Are the rollers on this chair ok for wood floors?

I don't know about this chair as the seller sent a wrong one that I returned. In general, never use hard plastic rollers on real hardwood floor. There will always be dirt caught by the rollers that transforms the rollers into effective "sandpaper" rolls, slowly and steadily destroying varnish and wood. Always have your chair on a mat.

I have had this chair for over a year and have not had any problems with the hardwood floors in my home.

Hello,I took one of the "feet" out of the frame and here is what it looks like. If you can find rollers that have the same diameter (about 5/8" or 1.5 cm) than I don't see why you could not use rollers instead. But the round plastic "feet" are very smooth so you can probably slide them on carpet or glue felt on them and slide them on wood floors. (Ours is on a wood floor and I can slide it easily.) I am attaching a picture of one of the feet.I hope this helps!Jackie

No, the casters will not scrape hard wood floors. I love it I use it all the time.

No these are for carpets but they do have them for wood floors and those that I have are excellent. They can be purchased from Amazon also. Good luck.

The wheels are plastic. I have carpet so I can't say what they will do to hard wood floors. Once you get this vacuum the wheels are the least of your concerns. Get some Torx screw drivers one set for size T9 and down and the other set for size T10 and up. You need these to take apart the vacuum for maintenance that it doesn't tell you about. I burnt out a rolling brush bar because hair has been stuck on one of its ends and fused to the bar, breaking its hard plastic. Now I clean it like it's a weapon to a solider.

I recommend you read all the reviews. They worked on four wooden chairs with a laminate floor. The company says something like: 'slides as if on wheels' and that is about right. You can't go wrong with these for this type of application.

Yes- althoughI use it on a carpet - I would not hesitate to use it on a wood floor. Joan

Yes. The tips of the legs that the casters go into have a short length on them. If using on a hardwood floor, at felt pads. Otherwise fine on carpet.

The chair rolls very smooth. If your floor has a good finish I don't think it would be a problem.

I have wood floors as well as vinyl and have had no problems. My daughter has been able to walk freely around the house with this walker.

I have them in my office which is wood flooring. There is no marring on the floor and they roll perfectly. The climate I am in is extremely dry so after about 2-3 years the plastic breaks on the wheels and have to be replaced, but that is true for anything plastic where I live. I don't know about tile, I don't think any rolling chair would work well on tile with seams.

Ms. Romero, The ones I ordered for the grandchildren are used for outside fun. I personally would not trust them on wood floors.

They should be. although I would use a chair mat. I have an older one that is clear plastic for hard surfaces, there are none of the little spikes on the bottom for carpet. The casters helped me save my chair from going to Goodwill. This was for a set of 5, Nadine.

Yes, they are safe. I have hardwood floors as well and the feet have a rubber type cover on them.

Yes. They are very sturdy chairs. They will scratch the floors if you do not pick up the chair and rearrange. You can add cushions to the bottom for smooth sliding though.

They are rounded plastic, as long as they don't get to full of dirt and grit they should be ok. it would roll very well on hard wood, but if you are worried a rug or mat underneath also works well.

No, and I had this same concern as well. The rubber treads on the wheels make it safe to use on hard wood floors.
