Why is it necessary to remove casters?

We totally forgot to remove the casters and have had no problem at all, except that the bed is a bit higher than anticipated. At 4'11", I have to leap a bit to get into bed.

I'm not using the risers for a bed frame but I would imagine that casters would make the bed frame move around on the risers. Hope that helps.

I don't know. Mine was so flimsy I threw the whole thing away...shame, I could have sent you a caster. My recommendation is to go to Home Depot or Lowes, get 4 new casters with threaded screws, carefully drill four new holes completely through, and use a washer on the top and bottom before tightening a nut on each caster.

It does not come with casters, though you could remove the feet and install them separately, I suppose. Not sure I would recommend casters, though. It would seem too unstable to me.

Sorry, I do not recall the size of the screws necessary and I no longer have the casters here to check, but what I would suggest you do is just take the casters with you to a nearby hardware store and find the proper fit that way. Ask an employee to help you find the proper fit if you need to. Shouldn't be a problem and I basically did the same thing using my own supply of screws. Trial and error is the easiest and best way to do it.

Yes..just don't install either of them.Can't speak to the stability of not having the casters in though..

I don't remember if there was anything to do to the shredder itself. The casters just pop into the unit. Very easy to use too, I really like it. Christiane B

Not very easily. Removing the casters will reduce the height of the seat by 2 inches or more, and it may be difficult to locate suitable leg slides or caps.

The casters are not something that you assemble--the machine arrives with the wheels already pre-nstalled. So, if you uninstall the wheels, it may end up being a permanent removal. I would actually not recommend it--one nice thing about this unit is that it is extremely easy to move around in comparison to other units. I have multiple edgestar portable air conditioners and the others are far harder to move than this one.

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.

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.

I have to agree with everyone else on this.I know you can purchase separate casters that are that "pin style' type connector from a variety of suppliers, but again, I can not imagine why you would need rubber casters. I certainly wouldn't be rolling them over our Off-White carpet :-)

Yes. I used a small wood block to hammer in the casters to prevent damage. No problems

It does not come with casters...and I would not recommend doing so. It is very stable without...adding casters would possibly make it unstable due to the footprint of the unit.

You can remove the casters (you have to put them on during assembly) but the top is smooth - there is no notch or way to secure the top of the bottom stack with the bottom of the top.

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

It doesn't look like there's any way to remove the casters from the frame...no screws, bolts, etc. I use this caddyfor a tree in a very large pot inside the house on top of thick carpet, and I've been pleased with my ability to moveit around, and the wheels have stayed intact. Good luck!
