I have had a rolling vanity chair for over 10 years and need to replace it. I am curious about how this maneuvers on a tile floor.

It does not have rollers. Each metal leg has what looks like a plastic flat piece attached to the end. It can be slid around on those. We have a tile floor but it is rough textured, and it moves over that surface okay. But your result may vary depending on what kind of tile you have.

My stool is used on a tile floor. I previously had a stool with rollers. I usually just pick it up slightly when I move it although it will glide along the tile floor okay, not as well as rollers but the beauty of it is worth the effort.............Not a problem.....................

I would think it would be fine. Mine has sliders on the bottom and it is easy to maneuver, I am a throw rug person though and I do have one under mine. The vanity stool seat cover is great and cleans easily (broken eye brow pencil tip smeared in, a little water and cloth cleaned it right up. It is a great chair and I am happy I found it.

This stool does not roll. Maneuvers as any 4-legged stool or chair on tile and is light enough to move easily. I use it on tile and have not had any problems.

Mine sits on a tile floor. It has nylon foot disks on the botttom og the legs and slides with ease..

The stool has gliders (feet) which slide about easily on the ceramic tile floor.

I don't find it heavy as much as I do awkward to handle. I usually grab the back of the seat and drag it across the carpet in a bumpy way. i found some straight furnature gliders at the hardware store and stuck them on for an easier glide. After I got tile on floor I'd put a towel under the back leg, tilt the back of chair down and glide it into place. It works ok for me because I only use it once a month and store it in the garage in between. If you plan to take it from place to place this one is not that kind of portable.

If you buy this chair, make sure you also get some of those heavy duty extra large wheels to replace the ones that come with it...especially if you are going to be on carpet without a mat under the chair. I have hovered around 350 the entire time I've used this chair, and the chair itself has held up well...the wheels on the other hand are unhappy with me :P I have owned it a little over a year now.

I received mine rolled. I was rather surprised, as I thought it would be thick enough to rule out being rolled. Sadly, it's thinner than I thought and the castors on my chair make seemingly, permanent divots in thetop. It's difficult to roll my chair up and out of those divots. My chair pretty much stays in the same placeall the time. The only good the mat does is to protect the carpet underneath and to catch dropped items.

No problem on my wood floors. I got this for my girl when she turned one. She loved it but was frustrated by the fact that it rolled And was unstable when getting on and off. She started walking at ten months so I thought she was ready... Now she's 18 months and has figured out how to steady the roll. She still absolutely loves it and plays with it daily.

I have tile flooring and there was no damage to it. Because of the footplate is made a of a heavy plastic material, I think you will be fine. Also, the footplate can be raised and placed out of the way if necessary. I purchased this product for my visiting mother-in-law. She was with us for three months and this product made all the difference in the world for her.

Unfortunately, I never replaced mine. I'm still using the same chair for a year now. I've been dealing with the broken height adjustment (stuck on the lowest one) since it broke. The actual wheels I never actually used. So they stayed stationary on carpet. They kind of just dug themselves in. Occasionally I push it to vacuum and I push it back to get up, but other than that.. that's the most action it gets. Other than the height adjustment, this chair works fine.

Roller feet on the chair would make it easier to move around on carpet; however, roller feet on the chair make it move too easily on a floor mat or hard surface floor, especially if you want to do free-motion quilting. The glides on the chair make it stay positioned where you want it easily on either surface. It's easy to swivel in and out of the chair but it doesn't move around as easily as it does with roller feet.

It's great on tile and wood floor. You can even adjust the height of how close it sits to the floor.

It rolls okay on wooden floor or carpet, but it is a workout in itself. One has to lift the rear of the unit to move it and it is heavy and bulky, but it does move. Moving it each time you use it could get old quickly. I leave it in one spot and only move for cleaning underneath.

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.

hmmm, it sags to the extent most cloth-type seats do. It will probably depend on your weight and how much movement you do have in your legs. I'm not sure if you mean putting it in the tub, then sitting on it, then swinging your legs in? If that's the case, I would be very careful. It's pretty light, and if you put too much weight or pressure on any part not centered it might tip. However, I just switched bathrooms today so I guess I could try that (never thought of doing it that way!) and let you know if I survive :). Seriously, I'd be very careful if you do. I am severely limited in mobility in my lower extremities but if you aren't as limited (or as heavy) you might be ok. hmmm, it sags to the extent most cloth-type seats do.

I have all tile floor and it works great. This is much better than the lighter models. I have used this one for two years.

Hello, I just did a trial run by scooting around my tiled kitchen floor on this stool -> it left no marks and moved easily. The casters are plastic so there aren't the black marks rubber leaves. Also, the casters can be changed using any of the many caster sets available at a good hardware store.Also, I love this stool. It's stable both for me and my 4 year old. Never has tipped even with him wobbling all over it!

I have a area rug, it roll fine between the hard wood floors onto the rug and on the rug. I recommend it.

I placed it on my hardwood floor, rolled my office chair on top of it and in no time it straightened itself. Hope this help - Sandra

I had one years ago that I ran on my Laminate floors with no problems. The new one I have now runs on soft tile squares and still I have had no problems. Just make sure you keep the rollers clean of debris and you should love it.
