Are the casters optional? If so, how stable is the unit without them?

They are. It would be fine without them. It would just sit on the bottom part. It would probably be even more stable.

they are optional and I think how stable it is without them would depend on how level your floor is. If it is level it should be very stable.

Hi Duane....The answer to that, is No. The legs lock into place, but there are no casters for the feet. There is, however, roller under the frame, so when the unit is folded up, the roller allows it to be moved easily...hope this helps...Wayne

There is a housing (looks like maybe for the engine) that is below. I never thought of taking the casters off, and am not sure why you would want to. As another reviewer said this unit is very easy to move around. As I said in my earlier review, one of the things we really enjoy is how efficient the dehumidifier is, and that it puts out cold air as it dehumidifies.

32 inches. I use mine without casters. I'm 5'6" and it's the perfect height for working!

Haven't tried it but two caster wheels have a lock on them, and if placed against the wall or in a corner, it's VERY stable. Solid as a rock. Especially after you've put some stuff on it.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes you can assemble it without the wheels. The caster are inserted into the bottom of the base. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

The legs have metal or plastic caps on the bottom - it slides around quite easily already. But if you really wanted casters, I'm sure you could add them if you drilled the holes first!

The one we purchased came with casters, but we chose not to put them on as they were not the locking type. Even without them, it is fairly easy to move. The crib does not fold flat; if you're looking for that type of truly portable crib this is not it. Once set up, it remains solid. You will need to purchase a crib mattress for it, too. The pad it comes with will work for a short time but is not enough support for a larger baby.

Yes, they are just caster wheels... U don't necessarily have to have them on there. They have a locking mechanism so the cage doesn't roll around.

We totally forgot to remove the casters and have had no problem at all, except that the bed is a bit higher than anticipated. At 4'11", I have to leap a bit to get into bed.

Yes, it can be used without the casters. The legs are still about 5 inches tall, and doors open easily. We left the casters on, because they add about 4 inches in height.

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

I do not believe that the metal frame ( hollow tubing) is sufficiently strong or thick to attach casters. The bed is very light and can be easily manipulated ( tilt up) or moved when vacuuming. It has made my clean up around the dog bed much easier.

I think there is another model that has casters. I have this against a wall and I pull it out pretty easily.

It does not come with casters, though you could remove the feet and install them separately, I suppose. Not sure I would recommend casters, though. It would seem too unstable to me.

Yes, the casters do move but not so easily when sitting on it which is good to avoid sliding.......moveable but stable and feels safe.

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.
