the wheels just snap on, you could use them or not. If you don't use the casters, there are caps that protect the flooring. I've had this shelf/cart for quite a while now and still love it!

Not designed for casters; no casters were included. You might be able to rig something on it personally to make casters work. Joey

Yes I put wheels on mine and they are the 4" honey can do casters on Amazon. Great unit by the way! We use it as a packaging station for hanging tape guns, rolls of tape, razor knives, markers, clean rags, hot glue gun, heat gun, labels, etc...

Sure why not. You could screw them to the side with a mdf board, or clamp the vises. Either way more than one way to do it.

We do not provide casters for this item, nor have we tested this item for casters and do not advise adding casters to the item. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

The wheels screw into the bottom of the frame using a bolt integrated into the caster. Without the wheels, I believe the frame would sit flat on the floor just fine, so I think not attaching the wheels would be an option.

the leg itself is 3/4in by3/4in. at an angle as shown. the holes are blocked by rubber feet that can be removed. I've seen casters that will fit in square tubbing. so if you can find that small of a caster end yes or if you can ram a square block of wood and drill a hole in it then put a caster arm in wood. it would work. casters can't have fenders on them like some do though.

absolutely - the ball casters mount to the adapters so you still have the ability to "roll". The ball casters have a "lock" latch on them if you do not want to roll. The adapters themselves are not meant to be used without castersHope this helps :)

No, but I would imagine you could purchase casters and install them rather easily. This item is a great value. Good quality for the price.

I asked my husband just to be sure and we agree you could add casters. But a rough measure reads 7/8ths of an inch. a little smaller would fit if you can find the size. Hope that helped.

I am sure you could, but the casters lock so they are really ideal for movable presentations, etc.

Not sure you can do that. the front to back feet are solid tubing with only plastic endcaps on them. Prob. would need to drill through and then not sure it would work. Why don't you try to find one that says it can have casters?

No and it is not something I would recommend even if the option was there... it is is not constructed to do this... the panels are a film of plastic that is fairly saggy... I put cothes in mine and it gives a great deal and puts pressue on the connectors in a way that they loosen up. If you add wheels and intend to move it ... that would be a recipe for coming apart and all your stuff tumbling. One thing I have always done to these types of contructable cubes even the metal one ... I use plastic cord ties to secure the panels for a stronger connection even with the connectors.

I wouldn't recommend trying to attach casters. I agree that this cabinet is too large and heavy to be moved on casters. There is no secure area on the bottom of the unit to put casters. Try getting a unit that has casters or wheels as original equipment.

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.
