Do these casters have a plastic smell to them when new? I purchased the wheels for a Metro system and the smell was so bad I had to return them.

no I had no problem with any smell from the casters and I used them in a rather confined area

our shelving did not have rollers. We are extremely pleased with the shelving ease of construction and the solidness of the units

They are made of wood, and no they do not smell funny. I did have 2 pair warp on me but that may have been due to poor usage on my part.

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.

Other than a little squeaking noise, the casters have been working fine. They have been on a ceramic tile floor for about two months and have not shown any signs of deterioration.

Hello. They appear to be some generic brand as I cannot find any identifying name or model #. Very generic and non-descriptit appears. The wheels are Powell Peralta Bones though.Hope this helps

No mine had no smell on them. Even in heat (warm car). It did not have a smell

They do tend to have a plastic smell at first, but it went away in a day or so. But if not, why not try spraying it with a mix of a cup of white vinegar to 3 cups of water? Vinegar takes care of a lot of things. Good luck!

These casters have a simple steel shaft as an axle, with no bearings or bushings, just the hard rubber wheel. Any sustainded high speed spinning or heav load would arguably create enough heat to ruin the wheels. They are great little castors for their intended use.

Yes. They actually work better than the factory new casters that came with the GK cabs I bought

I've had that happen with Casters that I purchased from those home stores but these are by far the best I've used. I've purchased several 4 packs and never had issues

No, I haven't had any problems with the wheels at all. Can't remember for sure, but I think you will hear a click when you put the wheels on and that means they are inserted and seated properly. Check to make sure they are completely inserted properly or if there is a defect.

These are plastic 2 inch casters. We had to replace one of ours and found some at Home Depot. But, they were not an exact match in style though they were the same size.

My wheels are NOT plastic. I think they may be a firm rubber. They are firmer than the tip of my cane and that's rubber. I hope this helps you

I have had no issues with my wheels; however, I am not rough with my equipment. Replacement would require that you be a little handy with tools. You can find caster wheels at Lowe's , Home Depot or here at Amazon.

No they did not have any plastic odor upon opening them in my opinion. I was impressed with the quality of them, they feel more like fabric than plastic to me.

No smells. These casters have worked out perfectly. Glad that I purchased them.
