HelloWe dont have hard wood floors but use it on carpet. The wheels seem like they are good quality. And we have no problems on carpet.Thanks

No, you would need to get the set for hardwood. Its like $15-16 for the set of 5 here in amazon with prime. Still, if used a lot you might get marks on the floor so try to keep the floor clean and oiled because the dust that builds up on the wheels will scratch it.

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 .

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

No, we have hardwood floors and have not had any damage done from the wheely bug.

Yes, the wheels do just fine on hardwood floors. I gave this toy to my grandson for his birthday, and he lives in an old house with only hardwood floors on the main level. There is no problem with the traction.

I use it on hardwood floors with no problems. The rubber on the legs protect it. I have been using it for about 6 months faithfully.

The rubber wheels are almost a foam rubber and have not scuffed our wood or tile floors.

Yes, it's excellent on hardwood floors. There is an issue with the handle having the potential to break off. This happened to me after using one of their new brooms, but I contacted the company and they were good about replacing the broom at no cost.

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.

They are "good" on any surface I've needed to roll them over. The thing that makes them different from other casters is that they truly do not make any mark on hardwood floors.

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.

I have hardwood floors and the wheels have not scratched the floors at all.

I personally haven't had it used on hardwood, but the wheels are exactly like roller skate wheels and I don't think that it will affect the wood.

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.

The wheels are made of hard plastic. I've wheeled my cart on my hardwood floor but only once. I didn't notice any damage.

They are smaller than three inch and they're plastic. They don't have to support as much weight per wheel as a typical office type chair, so they're built accordingly (not heavy duty) and they are not good at rolling over rough surfaces. They are noisy going across tile floors. I checked the OlloUSA web site for exact specs or to see if they offer replacement or premium wheels but they have very little detail available.

I would, if I had hardwood floors in my office upstairs . I'm using the chair on carpet and its perfectly fine. So in short, YES go for it!

Although my chair is on carpet, I'd say the casters would work well on wood floors. There are two wheels about 1/4' wide, spaced about an inch apart. When I just felt the surface, there are tiny "pimples" on the wheels which I'd assume are to make it less slippery on surfaces such as wood. But I can't say too much about the chair itself - it's the most comfortable thing I've ever sat in because there are 5 or 6 different adjustments. For the price, and after reading the other comments before I bought it, you just can't go wrong.
