Will it still look good if you don't use the casters?

It might. I did toy with that idea but I opted to use them to make sure it looked finished. You might need a cap of some kind at the end to make sure it's slides smoothly and doesn't scratch the floor if you try it without the casters. (I didn't look to closely at the foot ends before I put the casters on so I can't remember how smooth the bottom was.)

Sure but it wouldn't move at all - you'd have to pick it up to move around. If you tried to slide you may scrape your flooring. You would also be a good 10" shorter.

Leaving the casters off would not make it 10 inches shorter! The casters are probably 2 or 2.5inches in diameter so that is all you would loose in height.

It would definitely be shorter but the seat is adjustable anyway and can go up quite high so that shouldn't matter. But you would require some type of cap so not to scratch floors. It would work but I myself like the more finished look of the casters.

I bought this for my teen-aged grandson for Christmas ... he needed something to hold his TV and all the gaming stuff that goes with it. He got it for Christmas 2013, so he has had it for over a year. I have not heard of any issues with the casters.

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.

Yes..just don't install either of them.Can't speak to the stability of not having the casters in though..

They would have to be extremely small and would make the screen very unstable. I'd say don't do casters, but if you can find them, do sliders, like you put under your furniture to move it around easily. I would also check to make sure that the screen comes in one piece, not in two pieces that you have to assemble. I ordered two screens from different companies. One came in two three foot sections that had to be assembled, and the other was one continous piece--no assembly. I'm not sure which one this is your interested in. Good Luck.

I have several of these and in most cases have chosen NOT to use the caster wheels. They are great quality caster wheels that come in a bag when they deliver your product. You can choose to install them or not. They just pop into the pre-set holes.

I am not confident this chair would hold up without casters relative to the frame made for it. Mine is barely holding together as it sits on casters. It wasn't my smartest choice but, minimally at least my money's worth, and no more.Never tried but, could you impede roll or, just create more potential for an accident with door stops?

Certainly --- just don't screw in the CPU Platform --- it in no way effects the rest of the assembly and you will just have a platform, supporting bracket and caster left over. You might even find some other creative use for these extra parts.

Yes, casters work well on grouted tile floors, but aren't rubberized, so expect it to be a bumpy roll!

I would think casters hiding under it would be a better way to go. Maybe ask your hardware store for ideas on it

Yes. I used a small wood block to hammer in the casters to prevent damage. No problems

The caster wheels are detachable. You can opt not to install them or to uninstall them if they're already on.

You might need to contact john boos to find out. When I look at it, I don't think casters will work.

Hello Jody, Thank you for your inquiry. We have contacted the manufacturer in regards to this for you and they state that you can change the casters on your own. However, if you do, it will void your 2-year parts replacement warranty. They would only be able to ship this out with the original casters as well, they would not be able to change them for you. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you, Maria

The wheels are hard plastic on galvanized casters. I don't think rust would be a problem. One caster has a locking mechanism. The only thing I would change about this stand would be using rubber wheels instead of the plastic. My surface is rough tiles with grout so soft wheels would allow it to roll much easier.

No, you'll want to purchase different casters that are softer for wood floors.
