The wheels are hard, but rotate and swivel easily. I have hardwoods throughout my home and have had absolutely no trace of damage. Hope this answer helps.

I have wood floors and the wheels on the Moda Home Vintage Repo Laundry Basket roll effortlessly. There is no damage to the floors. Remember, this is a reproduction of an old design, so everything is new and up to today's modern standards of usage, not a vintage, albeit "as is" item.

I have hardwood floors throughout my home and I have not had any problems with the wheels marring the floors. The wheels are not a soft spongy rubber, but a nice smooth plastic that should not harm your floors.

I have wood and tile ..... honestly don't think it would damage floors it is lightweight and usually what goes in it is too...just bulky

I love mine, I use it to bring my folded laundry when I put it away. No more baskets. I never really paid attention to the wheel for outside since I used it inside.

The Sterilite baskets are garbage. The handles broke off of ours within a few months. I have a Rubbermaid 2978 laundry basket that is in PERFECT shape after 15 years of use, but they are discontinued. :(

We have hard wood floors with a couple of larger area rugs and my "Devil" work well until about the 10th time. The plastic handle cracked. Gotta love duct tape. Yes I should have sent it back but sometimes things get in the way. Needless to say I will NOT be purchasing another DD any time soon. Good luck with yours though.

I would not get this for Laundromat use, you will have constant problems with the wheels coming off, not durable enough period for that kind of use. Great for in home I see the other responses and they obviously have never been to a Laundromat.

Mine isn't dirty yet. The inside appears to be very easily cleaned, is wipeable, waterproof, etc. The tag inside mine says "surface wash only with damp cloth". I think that means it can't go in washer. But it's not a dealbreaker for me. good luck, I love my basket and it's way better than some cheaper models I've seen.

I just went and felt the tape I put on my basement stairs (a couple years ago now). It's like there are little granules/grit sprinkled throughout, but they're beneath a sort of coating of soft polymer. (I've noted before how it doesn't even feel uncomfortable to bare feet as you go quickly down the stairs, and I guess that's why.) I have wood floors myself, and I'd be comfortable trying what you said, though I'd make a note to check after 6 months or so to see if that coating wears off and exposes the granules/grit, which then might be abrasive to the floors. You're putting a lot of concentrated weight on the bottom rails of a rocking chair, so it might wear off faster than just people walking down stairs.

The wheels are rubber tires with tubes. Since they are air filled, are great for rough terrain and flat surfaces. i don't have wood floors, so i don't know if they might leave marks that need to be removed. Since they are air filled, flats can happen. after a lot of normal use i got a flat when moving something extremely heavy in rough terrain. i pushed the weight limits too far. i'm going to SLIME the tubes just to see if it works. Replacement tubes are readily available on this site and many other sources. I prefer pneumatic tires especially for stairs and rough terrain and accept the consequences of really putting a tool to work. The wheels are rubber tires with tubes.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

We dont roll our around too much but when we do the wheels hold up fine. We keep ours in the master bedroom which is carpeted. The wheel seem to do fine with the carpet. They even have two wheels with locks on them to keep it from rolling around. I liked mine so much that I bought my fiance one and it has really helped our laundry hamper situation.

Mine rolls just fine. I work in a pizza restaurant and it gets quite a bit of wear and tear. It has been dropped multiple times and even soaked in dishwater. The only problem I have had is it got stiff and started making clicking sounds when you roll something out. I believe it was due to multiple soakings which I told everyone not to do. To solve the problem I put a little mineral oil down in the roller on each end and it works better than it did when it was new.

I have hardwood floors, the wheels are duel plastic type but I have my chair on a plastic floor mat because I think any wheels will wear enough to damage a floor be it hard wood or linoleum type floor .

I bought one for my 19 year old for college & another for my 90 year old Dad. I haven't actually inspected the wheels, but neither one has had any problems, and they are NOT being handled lightly. My son has had his for a year & drags it all over the place, as does my Dad, when the hamper is very full. The wheels seem to be holding up just fine!

You will be happy with this purchase, the wheels on here are like on a rolling chair, it should roll very nice.I hope this helps, oh and use glue when putting this together sometimes the top gets loose and you have to reinstall.

My floors are carpet, tile and vinyl but I doubt the wheels will scratch wood floors; they roll very smoothly. We bought one for our fifth wheel and liked it so much we bought a second one for home. It is a little difficult to run on a carpet but still does a nice job even with doggy hair. On the other flooring it is efficient, easy to use and very convenient; much more so than dragging out the heavy, large vacuum.

yes! we did the exact same thing with the remainder of ours last week. my daughter used a ton of jewels on hers and played outside with her cape on a couple times now. if any have fallen off, i haven't noticed:) they definitely wouldn't survive the washing machine, but they have a good "stick" to them!

Given the fact that it is solid foamy vinyl stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to throw it into a large washer. You probably wouldn't want to wash it on hot, of course. Or you could take it outside and hose it off. I scrubbed my floor before putting the mats down. So when it comes time to scrub the floor again, I'll just scrub the mats along with it. But I put regular kitchen rugs over them, so they shouldn't get too dirty anyway. Just wash the rugs. This information is worth about what you pay for it. You might want to google the manufacturer.
